Effective July 1, 2010, the Bahamas hotel tax on vacation rentals has increased from 6% to 10%. Those owners renting a vacation rental(s) in Rainbow Bay, Eleuthera can submit their monthly returns and payment for ten percent of the rental income collected from guests to the Administrator's Office in Governor's Harbour Eleuthera (the pink post office building in downtown Governor's Harbour).
The monthly return can be completed and mailed in or you can stop by the local office. The return form can be found on the http://www.tourismtoday.com/ website. Here is the link to the monthly return itself. Currently for payment, the office is not accepting US checks--just cash, money orders, or Bahamian checks addressed to the Public Treasury.
The Governor's Harbour Administrator's office phone # is 242-332-2112
