And how is it that "Compliance" can be improved? Often the diet advice is absurd. Once I saw a brochure suggesting diabetics eat peas and rice for breakfast. They tell them not to eat sugar, but pump them with carbohydrates otherwise . Not to mention the portion size for Bahamians is huge.
I once opposed a dietician in a Zoom session who was telling diabetics to eat cassava instead of rice. Same difference. The moderator did not ask my question.
I had to change doctors to get blood pressure medication because they prefer to prescribe hours of exercise to those who cannot exercise, and tell not to eat salt. Bush medicine is better care than that.
But no, wait till the blood pressure damages me, before giving me a cheap pill.

All properties have tax assessment numbers. The tax assessed could be zero if below the treshold.
They should hold up the sales so that people pay the taxes where due, the status can change based on the nationality of the buyer.
As to the change in exemption, yes, it is supposed to take place in 2025, as soon as we ascend to the WTO.
