the first girl has a hair band and a nicely styled hair.

the second girl could use a hair band, hair clip or an attractive turban. it is not a matter of natural hair-- the hair is unadorned-- she just needs accessories that are suitable for the business where she works.

When i am elected, I will pass the Clothing Transparency Act which requires all travellers to arrive and leave the country donned in hospital gowns with no underwear so as not to deprive the government of duties and the retailers from sales.

I will also sue the newspapers for publishing classified ads which are a" vehicle for fraud" as well.

If it were not for these fraudsters, evrrrybody would buy 180 dollars jeans from her shop and 80,000 car.

counter productive to those who wish to maintain their cushy jobs for hardly doing anything at bisx.

Hey, i pay duty, i pay vat, i pay vat on duty and i pay some ridiculous shipping costs to a freight forwarder. So this argument is silly.

Still cheaper than what i could find locally, if i could find it.

BTW, the freight forwarder does employ many bahamians and collectes vat from me too.

so now his children are the children of a foreign man and will have same trouble in the future,

and to think bahamians used to raise funds to allow mugabe to gain power 40 years ago.

the ad on the radio says:

you do not have to have money, all you have to have is salary to deduct.

75% in salary deduction is indentured labour.

a long time ago i worked for an organization which thrived on salary deductions. when i looked at the peoples paycheck i tried to dissuade them from getting more salary deductions and they used to get angry and say their govt salary was not their on;y income as ''they had apartments on rent''. Amazing, you get apartments on rent and now scrambling to get a 40 dollar salary deduction.

but there are predatory relatives too, As soon as their young sons join the forces and the civil service their ma and grandma force them to get salary deduction and call the wutless. i know a man who ended up in sandilands because the relatives deducted 60% of his salary and the poor fella could not even enjoy the fruits of his labor.

I prophecy that even motre people will die in 2018

i traveled abroad three times since vat, and in those three times, i was charged duty plus vat on the excess of 300 exemption, not on the total amount purchased/

it seems that the letter writer was charged vat on the total amount of her purchase , including any duty free items.

when i receive duty free items through a courier, i pay vat on those.

suppose my invoice is:

100 at 20% duty
100 duty free items
20 shipping

i pay vat on the total 220, 16.50
then i pay 20 duty and 1.50 vat on the duty, 21.50

my total bill is 38.00.

what you say is true.

if you look at civil servants, including the teachers, if there are slackers in the dept, they are bahamian, the lazy or chronically late foreigners get fired, so the dept heads go to the foreigners who show up for and do work all the time.

As for the marking of exams, bahamians stopped doing it because their pay was reduced years ago. in the beginning of the bgcse, the markers used to get 1,500 then they switched to payment per script so now only the less experienced teachers take it.
