The tourists can get their vat back, bahamians cannot.
There was a time when i used to buy cologne on bay st. Since Vat, it has become cheaper to buy in the duty free shop. Good ifit is not coming back to the bahamas.
Mind i increasingly see bahamians with duty free shopping bags when returning from the US
Many can understand his frustation, and he is quite right about the ease of doing business.
But his demands are ridiculous, he has not been elected to do anything, and, justto think a "furreigner " is going to be advising onlegislation is quite naive.
He needs to hire a lawyer, or perhaps a talk show host, to lobby for him, been done many times.

I always though you were younger than me , naughty. So you must be older. But I cannot recall it was ever any better. From the days of batelco, no one answer the phone at the phone company. they also take three months to answer emails. then you have to drag yourself to their office an bring lunch, because the wait is much like that of a government clinic.
the yellow pages were ruined long before that, when thry put in the hands of a very very lazy bahamian with many letters behind her name. she got a golden parachute eventually.

It's not that profitable.
Let's say you rent for 90 a

You need to clean every time a guest leaves,
And the maid does not work for free.
There are even costs in constant replacement of sheets, towels, pillows,etc...
So by the time you pay all your service providers and the bank, there is notmuch left.
