Sales tax and VAT are not the same. You do not pay sales tax on bank transactions, rent, utility bills, etc. Also VAT is collected at every level so it is cumulative. Two very different things, Birdie
I do not think they have a right to sue as it is a public company. Technically their outstanding bills are owed to the Bahamian people so WE have a right to know. WE, the public, should be able to sue for the entire delinquent list not the other way around. WE also should be able to remove BEC employees that allow this blatant abuse by a few to continue.
This is bad reporting. It is important to know whether these new cases are from people that had recently travelled outside the country or if they contracted it here. Big difference. Were they asked? Of course they were. So tell us.
