Hi, With Kickstarter, the income from the crowdsource efforts are considered sales incomes as there often are real benefits and products being traded with the various transactions. Make a donation of sorts and get a new prototype thingie, even if it is only a promise of a thingie yet to be built

Re: Infinite Livecode Pledge

It is completely different. VAT comes off the top line, like an excise tax. Income tax comes off the bottom line. Therefore, if a firm is plowing funds into development, it can be at or below 0 on the bottom line, therefore the tax on the funds would be zero, and depending on its previous

Re: Infinite Livecode Pledge

I wonder if an inversion with the US being the collection point would help, since there is no VAT, here. It still seems weird that there would be VAT on fundraising, where the contributor is not receiving any in-kind benefit, other than more awesomeness, but for the Community version, that

Dear all, I’m currently trying to adapt an old stack to LC 8, and among other things I’m trying to use the browser widget. My question: how to replace the good old ‘revBrowserCallScript’ command ? It is surely absolutely evident, but not for my poor old brain… Thanks in advance ! Jacques

Lagi: We aren't thrilled about having to pay VAT either. However, doing it through Kickstarter would not have avoided this. It is not a charity and pledges through it are liable for VAT. We paid VAT on the Kickstarter we did back in 2013. We did factor in VAT on the campaign when we started.

Infinite Livecode Pledge

Hi All I have just paid my pledge and I was cheesed off that 20% of my DONATION/PLEDGE has gone to the government. If doing feature exchange is to save Kickstarter fees it certainly doen't do that. Couldn't you think about creating a charity for the .org (it is open source) and we donta to
