Of course they should do it.
with today's headlines in the guardian, people will march against vat.
civil servants by general orders are not supposed to be in financial embarassment.

Make them all disclose.

VAT is dead. lol

Good, Sir. but don't stop there: Name the millionaires who contributed to the plp campaign whose taxes are outstanding.

Mind you, when they initiated the payment of retirement funds to past mps, sometimes in the 90's, their past due balance on rpt was deducted from their lumpsum.

that information was in the public domain back then, if someone in the press business cares to dig that out.

smart idea, mad one, smart.

i only sound off here at the tribune.

no one has ever erected the statue of a critic

bahamians do not like to oppose, so the machiavelian ones impose their stupidity on others and they just hope they die early. Like chavez, he did everyone a favor.

that is the wrong meyers you are talking about

And. lest we forget: the alternative is payroll tax!!!! payroll tax folks!!!

With vat, you can minimise your profile by seeking no tax or low-tax items. Preparing your own meals, and learning how ro do minor repairs on your appliances.

But pay roll, you are hit for certain, and and, they will keep increasing it.

And , the VAT consultant is not on payroll, so he dont pay nothing while ducking the long-standing property tax.

> real property tax. im sorry, i dont
> know anyone that pays theirs

And that is another bromide of bill duckers.
Once my neighbour was at the tax office arguing over her property tax bill.
Grasping for straws, she declared she did not have to pay the bill because I had not paid mine.
She then called me at work and put the civil servant on the phone.
I told him that, I first received a lump bill late from the treasury--the reason for the bill under the law was explained to me by a person whom I named-- but that i had paid it off and then kept current for several years. He checked and confirmed that I had no outstanding bill.
I took the opportunity to tell him: don't believe the witch, she never pays her hoa fees.

Anyhow, she owes water and sewage thousands of dollars, she said they took her to court and nothing happened. Mine is current.

From time to time Water and Sewage issues summonses and the bill duckers send the policeman to me. I just tell them i am not named in the summonses, that the HOA does not collect funds to HOA bills and that they are all dishonest bill duckers.

People have no shame. If you say someone does not pay their bills, they are not ashamed.
Buy, if you call them poor or stupid, big fight in bain town.

A bank account has been setup at the bank of the bahamas to collect donations to pay mr. lightbourne arrears.

also there will a cookout at the plp headquarters.

the 30 million vat fund to assist the nouveau poor has not been established yet.

he looks like gary oldman as bram stoke's dracula.

Only thing that can make you young is photoshop

Maybe he was chosen with the purpose to dismantle the VAT. Notice that he was always at odds in the media with the financial secretary.

in the bahamas, only the poor or the unfortunate pay taxes. he was unfortunate.

but the Guardian quoted him as saying "I did not receive a bill for 3 years", a typical excuse of non-paying bahamians when they ishplain themselves at bec and batelco. (Sort of like saying, yeah i killed the fella, but i did not know murder was a crime)

Well, i supposed he stopped receiving bills when the plp regained power.
