As you may know, FTA offered to waive off the penalty for late Corp Tax registration provided one files their Corp Tax within 7 months of their 1st Corp tax period end.
Since we fall into that category, I wanted to know from the professionals in the group if there are others who also got the penalty successfully waived off by submitting the return.
Also are there any other extra steps that need to be taken apart from filing the return, like filing a reconsideration request or anything else ?

It's official.

Yours truly, Anthony Gonsalvez has got it too. I knew it was only a matter of time once my colleagues got it, no matter what the precautions. Cold & Flu is a b and remains dormant for a while before it hits you like a freight train.

I was completely fine until yesterday afternoon. My voice felt heavier like I was channeling Mr. Amitabh Bachhan through me or something. Started getting this tingling feeling in my throat and starting coughing a bit in the night.

Come morning & feel weak as hell. Cold air doesn't feel great which is signaling that I may have fever. Although, body doesn't feel hot. & Yeah, dry cough and splitting headache along with blocked nose.

Ate a Pandol and took some cough syrup at lunch. Sweated like a pig about to be slaughtered but the weakness in my body is gone for now. Headache & blocked nose remains

My question to those who said they faced something similar :

Do i go to the doc. or just tough it out with OTC medication ? FYI, I hate medicines and don't want to take antibiotics for no reason if it's a viral thing.

Advice needed.

About 2 weeks ago, my manager got fever out of nowhere and started coughing (dry cough) constantly. OTC medicine didn't work and he had to see a Doc. & get prescription antibiotics and cough syrup.
Fast forward to today, a few of my colleagues called in sick with similar symptoms. At first I thought it was a joke, but turns out it's same type of symptoms although they were mostly fine yesterday.
I remember a client postponed a meeting last week also mentioning a case of flu.
Is this a weather thing or something else ?

My friend had a document from the bank arrive for him through EMX but was refused delivery due to his Emirates ID being expired.
For context, his ID expired 2 weeks ago & is in process of renewal. Now, the bank knows about Id expiry due to periodic kyc & still issues this document to be sent to him based on a request made couple of days ago. EMX is just a delivery middleman. Yet they refuse handing over what the sender sent to the correct recipient with ID albeit expired & despite other proof (Passport/Driver's License) being readily made available.

Anyone else ever have to face a similar issue ?

How many of you, don't drink alcohol but still visited a bar on their 21st birthday ?

I wanted to visit to experience what the fuss is all about, & you don't get to be 21 years old again in life. Ended up trying a can of beer. Hated the taste & didn't get high whatsoever.
