Per the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism blogger, "when you're visiting The Bahamas, you get the opportunity to shop tax-free at stores that display the "Global Blue Tax-Free Shopping" signage."
Make sure to have your passport or valid ID on your person. You will also have to spend $25 or more, but that shouldn't be too difficult given the great prices in The Bahamas.
Unfortunately, the following items are not available for tax-free shopping: "food, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and medicine and pharmaceutical."
So, load up on your shopping since you won't have to worry about paying any taxes.
