the one by the big foodstore out on carmichael

they charge 1% processing fee.

there is one that charges 1% or $10 whichever is higher, so your bill would be 28.50 if you shipped this same item with them.

this was one item at 2.8 lbs shipping weight and 20% duty.

sure it is a burden.

But I can see how they decided on this. They probably have worked for places where the bosses charge personal expenses such as car payment and mortgage to the business. These things would not be VAT free, so they are greedy for the VAT.

Suppose i have a business selling appliances, and I decide to furnish my home with appliances. The GOVT does not want the VAT on those appliances netted off.

Suppose the plumber works in my house but sends the invoice to the business. If i pay out of my pocket, I pay vat, but I can net it off if sent to the business.

What baffles me is, what are they going to do with the audit? who is going to read them? Why eveyr single business?

What they should do is continue the present system but request the audit randomly, like the IRS does in the US.

check the bahamas customs brochure.
customs duty is charged on price paid.
vat is charged on customs duty plus price paid.

customs duty is not charged on freight.
vat only is charged on freight.

but yes, my latest online purchase was 27.00, the shipping cost plus duties was 18.50. so the total cost of the item was 45.50.

i guess the pool will rot till there are tree roots growing in it . AGAIN.
the foundation of the original building at fox hill sat there till there were trees growing in it.

perhaps mr. mitchell cam help pay for the pool maintenance.

they probably did it to buy remy, but will put the change towards the light bill

he would say that. it has not been useless to him as he has taken full advantage of the bisx's inefficiencies and deficiencies.

we should export teflon, looks like it comes out of the faucet.

so how many divers are there in the police and defense force? I bet not many.

translation: Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and he pig likes it.

the exemption onthe bill is foolish.
what they should do is zero-rate bpls fuel to reduce the bill and thus benefit everyone.
but they are greedy.

just bathe in cold water
