Register as a self-employed professional in Lebanon

2 comments

My dear friends,

I know that many of you are self-employed professionals getting work from big companies but are not registered with the Ministry of Finance yet.
Here is the Income Tax Guide For Self-Employed (Liberal) Professionals in English and the Income Tax Guide For Self-Employed (Liberal) Professionals in Arabic for you to see how it works.

If you decide to register, Congratulations! You can start by filling out Form M10 & Form M11. Submit them to the Ministry of Finance (AM!). They could need two days processing at end of which an official document with a number to include on the invoices you issue will be given.

I hope that this will help you.

Best regards!

Welcomeness vs politeness

10 comments

14 March was my brother’s birthday. With no idea of what to get him, I went out on a hunt with my boyfriend from mall to mall looking for what could make him happy.

While checking out from the supermarket at Citymall, a bottle of water in my hand and confused in my head, I noticed a client, an American guy, who was in front of me. He said “Thank you young man” out loud to the cashier and took his grocery bags. The cashier smiled back at him.

I looked at my boyfriend with a smile. He said: “Europeans and Americans may not be extremely welcoming, but they are polite. In our area it’s a bit the opposite; we tend to be more welcoming than polite. Already obvious in the way we drive on the roads.”

I don’t know why, but I started to think whether I said “Thank you” enough during the day.

In the evening, empty handed, I went to my brother, gave him a hug and said: “Thank you!”

Sleep Box

Designed by Arch Group (Russia)

SLEEPBOX is intended primarily to perform one main function – to enable a person to sleep peacefully. But it can also be equipped with various additional functions, depending on the situation. Application of the device can be very broad, not only in the form of paid public service, but also for internal purposes of organizations and companies.

  • Size: 2 m x 1,40m x 2,30m  to sleep in comfort and security.
  • Cheap sleep in case of emergency for anyone rich or poor.
  • No time wasted looking for a hotel.
  • Designed to be installed at train stations and airports, and central public places or cities where accommodation is fully booked.
  • In tropical climate countries the sleeper box can be installed outdoors in main streets.
  • The space includes bed, linen, ventilation system, alarm. LCD TV, WiFi , space for your laptop and re-chargeable phone. Under your bed and floor there is a cupboard for your luggage.
  • Payment is made at terminals who will give clients an electronic key that can be purchased for 15 minutes or for as many hours as you need.

It seems that Dubai Airport is installing them. Is that true? Did anyone try it? What do you think of the idea?
