Hello, I have two questions regarding the registration process:
1. Speaker signup I'd like to submit a talk or two and would like to register as speaker, but the registration form only has "private", "student" and "company". Is the speaker registration not available yet, or should I just sign up as "company" and then set some flag later on ? 2. Charging VAT to companies On the company registration form you say "Company fares allow for full tax deduction. 20% VAT will always be included in the invoices because of Italian tax regulations, and will need to be fully paid (even by companies in the EU area); in most countries, VAT can be recovered when filing tax return forms." The latter is true, but is a lot of paper work and usually only feasible if you are talking about EUR 500+ in VAT from a single EU country. Now to make things easier the EU has established the EU VAT ID system, where you provide a VAT ID and reverse charge the VAT to the company buying the ticket. As a result, no VAT has to be charged on the invoice and the paper work is reduced to a minimum. Would it be possible for Python Italy to accept valid VAT IDs and reverse charge the VAT to the EU companies ? Here's the EU VAT ID validation site you can use for validating the IDs: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 21 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
