Can you believe it! Lebanon and Finland are going to have something in common. The land of a thousand lakes which is ranked within the top ten countries in the Global Peace Index and the Corruption Perception Index, as well as within the top 15 in the UN’s Human Development Index and has just passed a law making broadband Internet a legal right will stand alongside Lebanon as the only two countries in the world to offer: Online Tax Free Shopping!
Global Blue, the inventor of online tax free shopping, plans to implement its technology in the Lebanese market in August 2010.

The digital tax free shopping technology has only been implemented in Finland so far, making Lebanon a leader in this domain, the company said.
The thought of it gives me goosebumps. It gives me great relief to know that while I wait 15 minutes for my shopping cart to load, I will not be taxed for my purchases.
What? I don’t get it..I thought the government was trying to limit online businesses..and now they offer tax free shopping? Can someone say, temperamental? Now the Finnish, they’ve got it going on..always on the forefront of progress and development.. As usual, thanks for the information!
You’re most welcome. The government operates on a whim – depends what the ministers had (or smoked) for breakfast. They come up with these stupid, disconnected ideas of which about 1% ever materialize.
