<div dir="ltr">taxation depending on where you make it or sell it. do it in hongkong, 0 tax. <br><br>Anyway, I would not want this donation drive to compete with our precious LGM drive, esp. since they share same name.<br>
<br>I would prefer this just makes money. Its easier to do.<br><br>Jon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 1:48 PM, Cyrille Berger Skott <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cberger@cberger.net">cberger@cberger.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">1) 8000$ is a lot of money, especially for something that does not exist, I have no doubt the result will be great, but it is a bit difficult to explain to outsiders. Personnally I would have wait to have something to show (at least, I would have been willing to blog if I could show a PDF).</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">2) You won't be able to repeat the donation driver for each issue, so it would probably be a good idea to think about a sustainable model, aka sell the magazine, or a subscription</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">3) if you use a non-profit organization, the magazine can be seen as the "free" magazine of the organization, distributed to its member, and then you setup the yearly membership to cover the cost, wouldn't that work to avoid or limit taxes ?</p>
