Megvan a víz, ezzel pedig az első "hűbazmeg!" is.

De legelőször elmesélem, hogy a pincében találtam egy nagy doboz régi újságot. Rögtön a tetején az első egy 1980-as újság a Superman film Olaszországi bemutatójáról.

Ma már így nézett ki a kert. Amúgy a vízaknát kerestük, közben kiszedtük a gazt. A vízakna nem lett meg.

Felmértem a házat, megcsináltam a méretezett alaprajzhoz az összes adatot, közben persze belém ivódott minden centi, minden repedés, folt, kiszögelés, behorpadás, az egész ház. De a vízóra helye nem lett meg. Vízóra helye úgy néz ki, hogy jön egy cső, majd kb 20 cm hiány, majd folytatódik a cső. Legalább az egyik csőrészen van egy elzáró a másik meg le van dugózva. Szóval egy ilyen nem létező 20 centis szakaszt kerestünk. Nem találtuk. Kitaláltunk persze rengeteg egyéb dolgot, mérlegeltük a feladatokat, kerestük a megoldásokat. Kb három mondatonként hangzott el, a "persze nem ez a legfontosabb". De, nagyon fontos. Nekem minden kérdés és minden válasz nagyon fontos. Mert éjjel felébredek, hogy hogy az istenbe oldjuk meg azt, hogy... és nekem akkor kell egy válasz. ha van válasz, fel se ébredek.

Jó hogy vettem falnedvesség mérőt. Az emeleten, ahol lepotyogott két helyen a vakolat, tégláig lekapargáltam a falat. Száraz. uh, megnyugtató. A homlokzaton a vakolat száraz, ja, már elvált a faltól, de alatta a tégla... attól kiakadt a mérő. :( Minden kétes ponton végignéztem. Van egy überbrutál kedvenc szerszámom. Mindenre azt használom, szerintem univerzális darab. A lakásfelújítás Algopirinje. Az enyém jobb, de valami ilyen:

Két napon keresztül ezzel mindent megoldottam az öreg zárcserétől az aknabontásig. :D

Szóval végeztünk a felméréssel, lefotóztam minden részt, megbeszéltük mit hogyan csinálunk, mocskosak lettünk a végtelenségig meg piszok fáradtak, de én B-t már legalább 10 éve nem láttam ilyen aktívnak és vidámnak és bár ismerjük egymást kamaszkorunktól kezdve, most így vén fejjel elkezdett engem becenéven hívni. Ahogy apám is nevezett. Megható volt. Furcsa, de kedves. Nagyon-nagyon kevesen hívnak ezen a néven. Szintet léptünk.

Imádom ezt a házat. És még a várost, a környéket nem is ismerem. A templomharang napközben csendes. Vasárnap délben rondán harangozik, de amúgy kussol. Jóban leszünk. :D

Szóval befejeztünk mindent, persze mindent 80x nyitottunk, zártunk, még visszamentünk, még eszünkbe jutott valami, még megnéztük... az elég stresszes B halálos higgadtsággal kezelte a dolgot, persze most nézzük meg, nem rohanunk, inkább nézzük meg, semmi se gond. De tényleg mindennel készen voltunk, csak a víz nem volt meg. Összecsomagoltunk, összesöpörtem, kicuccoltunk. Ránézek a telómra, az ingatlanos elküldte a választ, hogy hol van a vízóra helye! B: ő addig innen el nem megy, amíg nem látta, úgyhogy nézzük meg! Vissza a kecóba, hát ott biztosan nincs. Kocogtatom, kalapálom, kicsit kong. Na, nekiálltunk bontani a szuperszerszámommal, meg egy közepes kalapáccsal, meg egy rozsdás ácskapoccsal, amit a pincében találtunk. Annyira röhögtem, de annyira, de bontottuk. Nem hiszitek el! Megtaláltuk! Valami fasz betömte a lyukat, majd bevakolta az egészet. Amúgy sosem kerestem volna ott. Pedig mondták, a két szoba között...

És sajnos nem csak a vízóra helye lett meg, hanem az is, hogy innen vizesedik az egész homlokzat. Úgyhogy lementünk a pincébe, megvizsgáltuk ott is a lemenő vezetéket. ha az az, amit gondolok, akkor az egy vicc. :( Elég sírnivaló vicc, de vicc. :( Kicuccoltunk újra. Aztán ültünk a lépcsőn a ház kapujában és arról beszélgettünk, hogy hogy a fenében fogjuk kibontani a korrodált csövet, mert ezer százalék, hogy ott a baj gyökere. De pláne, hogy szerzek egy olasz-magyar-angol vízszerelőt Magyarországról Olaszországba. Váááá, kihívás!!! :D Mondtam, hogy rengeteg pénzért milyen jó sok megoldandó problémát vettem magamnak! És röhögtünk, aztán hazajöttünk a szállásra, megfürödtem, közben megsült a pizza amit akciósan vettem és akciósan vett mindenféléket raktam még rá, és elkezdtem írni a blogot, és fáradt vagyok és boldog, és csak azt érzem, hogy EZ AZ ÉLET amit szeretek.

Mennyi szépséges rozsda! :D B valami miatt egyre több dologra mondja, hogy ő azt meg akarja csinálni, bevállalja, csináljuk meg. Lehet, hogy jó hatással van rá egy másfajta kihívás az unalmas verkli helyett. Amúgy egy csomó Olasz felújítós videót néz meg követ felújítós blogokat. Csak azoknak van pénze. :D Én meg mit tehetek? Bizakodom! Nekem abból van sok. :) Holnap meg indulunk haza.

kukucska...

Jaj, minek örültem meg ma reggel!

Húzkodtam az invazív gyomokat a sziklakert mellett a murvából, amit az előző tulaj hagyott ránk, és szeretnénk megszüntetni. Fiam, jó néhány év küzdelem után végre belátta, hogy ez a geotextil+murva kombó semmit nem ér, ugyanúgy kinő a gaz, és rengeteg melóval jár. Javasoltam, hogy szedjük fel, és füvesítsünk, azt lehet nyírni. Vagy inkább vessük be fehér herével, mert az elvileg kiszorítja a többi gazt, javítja a talajt, egyenletesebb lesz mint a gyep, és szinte semmi törődést nem igényel.

Szóval még a gyomlálós éra van, és egyenként húzogatunk ki mindent, ami hagyja magát. Ebben a kánikulában a kora reggel a jó időpont erre.

Gyomlálok, gyomlálok, próbálok nem belemarkolni vagy véresre karmoltatni a lábam szárát a centis tüskéjű acatok között, amikor megmozdul előttem egy fakóra száradt valamidarab.

Keresd a képen:

Ha nem találod, itt egy videó, amelyben fújkálással próbáltam megmozdulásra bírni, miközben igyekeztem aknamezőként lépegetni a lesből támadó acatok között, szóval a minőséget most ne firtassuk.

Igen, ez egy cuki imádkozó sáska a jellegzetes háromszög fejével. Ennek a nősténye szokta jóízűen elfogyasztani a férjét a párzás után. Könyörtelen ragadozó hírében áll az új kis barátunk, szóval hajrá! Éljen a biodiverzitás, a tápláléklánc, és az egyre egészségesebbé váló ökoszisztémánk itt világvégefalván <3

Ady Endre: A tanárok dolga

Gazember az, aki a magyar tanárok negyvenezer pillanatnyi fiaskójában nem látja meg az embert és a gazt. Az ember; a tanár, aki eleddig nem tudta, hogy ember s a gaz: a mi egész magyar "álladalmi" és társadalmi életünk. Itt, nálunk szoktak félelmes bácsiknak közpénzből nyíltan, százezer koronás állásokat teremteni. Itt, nálunk szoktak radikális és puritán politikusok lecsüggesztett fejjel s talmudi búval beletörődni, hogy gazemberek nélkül nem lehet élni, főképpen magyarul.

S itt, ahol minden megértésre találhat, még a teljesen érthetetlen is (nem bánom: mondja egy vicces ember: az Ady-versek) a tanárokat senki sem érti. Megértené talán a miniszterük, de neki tilos a megértés, mert van Ausztria és van pénz és nincs Magyarország és nincs pénz. És ha sztrájkkal, amerikázással s nem tudom mivel fenyegetőznek e szegény tanárok, annál rosszabb. örülnek a szülök, a nebulók s legjobban örül a hivatalos Magyarország mai képviselete, melynek nem érdeke, hogy a tanárok jó tanárok legyenek.

Gazember az, aki korának legminimálisabban kifundált eszméit legminimálisabban meg nem érti. Én értem, hogy Magyarországon föl lehet rúgni a tanárságot, mert bajt csinál, mert kultúrát csinál, de ami gaz, az Közép- sőt Kelet-Európában is gaz marad s az ember mégis csak mindenütt: ember.

Saudi Arabia's strategic location, robust economy, and ambitious Vision 2030 initiative make it an attractive destination for entrepreneurs aiming to start a business in Saudi Arabia. The trading sector, in particular, offers significant opportunities due to the Kingdom's efforts to diversify its economy and reduce dependence on oil revenues.

Economic Reforms and Opportunities

Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia has implemented numerous reforms to create a more business-friendly environment. The introduction of the Premium Residency program allows expatriates to live, work, and own businesses and property without the need for a sponsor, thereby encouraging foreign investment. Additionally, the government has opened up previously restricted sectors, such as allowing foreign investment in publicly listed companies owning real estate in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Steps to Establishing a Trading Business

To start a trading business in Saudi Arabia, foreign investors must navigate several key steps:

Choose a Business Structure: Options include Limited Liability Company (LLC), Joint Stock Company (JSC), branch office, or representative office. The LLC is commonly preferred for trading activities due to its flexibility and limited liability protection.

Obtain Necessary Licenses: Secure an investment license from the Ministry of Investment (MISA), formerly known as SAGIA. This license is crucial for foreign investors to operate legally within the Kingdom.

Importer of Record in Saudi Arabia: A Comprehensive Guide

When engaging in international trade, understanding the role and responsibilities of the Importer of Record (IOR) is crucial for businesses importing goods into any country. In Saudi Arabia, as one of the leading economies in the Middle East, the IOR plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods while adhering to the regulatory framework of the kingdom. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide on the concept of the Importer of Record in Saudi Arabia, outlining its significance, legal requirements, and the process involved.

What is an Importer of Record (IOR)?

An Importer of Record is a business or individual responsible for ensuring that imported goods comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and customs procedures in the destination country. In essence, the IOR is the party who assumes responsibility for clearing goods through customs, paying any applicable duties, and ensuring that the goods are properly documented.

The IOR is typically the party listed on the customs declaration as the importer, and they are accountable for any issues or discrepancies that may arise during the importation process. In Saudi Arabia, the role of the IOR is critical because it ensures that the goods entering the country meet the standards set by Saudi authorities, including those for quality, safety, and adherence to Islamic law (Shariah).

Legal and Regulatory Framework for Importation in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has a well-established regulatory framework to control and oversee the importation of goods into the country. The General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT), along with Saudi Customs, is responsible for enforcing the regulations that govern importation. The key legal requirements for importing goods into Saudi Arabia include the following:

Customs Duties and Taxes: Importers must pay customs duties and value-added tax (VAT) at the applicable rates. The standard VAT rate is 15%, but there are certain exemptions depending on the type of goods being imported.

Import License: For certain products, an import license or permit may be required. For instance, food products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other sensitive goods need to be accompanied by appropriate certifications and licenses.

Saudi Product Conformity Assessment Program (PCA): To ensure that imported products meet the kingdom's standards for quality and safety, Saudi Arabia requires conformity assessments for many products. This program, managed by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO), mandates that certain goods be tested and certified before they can enter the market.

Halal Certification: As a predominantly Muslim country, Saudi Arabia requires many imported goods to be Halal-certified. This includes food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. An IOR must ensure that any product requiring this certification is in compliance with Saudi standards.

Health and Safety Regulations: Imported goods must also adhere to the health and safety standards set by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) or other relevant bodies. This is particularly important for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumable products.

Key Responsibilities of the Importer of Record in Saudi Arabia

The IOR in Saudi Arabia is entrusted with a number of responsibilities to ensure the smooth and legal importation of goods. These responsibilities include:

Customs Clearance: One of the main tasks of the IOR is to facilitate the customs clearance process. This involves submitting accurate customs declarations and ensuring that all relevant documents, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and certificates of origin, are properly prepared and submitted to Saudi Customs.

Payment of Duties and Taxes: The IOR is responsible for paying any applicable import duties and taxes, including customs duties, VAT, and any other applicable fees. Non-payment or late payment can result in penalties and delays.

Compliance with Standards: The IOR must ensure that the imported goods comply with all Saudi Arabian standards and regulations. This includes obtaining necessary certifications, such as Halal certification or conformity assessment certifications, as required by Saudi authorities.

Record-Keeping: The IOR must maintain accurate records of all import transactions, including customs documents, payment receipts, and certificates of conformity. These records must be kept for a specified period and made available for inspection if required by authorities.

Risk Management and Liability: As the party responsible for the importation process, the IOR assumes liability for any violations of customs regulations, misdeclarations, or non-compliance with regulatory standards. Therefore, it is critical for the IOR to manage risks effectively and avoid any legal repercussions.

The Importation Process in Saudi Arabia

The process of importing goods into Saudi Arabia involves several steps, and the IOR is involved at every stage:

Preparation and Documentation: Before shipping goods to Saudi Arabia, the IOR must ensure that all necessary documentation is in order. This includes contracts, invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and any other required certifications. Goods must also be inspected for conformity with Saudi standards before shipment.

Shipping and Customs Declaration: Once the goods arrive in Saudi Arabia, the IOR must submit a customs declaration to Saudi Customs, along with all relevant documentation. The customs authorities will review the declaration and assess the appropriate duties and taxes.

Payment of Duties and Taxes: Upon approval from Saudi Customs, the IOR must pay the applicable customs duties and taxes. Payment is typically made electronically via the Saudi Customs’ e-services platform.

Customs Inspection and Clearance: In some cases, customs authorities may inspect the imported goods to ensure that they meet all legal and regulatory requirements. If the goods pass the inspection, they will be cleared for release to the importer.

Final Delivery: Once the goods have cleared customs, the IOR can arrange for the final delivery and distribution of the goods within Saudi Arabia.

Importance of Choosing a Reliable Importer of Record

Given the complexities involved in the importation process in Saudi Arabia, it is crucial for businesses to choose a reliable and experienced IOR. A reputable IOR will have a deep understanding of Saudi Arabian import regulations, a strong network with customs authorities, and the expertise to manage the entire importation process efficiently.

Moreover, businesses may opt to hire a third-party logistics provider (3PL) or a customs broker to act as their IOR. These entities are well-versed in the regulatory requirements and can ensure that the importation process is handled smoothly, reducing the risk of delays and penalties.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Importer of Record in Saudi Arabia plays a critical role in ensuring the successful importation of goods into the kingdom. The IOR must adhere to the country’s complex regulatory requirements, including customs duties, certifications, and safety standards, while also ensuring that all documentation is accurate and compliant. By choosing a competent IOR, businesses can mitigate risks and ensure that their goods are imported seamlessly into Saudi Arabia.

Limited Liability Company (LLC) formation in Saudi Arabia is one of the most popular business structures for entrepreneurs and investors. This versatile entity offers liability protection, operational flexibility, and compatibility with the Kingdom’s evolving economic landscape. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur or a foreign investor, understanding the Llc Formation in Saudi Arabia process is crucial to establishing a successful business in Saudi Arabia.

Advantages of an LLC in Saudi Arabia An LLC in Saudi Arabia provides several benefits, making it a preferred choice for businesses. One of the primary advantages is the limited liability protection it offers to its shareholders, ensuring personal assets remain secure in case of business liabilities. Additionally, LLCs are suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to their simplified management and operational structure.

Additionally, the company must appoint at least one manager, who can be a shareholder or an external individual. The Articles of Association must also be prepared, outlining the LLC’s structure, purpose, and management policies.

The Registration Process The process of LLC formation involves several steps, starting with obtaining initial approval from the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), formerly SAGIA, for foreign investors. This is followed by registering the company with the Ministry of Commerce and drafting the Articles of Association. Once approved, the company must open a corporate bank account and deposit the required share capital. Additional steps include registering with the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) and obtaining the necessary licenses for the business activity. The entire process can take several weeks, depending on the nature of the business and its compliance with local regulations.

Compliance and Licensing LLCs in Saudi Arabia are required to comply with various regulations to maintain their legal standing. This includes submitting annual financial statements, adhering to labor laws, and ensuring tax compliance. Depending on the industry, specific licenses or permits may be necessary to operate legally. Engaging with legal and financial advisors can help ensure that the LLC remains compliant and avoids potential penalties or delays in its operations.

Challenges and How to Overcome Them While Llc Setup in Saudi Arabia offers many benefits, there are challenges that investors may encounter, such as navigating complex regulatory frameworks and understanding cultural nuances in business operations. Foreign investors may also need to meet stricter requirements, including higher capital thresholds and additional documentation. To overcome these challenges, partnering with experienced legal consultants or business advisory firms can streamline the process and provide valuable insights into local business practices.

LLC Formation in Saudi Arabia: A Comprehensive Guide

Saudi Arabia has emerged as a global economic hub, attracting investors from around the world. Among the various business structures available, forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is one of the most popular choices for foreign and local entrepreneurs alike. This article outlines the key steps, benefits, and legal requirements for LLC formation in Saudi Arabia.

What is an LLC in Saudi Arabia?

An LLC, or Limited Liability Company, is a business entity where the liability of its shareholders is limited to their investment in the company. This structure is particularly appealing to investors because it combines operational flexibility with a relatively straightforward setup process. LLCs in Saudi Arabia can be owned by Saudi nationals, foreign nationals, or a mix of both, depending on the nature of the business and sector.

Key Benefits of an LLC

Limited Liability Protection: Shareholders are not personally responsible for the company’s debts beyond their contributions.

Flexibility in Ownership: Foreign investors can own up to 100% of an LLC in specific industries, as per the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) regulations.

Ease of Operations: LLCs offer simpler management and fewer restrictions compared to other corporate structures.

Market Access: Establishing an LLC allows investors to access the growing Saudi market, particularly in sectors aligned with Vision 2030, such as renewable energy, technology, and tourism.

Steps to Form an LLC in Saudi Arabia

 Obtain Initial Approval

Before proceeding, you must obtain approval from SAGIA if the business involves foreign ownership. This involves submitting your investment proposal and meeting the necessary criteria for foreign investors.

 Reserve a Company Name

Choose a unique name for your LLC that complies with Saudi naming conventions. The name should reflect the nature of your business and must not conflict with existing entities.

 Draft and Notarize the Articles of Association (AOA)

The AOA outlines the company’s structure, purpose, and rules of operation. It must be notarized by the Ministry of Commerce and Investment (MOCI).

 Open a Bank Account

After drafting the AOA, open a corporate bank account in Saudi Arabia and deposit the required share capital. The minimum capital requirement varies depending on the nature of your business.

 Register with the Commercial Register

Submit your application to MOCI for commercial registration. This step officially establishes your LLC as a legal entity.

 Obtain Necessary Licenses

Depending on your business activity, additional licenses or permits may be required from relevant authorities.

 Register with Tax and Social Insurance Authorities

Finally, register your company with the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) and the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI).

Legal Considerations

Foreign Ownership: Certain sectors, such as oil and gas, have restrictions on foreign ownership. Ensure compliance with the Foreign Investment Act.

Saudization Requirements: Companies must comply with Saudization laws, which require hiring a certain percentage of Saudi nationals.

 

Setting up an Llc Setup in Saudi Arabia is a strategic move for investors aiming to tap into one of the Middle East's most dynamic markets. While the process may involve navigating regulatory complexities, the benefits of operating in the Kingdom are significant.
