Establishment:

A place in which one, similar, or integrated economic activity is practiced (and services are included among the economic activities, such as places of worship, entertainment, etc ). It belongs to one owner, and the owner may be an individual or a company, whether the individual is a natural or legal person.

The following is an explanation of the definition of the establishment, with some examples being listed for clarification:

(1) Availability of the place element :

it takes two forms:

A - It should be a fixed place in which the economic activity is practiced accordingly, the following shall not be included in the establishment:

Street vendors - Water transport vehicles, safari vehicles, and so on . As for the each of them is considered an establishment.

B- It should be one place.

In this regard, multiple places that are located in one architectural building and in which one economic activity is practiced are considered one establishment. As long as these places are owned by a single holder. Here are some examples:

- with each other), so these places are considered one facility.

- If several buildings are surrounded by a wall and all of them belong to one owner and one activity is practiced, then these buildings are considered as one establishment.

- But if the single holder practices work in one economic activity in several places located in several architectural buildings, whether in one or more population centers, then in application of the element of unifying the place, then each of these places is considered a self-contained establishment.

(2) Availability of a dependency element for a single holder

Here are some examples:

A- If it were assumed that there was a garage divided into sections (a section for painting, a section for plumbing, etc.), then each section was rented to a different person, then each section would be considered a self-contained establishment due to the difference in ownership. But if this garage was rented in its divisions to one person, the garage would become a single facility.

B- The buffet or canteen located inside its establishment, such as a ministry or administration. Etc. If it is managed or invested by the Ministry or the Department, it is not considered an independent establishment, but if it is managed or invested by a holder from outside the Ministry or the Department, then in this case it is considered a self-contained establishment. This is because the holder differs from the side where this buffet or the two channels are located.

C- The cooperative society located in the building of one of the ministries or departments. etc., and took the legal form of cooperative societies, as they are considered a stand-alone establishment because the owner differs from the entity in which this association is located.

(3) Availability of the economic activity element - this element takes two forms:

A - That this economic activity is intended for public service to others.

Here are some examples:

- If a person takes a shop attached to a house park his/her car overnight then this shop is not considered an establishment, but if this shop is converted into a garage that performs public services for others, then in this case it is considered an establishment.

- If a person has a group of buildings and a store is attached to one of them, it is designated as an office for real estate services related to the buildings of this person, such as collecting rents or the like.

This shop is not considered an establishment, but if this office is transformed into real estate services for others, it is considered an establishment. Independent stores , independent offices and independent auxiliary units located in places other than the location of their affiliated establishments although their services are limited to those parent establishments, are considered self-contained establishments, as the establishments served by these branches perform a public service for others.

- Adding that the fact that the place is limited to providing services to a specific category of citizens does not contradict with being an establishment like clubs whose services are limited to its members only.

B - That this economic activity be one.

Here are some applications:

- If the one owner has several places in which he/she practices different economic activities in one architectural building, each of them is considered a self-contained establishment. But if the possessor engages in more than one economic activity in one place, such as a shop selling ready-made clothes, and exploits a part of it to repair watches, for example, then it shall be dealt with as follows:

1- If it is possible to identify the workers in each activity separately, then each activity is considered an independent establishment.

2- If it is not possible to identify the workers in each activity, the two activities are considered as one establishment whose activity is the predominant economic activity, and this is an exception to the rule of unifying economic activity.
