I was shocked when I learned that only a portion of their vat would be recoverable.

Govt shows no mercy. Through policy they have destroyed the egg industry and now slaps a 30% duty on eggs, which is one of the few healthy things on the price controls.

Beautiful, now that there is no local producer, increase the duty.

The reason I have not signed petition against VAT is because the payroll tax is a lot more regressive.

The GOVT fumbled the ball. If they had tabled the VAT bill in august, as they promised, the public opposition would not have snowballed and no one would ever know that the financial Secretary wears no clothes.

And, yes, contrary to what bahamas uncensored has to say. it is moral turpitude not to pay bills.

Hello, Christians, the bible says that:

Live within your means Luke 14:28
Have savings for a safety net; don’t consume all your wealth Proverbs 21:20

The plps tore off that page.

Milk has fixed margin, go complain to the arawak port. We were had and no one talked about it.

Yogurt is not price controlled, but, after i complained here at the tribune, the price of greek yogurt came down from 6.99 to 4.89, 16 oz, fage. I bought several.

Cost-shifting occurs in eveyr business, that is why one aspirin pill will set you back several dollars if you are hospitalized.

Yep, I switched to price controlled items, and i carry a list around with me.

White or green, even with higher prices, I will buy from him.
He always gives chances to disabled employees, young people who through no fault of their own were born in this country but cannot get pass port till the age of 21, and he educates them in customer service.

I said before, white or black, I will not buy from any plp unless there is a published list of firms which are vat compliant.

If there is no such list, I will find out through the grapevine.

As i said before. I will not patronize any business unless i know their VAT is up to date. I will ask and demand it.
I will go pay higher prices at supervalue if i have too, cause i don't think they will allow supervalue to owe bills.
I am now investigating which insurance companies i need to change my business too..
I will also stop eating at restaurants and hotels.

Here is the deal, if business men will be tax collectors for the govt, I will be unpaid tax inspector for the govt.

I will only patronize businesses who can show they are remitting tax to the govt.

It will not be hard to identify, because most likeley they will be owned by persons on the other side of the political war.

should i suspect the business is owned by "The Boys", I will not buy from them.
