It is worth mentioning that according to the official, this proposal was presented by the mayor himself, Gerardo Vargas Landeros to the Cabildo after exposing the past due portfolio that the Board has, which, without saying figures, acknowledged that it is worrying.
"We did an analysis of the situation of the overdue portfolio within Japama and we saw a way in which the economy of the municipality, the citizens, can be supported and that this also solves a little the financial problems that we have. within Japama and that we have greater liquidity ", he specified.

Barcelona mulls restrictions as Spain fights new virus clusters
By Joan Faus
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona may bring back some restrictions on daily life after the number of coronavirus cases tripled in a week, its mayor said on Wednesday, as around 160,000 people in another part of Catalonia went back under lockdown to stem a new surge in cases.
People wearing protective masks walk along the Barceloneta beach after Catalonia's regional authorities decided to make mandatory the use of face masks in public at all times, during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in Barcelona, Spain July 9, 2020. REUTERS/Albert Gea
Just weeks after a nationwide lockdown was lifted and life returned largely to normal as infection rates dropped, Spain's second-most populous region reported on Tuesday three deaths and 938 new coronavirus cases.
Some 63% of those new cases were detected in Barcelona and its surroundings, stirring fears the regional capital and popular tourist destination might again become an epicentre of the virus.
"What worries us the most would be to lose control of infections," Mayor Ada Colau told Ser Catalunya radio.
She cited informal gatherings without proper protection as the main cause. There are 29 coronavirus outbreaks in Spain's second largest city, officials said.
"We are not talking about total confinement as in previous months, but I think some measures have to be taken more widely," Colau said. She did not say what activities might be restricted, adding this would be discussed in the next two days.
The wearing of masks indoors and outdoors in public is already mandatory in Catalonia.
REGIONAL TENSIONS
Tourism-dependent Spain, one of Europe's hardest-hit countries with more than 28,000 deaths from the pandemic, emerged from a strict national lockdown on June 21. Since then, more than 170 clusters have sprung up, prompting regional authorities to impose a patchwork of local restrictions, confusing locals and angering businesses.
Tensions have been particularly high in Catalonia.
The wealthy northeastern region of 7.5 million people is seeing the biggest number of new cases and its acrimonious push for independence in recent years has kept relations strained between its separatist leaders and the central government in Madrid.
Just as a judge approved, after an initial rejection, the regional government's stay-at-home order for some 160,000 residents of the Lleida area, about 180 km (110 miles) west of Barcelona, tensions rose over how to handle an increase in cases in Barcelona suburb L'Hospitalet, home to around 260,000 people.
Another judge struck down overnight a restriction on gatherings of more than 10 people in three L'Hospitalet neighbourhoods, but the Catalan government said it would appeal against the ruling and urged people to stay home.
While Catalonia is the first region to reimpose a lockdown, parts of Galicia in the northwest have been sealed off to visitors, a Basque town imposed a curfew to tackle their own outbreaks, and in the southern Andalusia region, authorities made masks compulsory even on the beach or at swimming pools.
"It is mandatory to wear a mask where it involves any type of movement other than being in the water or on the corresponding sunbathing area," said lifeguard Aida Escolante, who oversees a pool in the town of Cueva del Becerro.
A survey by CIS pollster showed on Wednesday found that more than 62% of Spaniards were in favour of stricter measures to combat outbreaks when needed.

A coordinated network of the "Georgian Idea" party on Facebook
ფოტო: კადრი ფეისბუქ გვერდზე "ქართული იდეა 44 - ერთიანი და ზნეობრივი საქართველოსთვის - qartuliidea.ge" გამოქვეყნებული ვიდეოდან
As the 2021 local elections approach, a network of Facebook pages discrediting opposition and creating false and artificial support was activated. This network is linked to the far-right political party – "Georgian Idea". To provoke political polarization and aggression, this network widely promulgates posts of sharply homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic and aggressive content. In order to influence the subscribers' opinions, the pages systematically manipulate the religious and nationalist sentiments of the society. Campaigns waged with manipulating of values, have so far been exposed by ISFED on social media. In this case, "Georgian Idea" uses similar tactics to launch a Facebook campaign, which often uses defamatory and / or supportive messages from the clergy.
The coordinated network of "Georgian Idea" consists of 11 pages, five of which are anonymous, and the rest ones openly support the party. The FB pages: "Liberalism Kills", "Adolescent", "Political Footprints", "My Lord, your are above all us" and "Georgian Page" pages act as if they were pages covering religious, nationalist or political events in general. However, they dishonestly use the platform's capabilities and in a coordinated manner, they distribute materials published on the pages openly supporting the party. The tactic of this network is the same - at the first stage, the leaders of the "Georgian Idea" launch the live videos via personal or official party pages. Then, in order to increase the number of video views, anonymous pages share the above-mentioned videos in the same time period. In some cases, the campaign includes sponsored posts created by anonymous pages to disguise the identity of the actual disseminator of defamatory and supportive narratives.
According to the data analyzed by CrowdTangle, since the creation of pages to June 7, the total interaction of the coordinated network pages of "Georgian Idea" is 3.83 million and in total, these pages have as many as 216,191 subscribers.

Campaign by pages managed by "Georgian Idea"
Rati Kavelashvili seems to be head of the network. He is a server of the Chiatura and Sachkhere dioceses under the Archpriest Tadeoz Saralidze, who received a church sentence from the Patriarchate for his hate speech against children. It is worth noting that in 2020, Tadeoz Saralidze participated in the election campaign of the "Georgian Idea" party and urged the parishioners to support the party in the elections.
Rati Kavelashvili runs the FB group "My Lord, you are above us all" and at least two pages - "My Lord, you are above us all" and "Georgian page". "My Lord, you are above us all" is an anonymous page of religious content. The page description says: "Here you will find: icons, prayers, videos and various news." In fact, the page publishes religious materials to attract subscribers and gain the trust of users, and then provides a wide audience with anti-liberal and violent narratives in support of the "Georgian idea." It is worth noting that in September 2020, the leaders of the "Georgian Idea" used this page for Facebook live videos.

In the group operating under the same name (Lord you are above us all), Kavelashvili shares live videos of the leaders of the "Georgian Idea", TV programs of "Alt-Info" (whose network has been removed by Facebook), discrediting posts of the civil sector and the Sunday sermons of the clergy. The group is also campaigning in support of the Reverend Spiridon, who kept the Ombudsman from entering the Ninotsminda boarding school, where alleged cases of child abuse were reported. Part of society protested this fact, whereas the "Georgian Idea" launched a campaign to discredit the Public Defender (Ombudsman). According to the party, the Public Defender wants "to introduce debauchery in the boarding house." In this regard, the group "My Lord, your are above us all" and page of the "Georgian Idea" began to disseminate defamatory materials of the Public Defender. Content shared for this purpose include posts of Gia Gachechiladze's "Ai Ia" movement, the TV program "Ark of the Unknown" and anti-liberal shows of the pro-Government media "POSTV".
Source: Facebook group 'My Lord, you are above us all
Admins and Moderators: Georgia Page, Rati Kavelashvili, My Lord, you are above us all; Georgian Page
FB page the "Georgian Idea" shares the same tactic of acting in a disguised manner. The description of the page says: "Everything Georgian, Georgian news, Georgian songs, Georgian music, Georgian verses" – and neither the title nor the primary information of the page indicates it operates in support of the political party. Number of posts shared also call on people to join Levan Vasadze's social and political movement "ERI" (The Nation). The page also indicates Rati Kavelashvili's YouTube channel, which, in addition to Sunday Sermons, publishes conspiratorial, and discrediting videos of opponents and in support of the "Georgian idea." Page often manipulates the case of Davit Gareji and disseminates xenophobic statements and labels 'liberals' as anti-national elements because of their views on Davit Gareji case.

Text on the image: ''become a supporter''
The FB pages "Adolscent", "Political Footprints", and "Liberalism Kills" operate in secrecy and their main activity includes sharing FB live videos of the "Georgian Idea" leader – Mr. Ramin Abesadze. Shortly after the start of live broadcasts, his videos are published on the pages in the same time period, so it is likely that they are run by Ramin Abesadze himself.
Another page among the coordinated network runs by the name of the non-governmental organization founded by Guram Palavandishvili - The Society for the Protection of Children's Rights. However, the materials distributed and sponsored here serve to support the activities of the "Georgian Idea". The information on the page points to the religious website ZNEOBA.GE, which is currently waging a homophobic campaign against the "March of Dignity" scheduled for July.
All other pages ("Georgian Idea - qartuliidea.ge", "Ramin Abesadze • Ramin Abesadze", "Social and Political Movement - Georgian Idea", "With Palavandishvili" and "Georgian Idea for United and Moral Georgia") are openly operated on behalf of the party. Materials published by those pages are distributed by the anonymous pages to reach the wider audience, using the religious and nationalist values to share specific messages.
Party leaders openly state as being against Sodomy, casinos, drug addiction and liberalism. The pages often spread conspiracies about "world governance" and vaccines against the COVID-19. At the same time, the pages form an idea that state is soon going to take away children from all poor families by virtue of the juvenile laws, and the "Georgian Idea" will take over "children's protection". In connection with the events taking place in the Ninotsminda boarding house, the "Georgian Idea" demanded resignation of the Public Defender and expressed support for the governor of the boarding house - Reverend Spiridon. The party is closely connected with Levan Vasadze's political movement "ERI". Coordinated network of pages frequently calls on society to join Levan Vasadze's movement. From time to time, the pages share materials by "Alt-Info", which was removed by Facebook.
A coordinated, inauthentic behavior of pages
One of the manifestations of coordinated behavior on social media is the publication of an identical message across multiple pages at short intervals. The goal of this method is to reach wider audience; this artificially influences the rapid and systematic formation of the desired political discourse in society. On the pages of the "Georgian Idea", live videos are often published one after another at very short intervals, which testifies their coordinated behavior. It should be noted that 43% of published posts are in the form of photos, the interaction of which (the sum of likes, comments, reposts and emotions) is half of the total interaction. However, in the case of live videos, the average level of engagement with the post is much higher.
Source: CrowdTangle
Organized coordinated behavior is mostly applied when the party needs to mobilize society in a short manner. A good example of coordinated inauthentic behavior aimed at dividing society is the case when one of the party leaders, Ramin Abesadze, urged audience to gather in front of the State Chancellery to protect Ninotsminda boarding house from propaganda of vileness and debauchery.
It was at that time when civil activists held a peaceful rally in front of the building of the State Chancellery, demanding to let the Public Defender into the boarding house. "We have to try to disrupt it, and they will not be able to hold this rally. These people must be pulled out their hair, " – said Ramin Abesadze in his live video.
His furious messages were coordinately spread on the pages within minutes. Among the posts amplifiers were anonymous pages: "My Lord, your are above us all, "Adolscent", "Liberalism kills", "Society for the Protection of Children's Rights." As a result, the coincidence of peaceful and violent rallies escalated into conflict and the police arrested Ramin Abesadze and three other citizens.

The network's coordinated behavior is also visible for spreading Guram and Alexander Palavandishvili's posts. In some cases, the personal profile of Guram Palavandishvili is also an amplifier or primary source of the publication. "Georgian Page" is also among amplifiers.

Sponsored, discrediting campaign by the name of Church
In order to reach the wider audience, the 'Georgian Idea' party frequently uses Facebook sponsored posts. Posts are sponsored mainly by ქართული იდეა - qartuliidea.ge and The Society for the Protection of Children's Rights".

Sponsored posts are mainly related to these topics:
The inauthentic campaigns organized by "Georgian Idea" are not limited to party support and often spread discrediting content as well. Recently, one of the campaigns to discredit the Defenders of the Rioni Valley has been launched, where Rev.Spyridon, associated with the party, played a key role. He is a high-ranking clergyman and a member of the Synod, which is a congregation of the high-ranking clergy.
Protests against the construction of the Namakhvani HPP intensified after Enka began preparatory work for the construction of a large-scale hydroelectric power plant in the Rioni Valley. For a year and a half, activists have been protesting against the terms of the contract, demanding that construction be halted, research results made public, permits revoked and an investigation into seismic risks be conducted. A large protest moved from the Rioni Valley to Tbilisi on 23 May. The 'Georgian Idea' party leaders joined the protest. Although, one of the leader of the party Mr. Aleksandre Palavandishvili, together with other activists, attacked civil activist and demanded the removal of LGBT armband. Civil activist with the armband has later been expelled from protest by 'Georgian Idea' activists.
The campaign to discredit activists of the Namakhvan HPP began after a verbal confrontation between Palavandishvili and Maka Suladze, the latter is one of the leaders of the protests at the Namakhvan HPP. During the confrontation, Maka Suladze urged them to stop dividing protesters according to LGBT symbols. After the confrontation, the pages of the "Georgian Idea" stopped publishing political posts for two days.
A short silence was broken by the video of the Reverend Spiridon, published on page run by Rati Kavelashvili - 'My Lord, your are above us all'. In the video, the Reverend Spiridon calls for the "Defenders of the Rioni Valley" to repent the "sins of Sodom and Gomorrah." The video was sponsored on the page. By June 7, the video has 53,000 views and up to 6,000 reactions. Within 3 minutes after publishing, the video was shared by three anonymous pages. The post was also shared in the group 'My Lord, your are above us all'. and personal profiles of 'Georgian Idea' leaders.
Campaign launched on behalf of the Reverend Spiridon, is not accidental - it was probably planned and organized in advance. The status of the clergy is authoritative for the religious part of society, and the messages spread by them are very effective in influencing public opinion.

Pages: My lord, you are above us all; The Society for the Protection of Children's Rights; Political footprint; Liberalism Kills; Ramin Abesadze;
The discrediting campaign against the opponents of Namakhvani HPP was not limited to this. According to the Facebook Ad Library, Guram Palavandishvili's NGO – 'Society for Children's Rights Protection', spent between $ 400 and $ 500 to advertise two defamatory posts against the Keepers of the Rioni Valley. The potential audience for these two ads is over 2 million Facebook users. "In order to win the hearts of liberals and LGBT activists, the protest of the Rioni Valley Keepers disentangled itself from the cross," we read in Guram and Alexander Palavandishvilis' statement. Sponsoring of these statements costed $ 300 to $ 399 and were declared by the name of Levan Chkhaidze.
Sponsored posts by 'Society for Children's Rights Protection', targeting to discredit 'Rioni Valley Defenders'
Other campaigns sponsored by 'The Society for Children's Rights Protection' include Guram Kartvelishvili's defamatory post with an advertising budget of $ 100, a supporting campaign for far-conservative national media outlet "Alt Info" with a budget of $ 500-600, and campaigns to support the Reverend Spiridon and Ninotsminda Boarding School with a budget of $600.
The coordinated campaign of the "Georgian Idea" on Facebook acts disguised as religious values and is run by anonymous pages, resulting in the provocation of aggression and public controversy. Facebook policy prohibits unauthorized coordinated behavior on the platform. The shared content narrative itself may not violate social network's policies, but covert actions are enough to misleading people. Hate speech, incitement to aggression, the spread of conspiracies and the anonymous campaign waged by "Georgian Idea" is damageable to fair, equal electoral environment and the development of pluralistic democracy and a tolerant society.

Digitimes Research provides a quarterly tracking service that updates subscribers on the latest shipment data and technology trends of the server market. In addition to four quarterly reports, Digitimes Research supplies an annual-based report covering the shipment forecast for the next five years.
The Digitimes Research Server Tracker is an annual service based on four quarterly reports and one annual-based forecast report covering the next five years offered in early-fourth quarter every year. Each of the report provides shipment data for the previous five quarters (less than five if the service has not tracked the figures for over five quarters yet) and a forecast for the current quarter. In the fourth quarter of each year, the report also provides breakdowns of annual shipment trends in the areas of analysis. The service also comes with complimentary access to Digitimes' daily news website.


Programmers know it, management reject it: code is a liability, not an asset.
Code is something you have to pay to maintain, to debug, to document and keep up to date.
But this is doubly true of data. The largely unfulfilled promises of big data have lured businesses into storing ever-growing quantities of data -- data that has to be stored and protected and backed up. Data that, when it leaks, incurs titanic potential liability to the firm.
On the proverbial business end of a big data operation, different viewpoints appear. As with code, more data makes things more difficult. When the amount of data gets truly big, so do the problems in managing it all. IDC estimates that big data companies will sell $125 billion worth of solutions to those problems in 2015 alone. These direct costs are huge, but they are dwarfed by inherent risks in storing unbound amounts of private user data.
Regulatory compliance is a factor that big corporations, publishers among them, may be uniquely suited to tackle, but the business risks of storing data are manifold. Nobody wants to be the next Ashley Madison, but the even bigger risk is breaking the trust of users in more mundane ways.

Lin Dan proved a point or two with his performance in Malaysia.
TEXT BY DEV SUKUMAR | BADMINTONPHOTO
By now, nothing that Lin Dan does should have been cause for surprise. So often has he defied conventional logic and the limits that shackle lesser mortals.
The champion outfoxed his challengers.
And yet, even by the measure of what he has done in previous years, his Malaysia Open 2019 performance last week caused fans to sit up and take notice.
He had gone over a year without making the final of a top-tier event. Since last year's Japan Open in September, he had never even crossed the second round of a top-tier event. Eight tournaments, just four matches won.
Thus, it ran counter to recent form when Lin clawed his way back from near-certain defeat – he trailed 12-19 in the second game after losing the first – against Chou Tien Chen in the first round in Malaysia. Having staged the escape act, the 2017 champion was unusually animated at winning the opening round. It was perhaps the little push he needed to script what was to follow.
Suppanyu Avihingsanon and Kanta Tsuneyama proved no match for his wiles. Shi Yuqi in the semifinals was expected to be a different proposition, for the younger man had won their last four matches.
It was a different Lin Dan that turned up on the day. If in recent years he had switched to a sedate style based on control and placement, in Malaysia it was a more classic version – lightning flashes of attack; electric movement; masterly netplay. There was more zip in his smashes, more fluidity in following up attacks; greater authority in dictating terms. Neither Shi in the semifinals nor Chen Long in the final, despite their younger legs, could find the resources to counter his moves.
Essentially, what he did during the course of the week in Malaysia was to state that he is in contention to qualify for Tokyo 2020. As the qualifying period for the Tokyo Olympics draws close, the swagger is back – he will be no pushover in the Race to Tokyo. Only two qualifiers per category from each member association can make it to the Olympics, and Chen Long and Shi Yuqi will know they have a battle on their hands.
Lin himself acknowledged that he had been under a lot of pressure following sub-par performances for a year.
The swagger is back.
"My performances last year were not ideal. As a result I was under a lot of pressure and I had doubts about myself. I have been playing for so many years. Now that I'm at the tail end of my career, I hope everyone can understand that it's normal that my form fluctuates," Lin said.
"I feel that I played well in this Malaysia Open because I was very determined, in good form and hungry for victory. I didn't play at an exceptionally high level in this tournament, all I did was stick to my strategy and play to my strengths."
His latest exploits have bowled over his competitors, most of whom are a decade younger and grew up watching him play.
"For me it's Lin Dan, I admire him for the way he keeps himself, the way he plays, the way he's motivated," said Kidambi Srikanth.
His compatriot Pusarla V Sindhu: "It's the same with me, he's achieved a lot, he's a legend."
As for fellow left-hander Kento Momota: "It's the whole approach. I can learn a lot from his choice of shots and I try to pick up those ideas."
Lin's performance has surprised not just fans and fellow-players, but also veterans of the game. Chinese coach Zhang Jun was all admiration: "I couldn't imagine it before the Malaysia Open. His physical condition and his pace and his control have been much greater than in the recent past."
A member of the Chinese team summed it up after watching his first round win: "You just have to hand it to him. He's got such a strong heart."
The coming months will tell if Lin manages to stay on top of his game. But if the Malaysia Open triumph proved one thing, it was this – that a man with ability and a stout heart can never be counted out, no matter what recent form suggests.

Profit Tax in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Guide
Hong Kong : Taxation by Entity Type
Hong Kong maintains a status as one of the most business friendly locations in the world, due in no small part to its corporate taxation regime. Corporate tax, also known as profit tax, is only levied on income sourced within Hong Kong. This makes Hong Kong a very attractive destination for offshore companies. Additionally, the tax code for businesses is straightforward and requirements are limited relative to other advanced economies.
Hong Kong is a single tier corporate tax jurisdiction as profits are taxed only once. The corporate tax levied on profits is the final tax and, as such, there is no tax on dividends (neither paid, credited, or distributed to shareholders) derived from profits that have already been taxed.
Profit Tax for Corporations Incorporated entities pay a flat tax rate of 16.5% on assessable profits.
Profit Tax for Unincorporated Businesses Unincorporated businesses (such as sole-proprietorships) pay 15% on assessable profits.
Taxation of Non-resident Entertainers and Sportsmen Non-resident entertainers and sportsman pay 15% on profits. For performances given through a corporate agent, the tax rate is 16.5%.
Hong Kong and Territorial Source Principle of Taxation
Hong Kong follows the territorial source principle of taxation, meaning that only profits sourced in Hong Kong are taxable.
Determining the Source of Profits Not one method of determining the source of profits can be universally applied. This depends on the nature of the profits and the operations that generate them. To prevent unlawful reductions in taxable income, Hong Kong authorities rely on a number of official principles in determining the source of profits:
The Operations Test This approach simply involves determining the location of the operations that leads to profits. Under this principle, if the relevant operations were based in Hong Kong, any profits earned would be subject to profit tax.
Incidental Activities The investigator must clarify which activities are relevant and which are not. Incidental and antecedent activities should be treated as distinct from profit producing transactions.
Location of Decision-Making The investigator may take into account the location in which decision-making governing profit-generating operations takes place. This is treated as only one of multiple relevant factors and is rarely the determining factor.
Profit Tax in Hong Kong : Industry-Specific Considerations
Determining the source of profits for trading companies depends on where contracts are legally executed and negotiated, and where the actual terms are executed. According to general practice, the profits are assessable in Hong Kong when the purchase and sale are effected in Hong Kong. When the customer is a Hong Kong business (including the Hong Kong buying office of an overseas customer), the sale contract will usually be taken as having been effected in Hong Kong and, therefore, profits are to be considered subject to profit tax. If the purchase and sale contracts do not require travelling outside of Hong Kong in order to be effected (even if carried out in Hong Kong by use of IT and electronic communications) the contracts will likely be considered as having been effected in Hong Kong.
For profits derived from the manufacturing of goods, authorities will usually consider the location of manufacturing to be the source location of profits. Therefore, profits based on the sale of goods manufactured in Hong Kong (assuming the sale is conducted by the same entity that sells it) will be considered subject to profit tax. Note that only the percentage of value-added in Hong Kong will be taxed. The sale location for a manufacturing company is usually not a relevant factor in determining the source location of profits.
In determining the source of rental income, the location of the property is the most relevant (also known as the situs test). For example, if a real estate company is managed in Hong Kong, but the majority of their properties are located in Southeast Asia, profits from rental income are unlikely to be taxable.
The location of the performance of the services will be considered the source location. However, determining the source of profits can often become much more complex with services companies operating internationally. For example, if an advisory firm's clients are located outside of Hong Kong and only some of the work is performed at the client's site, it less clear how much of the income in considered Hong Kong sourced. As there is no one-size-fits-all solution, it is best to seek the assistance of a Hong Kong Certified CPA to determine total taxable profits.
Non-taxable Income
Other than profits sourced oversees, there are a number of other income categories considered non-taxable.
Dividends Due to the single-tier taxation system, dividends are non-taxable.
Exchange Reserve Certificates Interest earned from Exchange Reserve Certificates is non-taxable.
Select Financial Instruments Earning from long term debt instruments, Hong Kong dollar-denominated debt instrument for a multilateral institution, bonds issued under the Loans Ordinance, or from Exchange Fund debt instrument are non-taxable.
Basis Period
The basis period is the year ending March 31st.
Anti-Avoidance Rules
The Internal Revenue Ordinance states that any misleading transactions intended to reduce the amount of payable tax constitutes an offence subject to fines and penalties.
The territorial system of taxation ensures that residence rarely suffers from double taxation. Hong Kong allows for a deduction of foreign tax paid on turnover basis for income, which is also subject to Hong Kong profit tax. Hong Kong, nonetheless, maintains an extensive network of Double Taxation Treaties. Such agreements promote investment as they give certainty to investors on the taxing rights of contracting parties and enable accurate assessment of potential tax liabilities of prospective investments.
Profit Tax in Hong Kong : Filing Requirements
The Inland Revenue Department issues profit tax returns on April 1st, immediately following the end of the year of assessment. The tax return should be filed within one month of the date of receipt. The profit tax return must include the following:
The tax return form issued by the Inland Revenue Department
Official form containing tax and financial data
Official copies of report of audited accounts and balance sheet
Report of the computation of assessable profits
New Businesses: Newly registered businesses will receive their first profit tax return 18 months after the date of incorporation.
