You mean like Apple taking the name of a primeur business ?

> They handle taxes in all sorts of countries in different states.

And they handle it so poorly that you have to write them to get a proper invoice in order to recover your VAT.

If your customer buy your application through the app store, they ask "you" an invoice with VAT, and you have to tell them to contact Apple, that's so unprofessional. For a 30% cut, they could clearly put a download link or include a PDF in the sent email.

All right, in fact, I think the law you explained is even fair and needed to prosecute some "Joint Criminal Enterprise". But in this specific case, how could it be "incorrectly" argued, "absolutely wrong" and not dismissed by a judge. I mean, how can you trust the justice if only the poor chap is the one going to jail. Yeah, I'm naive, I know.

So this guy was jailed because he coded an advertising platform and a video hosting service. I know Mega was on a thin shady line, but what has he done wrong to be jailed in USA ?

For me, it's all about the details, and I just can't come back to Firefox for silly reasons, even if I appreciate their stance on privacy.

The tabs shape is repulsing me, I know that's a strong feeling and I can't explain it. The disymetrical back and forward buttons bothers me as well. I can't find how to whitelist domains accepting cookies in Firefox. Switching profiles is much easier with chrome. I'm used to chrome developper tools.

I don't like neither safari neither MS edge.

If it wasn't for the missing onenote extension, maybe I'd be using opera. Again, all about the details.

I'm not sure as there's no description, so I'll ask. That's the desktop version, not the server one ?

Great. You just inspired another european privacy law where website will be forced to ask you to read the terms before processing reading. What it will achieve is users will be annoyed and install a termblock extension to their browser, I mean kind of defensive software.

As the primary goal is to listen to the music, I do really appreciate the fact that the webpage stops its graphics animations when it loses the focus.

It is great to improve my focus as I am not disturbed by my waving cpu meter.

Great work, love it.

In France, it depends where you live, in some area people do it up to 4-5 times. It can be quite disturbing, even for a french :)

Flash is essential for harmony of your twosome life if you share your computer with your girlfriend who plays facebook games.

As far as I understand the issue, I think that's only true as domestic sales are concerned. Like you, UK to UK. But if you are from another european country, even under your own country thresholds, you have to apply UK sales tax if the UK customer is not VAT registered.

@Mithaldu

I think, we reached the end of the thread, I can't reply to you. So, sorry for the messed reply.

I'd like to ask more questions. Are your french customers corporates or individuals ? If corporate, do they have a VAT intra-community number, do you have one ? Are you billing VAT in Germany ? As I'm french, could you give me this not stating they are without VAT due to specific french laws.

Beware, I don't know if the situation is the same in germany, but in France you have no recourse if your accountant is wrong, the burden is on you.

I'm afraid many people think "they don't even need to think about it", but are actually wrong. (Not I'm saying it's your case, but here even the tax office is not really sure how to deal with it, the only one who seems to know is the one giving fines, and he's not an adviser, just an inspector ...)
