BTC was a disaster always, only the post office workers were worse. No property sale can be completed unless and until all outstanding property tax is paid. How do people not know this?
BiStrachan comment is as inaccurate as usual. Pindling's Immovable Properties Act was a disaster that killed most all Out Island development. The whole Bahamian economy suffered horribly in the 1980's; when PM Ingraham repealed the gregarious piece of legislation then the economy took off and everyone benefitted.
So the tourists pay this taxi driver $540 dollars to drive them around for a day and then he refuse to wait some minutes past the 3pm pick up time at Junkanoo beach. OK, That's just how most people act unfortunately, and most see nothing wrong with their actions either. Sadly no surprises here.
"Most real estate companies share their commissions 50/50 [with staff], so straight right off the bat your profit margin is at 50 percent." Real estate agents do not get salaries usually, they only get commission on sales. The commission is their salary. Commissions, like salaries, come out of gross profits. I do not think this particular argument will get off the ground. Although the government taxes on real estate transactions are indeed exorbitant.
Good luck to those who purchase a short term bond paying 2o%. Such a very high interest rate . s eems a bit desperate to me. I will not take advantage of this offer. ll
Loftus stood out from the Pindling cabinet because he displayed a high degree of integrity, something rarely seen in his cabinet colleagues. One of the rare ones who refused all attempts to bribe him.
