This is not for lower class bahamians. it is for civil servants. as reported on the Tribune on may 10th:
> LOTS in Sunset Close and Fox Hill > worth $30,000 or less will officially > go on sale in June or July, Prime > Minister Dr Hubert Minnis announced > yesterday, adding that the lots will > be available ONLY to police officers, > immigration officers, customs > officers, defence force officers, > prison officers, teachers and nurses > in the first wave.
they are giving more privilege to the civil servant. we pay taxes to keep the lazy working. now they can get 2% interest lloan ( free money just about), through salary deductions.
the civil servants are more equal than others, yep.
nonsense. when amazon ships to a courier, i pay vat and duty on the packages arrival.
when a bahamian goes to a relative's home or has it delivered at the hotel in miami, he brings back the stuff with him, he pays vat and duty beyond the 500 exemption.
only thing we do not pay vat on is software or music purchases. however, in the future, the technology may exist that allows the govt to collect vat on that.
