Accounting Rules

Tax Year
The fiscal year begins on 1 January and ends on 31 December of the same year. Exceptions are allowed, such as when a parent company has a special fiscal year.
Accounting Standards
Lebanon has adopted the IFRS standards in accordance with Decree No.1/6258, dated 21 August 1996, over a three-year period. Nonetheless, the Law No. 27 (1980) still requires all commercial entities (except for banks) to follow a unified chart of accounts, prompting companies to file both in accordance with IAS and the accounting and reporting requirements in Law No. 27
