		<description><![CDATA[Just wondering if anyone can confirm: 

1) If I dont have a tenant in my apartment (building) do I not have to pay land tax? 

2) If I have an apartment / building due to be renovated do I not have to pay land tax for that period?

3) If I am in the procecess of selling my home / building, do I not have to pay land tax?

Just wondering if any of the above scenarious would be a loophole being used for someone not paying any landtax? Surely, the government did not willing include in the original Arbitrade agreement a clause stating that they would be ARV exempt? Or is this an error on the landvaluation website?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is this a webinar? Why not host it at Sankofa House (formerly, Victoria Hall)?

And why does the Government website (https://www.landvaluation.bm/) list every floor of Sankofa House as “Commercial (Unusable)” with an ARV of $0?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, boy, oh boy! More unaccredited videos to support another failed Government initiative. FYI - you will find better information by watching YouTube videos without having to wait a month between videos. 

&quot;Don’t miss the opportunity to discover why FinTech is a cornerstone of Bermuda’s future.”  It&#039;s a good thing I was not drinking anything when I read that! What happened to all those new fintech companies that registered in Bermuda? There was pretty much zero job creation as they are paper companies with employees working overseas. Several have gone under, several have not renewed their domicile papers. The remaining companies will just dry up and disappear. 

FYI - &quot;fintech&quot; has been around for decades. All we see today is more spin on old technology.]]></description>
