Thanks, you are 100% correct. I had forgotten this 'minor' detail about utlity switching. I have seen big projects get brakes put on because of some $30,000 leftover unpaid JPS bill and no start up electric...THanks for reminder on that..This also goes for property tax. If someone buys land and no tax has been paid and it has not been caught by attorney, new buyer responsible...

BUT...The tax part I still don't understand why Mr. Lawe is responsible for these other taxes unless he was truly allowing them to trade under his name/company name. I find it hard to believe any business person, or at least I would not, would allow 'strangers' to handle the cash collection if that were the case. It just does not add up.

GCT, NHT, NIS, Heart, etc did not even come to my mind because I did not even put the 'old Seasplash' and the new adventure in the same umbrella for that.

Bruja - with JPS (and other utility providers for water/sewage, communications etc) - if the bills for a property are not paid the service will be cut off and will not be reinstated until the arrears, interest and reconnection fees are paid. The only choice the owner had was to pay the outstanding amounts to maintain service to the premises. With respect to taxes, that would include unremitted employee payroll deductions (for income taxes, NHT and other required statutory deductions), General Consumption Tax (GCT) collected on food, drinks, services less any input tax credits, hotel room taxes, plus property taxes - again those would have to be paid or charges/liens could be registered against the real estate.
