I had to use a calculator

I have two receipts so far.

the first one says:
subtotal: 53.19
taxable at 12%: 44.52
taxable at 0% : 8.57

Next to the vat free , there is the symbols {*} for each item
Next to the vatable , there is the symbols {T} for each item

this is from a major foodstore.

The other receipt is from a smaller food store operator, and not detailed, so the burden was on me to pickout which items were vat free. The bill was correct and the store does use POS, so maybe the system will be adjusted soon.
I did not say anything because the food store owner is a nice man and I am sure he would answer if i asked.

But definitely, it will be a burden on the consumer if the store is allowed to continue this practice.

back in 2014, i used to buy president brand camembert cheese, 10 oz, i think, for about 12 dollars.
it is like 21 dollars now, same size.
they made sure cream cheese is not vat free.

reduce the fruit, it has too much fructose and makes you fat.

your apple, other fruits and fresh meat will never be zero rated, no perishables ever will, as they cost money to keep.

at lest they could have included some dry and canned beans for more nutrition.

the 1973 price control act is still in force!!! even sugar is still price controlled, just not VAT free.

remember the price control act just covers white flour, the vat zerorated includes several flours. At 15.00 per pound, i cannot buy coconut flour whether it is vat free or price controlled.

i have now combed through 2 of my receipts to see what is VAT free, the vat free items are not identified. just the vat free and taxable totals.

where can i download a complete list, including customs headings?

I suspect that price control will go away next year.

> How were these passengers "booking"
> these flights or hearing about them?

you do not "book" these flights. you just go loiter in the airport and tell people you are going to andros, and they tell you where to go.

nowadays there is whatsapp and the thing goes by word of mouth.

sometimes there is an odd fella there asking you to bring a cooler of frozen meats for his parents.

then suggest how to stop the hackers.

One can never mention incompetence in the Bahamas.

Be kind to your web-footed friends. that duck may be somebody's mother.

people walking around in the n ight should wear some reflective clothing at least.

no one said it was a tax free visit.

however, in the latest vat amendment act, persons with airbnb have become taxable persons, and owner-occupied homes means you conduct no business.

i other words, if you rent as airbnb you might lose your property tax exemption.

the vat amendent act has been posted.
