🇱🇧 年度合规 — Lebanon

Planning cash flows through the Lebanese banking system

Fix: Do not rely on Lebanese banks for international transfers or significant operational cash flows. If you need a Lebanese entity, keep capital requirements minimal and manage treasury through a non-Lebanese banking jurisdiction.

Assuming the offshore company regime functions as it did pre-2019

Fix: The 1983 Offshore Law is still on the books and technically available, but the banking collapse means the practical benefits (tax-free holding, dividend flows) are severely impaired. Evaluate whether a UAE or Bahrain holding structure achieves the same goal with functional banking.

Denominating contracts or assets in Lebanese Pounds

Fix: The LBP has lost over 95% of its value. Any commercial arrangement should be denominated in USD, EUR, or another stable currency. Even if local regulations reference LBP amounts, negotiate real-value protections into your agreements.
