<p>Hi Anita,</p>
<p>About contributions to dev meetings:</p>
<p>Actually there was one contribution toward dev meeting from a
danish company (LIFA), which I listed among sponsorships, because
they also appear as a sponsor. Maybe I should move them over from
the sponsors to dev meeting contributions. Will do that.</p>
<p>Other contributions we sometimes had: OSGeo contribution to dev
meeting (noone followed up on this, maybe we should again next
year), sometimes a user group sponsored, esp. if the dev meeting
was in their country. F.e. the german user group co-sponsored the
meeting in Essen at the Linux Hotel.</p>
<p>-------------------------------<br>
</p>
<p>Speaking about finances and tax situation:</p>
<p>After I received all 3.4 bug fixing invoices and QGIS grants
invoices, I will have to review how we are doing financially. We
need to make sure that our revenues (income minus expenses) stay
as low as possible. Taxes in Switzerland are on two levels:
federal level (everything above 5000 CHF revenues will be
taxable), provincial/communal level (everything above 20000 CHF
revenues will be taxable). In addition, our assets on the bank
accounts need to remain below CHF 100'000 to avoid taxes on
assets. So most likely we will have to pay a low amount of federal
taxes in 2017, as almost always, our revenues will be a bit of CHF
5000.- At least in 2017 this was the case - we can still try to
avoid this same situation in 2018.<br>
</p>
<p>About VAT taxes: if we surpass CHF 150'000 per year in
sponsorships, we'll have to add 7.7 % VAT tax. I expect that we
hit this amount in 2019 or 2020. But that is ok. We just add this
tax on top of the sponsorship money.</p>
<p>However, we will receive the definitive invoices for the taxes,
delayed. There will be "pro-forma" invoices based on the tax
declaration from the last year. Since this is our first
declaration in 2018 for the year of 2017, we will receive the
definitive invoice of year 2017 in 2019. I know it is a bit
complicated ...</p>
<p>Tax-wise it would be much better to have a small negative, or
very small positive revenue each year ... and to not accumulate
assets on the bank account. But I guess this in our interest
anyway.<br>
</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>
