The first video entitled “How To File A VAT Return” is a simple video taking you through a step-by-step process including creating the return, saving a draft of the return, adding supporting documents among other important issues.
The second video entitled “How To Make A Payment Online” demonstrates for the taxpayer how to go about making a payment using the Online Taxpayer Administration System (OTAS).
VAT Registrants are advised that they can view the videos by selecting the appropriate link under Video Tab on the government’s website at www.bahamas.gov.bs/VAT.
