“In The News”, FNM Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis says “VAT will seriously impair the already weak, uncompetitive, and struggling Bahamian economy, and harm and diminish the quality of life of every Bahamian!” In a statement released yesterday, the FNM is calling on the government to “come clean” on why it seems to be rushing to implement the new taxation system.
