actually, they do pay VAT, when they import the vehicle they pay VAT on the import value and on the duty. They just do not get VAT credit and presumably mark all of that up to their customers.
As to the rest, Business License, NIB and property tax, you do not know whether they pay or not.

Let us do that with clothes and shoes too to protect the apparel merchants. Require a license for each package that you pick up from the courier.
one pair of shoes a year, one pair of pants a years, one shirt a year.

If you think government is bureaucratic, you have not met this guy. lol.

i applied online.
to my surprise, they asiigned me to a priavte doctor.
i called the doctor as he is not my doctor of record and they said that, i can come in when i need the services of a doctor.
i feel guilty going there if this guy is not going to get paid, and before i receive any services i will ask if i have to pay anyway.
if that is the case, i will go to my regular doctor.

these schools also pay crap, and Bahamainas can find something better.
the newbie english teachers take a contract to play on the beach and eat ramen noodles for three years then they go gladly back home.
