The Ministry of Finance
advises that in light of the approaching Tropical Storm Erika, added
flexibility is being extended in the Family Islands to allow Government owned
vehicles to obtain fuel on credit from service stations that are in close
proximity to the offices or residences where the officers are stationed.
Public officers should
ensure that all invoices record the license plate number of the Government
vehicle, the authorized driver and the tax identification number or TIN of the
fuel supplier.
All invoices must be forwarded
to the Ministry of Finance for payment, either through the Family Island
Administrator's office or through the finance office of the respective
Ministries and Department in Nassau.
This convenience is for providers
of essential services including, police, customs and immigration officers,
doctors, nurses and other similar employees.
