Easy, teachers who make 100,000 or more can get vat refund on the school supplies they buy out of pocket, including personal computers.

Payroll taxt is worse than VAT for those on payroll.

That is regressive too.

It is a shame that businessmen are talking payroll tax.

It is just that prices at SV are out of control, and have been for quite a while.

When I find old stock items with old prices, I demand they sell me for the old price and they comply.

There is no significant difference between the prices of price-controlled items between SV and their competitors.

Fruit has alwats been way cheaper at Solomon's.

Some times are absurdly priced, like greek yogurt, but the brie cheese is very cheap.

Payroll tax only catches the sardine.

Snakes and sharks are not on the payroll.

LEt the businessmen, lawyers, doctors and all manner of self-employed pay vat too.

They on a deadline, got to be before vat or people will say no.

VAT legislation? next month.
Referendum? next month
Gaming bill? no date
Abaco airport? no date-- the plp will never cut the ribbon on a building named a white man.

Which reminds me, the diet starts tomorrow. No Monday is better.

Now, now, you and Rupert want me to march with you to make food zero-rated?
Keep quiet, or I will suggest to govt to control the price of organic rasberries so I can afford to buy some.

But honestly, some of them tree-huggers flour is cheaper at AML. I go there and buy all the cheap stuff.

But not raspberries.

that could never open, there are no bathrooms in the center and no work area for the prosecutors,

they tried, but built a complex with no work area for prosecutoer and no bathrooms.

you just prosecute from 9am-4pm without going.

these govt people are stupid, they make this stuff up on the spot.
Actually you can get refund for florida sales tax if you leave the country, but it is a pain in the arse to fill out the forms and wait for refund, and clear a us check that takes 21 days.

All the china, linen and sweater shops closed downtown, all that remains is liquor and perfume. Amazon sells the perfume, sales tax free with no shipping on purchases over 35. The merchants have to compete with that.

China now is only sold to the local market, Kelly's being the main one. John s George and Maura closed, and now multidiscount never really got started. Why? tourist don'y buy china any more. Merchants will buy different stuff. Bone china is no longer from England or germany, now it is made in Thailand or sri lanka.

But , in addition, I think it is discriminatory to sell me stuff for more than a tourist pay. People who advocate gambling often talk about discrimination, but this discrimination too.

I think VAT on food is greedy and usurious. Remember the tea party and also Ghandi. Jesus said the poor will always be with you.

I want to see the rich pay property tax. I must pay my pittance but others owe millions. And it is known that prominent PLPS dont pay electricity or nib or property tax. This is in fact the main reason why everyone hates VAT.
