20 years ago I was in Milan for the first time and wanted to see the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci „The Last Supper“. I’m a great admirer of Leonardo. Then and in the following years it was not possible to see the painting, because it was in poor condition and dampness threatened to cause it further damage. I had to be satisfied with reproductions, but the desire to see the original has stayed with me.

Luxembourg – VAT of 17% due on activity performed by directors as from 1 of January 2017
The Circular 781 was published by the Tax Authorities week ago. The Circular confirms that directors’ services will be taxable in Luxembourg in case when:
The director is established in Luxembourg and supplies services to companies established in Luxembourg and / or to non-VAT taxable companies established outside Luxembourg;
The director is established abroad and supplies services to VAT taxable companies established in Luxembourg, regardless of the VAT obligations of the director in his country of establishment, in which case VAT has to be self assessed in Luxembourg by the recipients of the services under the reverse charge mechanism.

Wie mich die Polizei in die Knie zwang
Ende September. Gemäss Wettervorhersage soll es einer der prachtvollen Herbsttage sein, die einen gewöhnlichen Sonntag zu einem perfekten Tag machen. Vorläufig war davon nicht viel zu spüren. Die Nebel war dicklich weiss und versperrte die Sicht ganz. Dazu kam die relativ tiefe Temperatur. Offensichtlich musste der Tag sich erst beweisen. Ich war aber wild entschlossen im See zu stechen und der Nebel konnte mich davon nicht abhalten.Read More »
How the police brought me to my knees
End September. According to the weather forecast it is going to be one those glorious autumn days, which transform a normal Sunday into a perfect day. For the time being there was no sign of this. The mist was a thick white and blocked the view completely. Added to that the temperature was relatively low. Clearly the day still had to prove itself. But I was hell-bent on taking to the water and the mist was not going to stop me.Read More »

Der letzte Badetag
Die Nachrichten verkündeten, dass das herrliche Sommer bald zu Ende gehe. Es ist Mitte September, eigentlich ist es nicht wirklich überraschend. Aber durch die Nachricht wurde mir klar, dass ich diesen Mittwoch nicht von 7 bis 19 arbeiten, dann schnell nach Hause fahren, Abendessen kochen und mit meinem Kleinen diskutieren werde. Read More »
The last swim
The news announced that the beautiful summer is coming to an end. It is mid-September, so it‘s not really surprising. But the news made it clear to me that this Wednesday I won’t be working from 7.00 am to 7.00 pm, and then drive home quickly, cook the evening meal and have a discussion with my youngest. No, on Wednesday, if its 28 degrees outside, at 6.00 pm I’ll drive to the Seebad and have a final swim in the lake.Read More »
Wie finde ich die richtigen Angestellten
Es gibt eine Theorie, die besagt, dass wen man ein Angestellte sucht und man es richtig macht, dann schaltet man nur eine Anzeige und bekommt dann eine einzige Antwort von genau der richtigen Person.
Diese Theorie suggeriert, dass die Mehrheit der Leute, die suchen unqualifizierte Ignoranten sind. Denn das oben beschriebene, passiert so gut wie nie.Read More »
How do I find the right employees
There is a theory, which states that if you are looking for an employee and you do it properly, then you place only one advertisement and receive only one response from exactly the right person.
This theory suggests that the majority of people searching are unqualified ignoramuses. Because what is described above scarcely ever happens.
