No, but keep in mind that as per our Terms Of Use, TinyLetter can only be used for sending to contacts that have given you permission to do so. Hi

]]> Comment on About VAT for online software purchases by Lbordea http://www.alexbrie.com/2012/05/about-vat-for-online-software-purchases/#comment-1379 Lbordea Mon, 21 May 2012 07:16:33 +0000 http://www.alexbrie.com/?p=167#comment-1379 This is what I found: "It is European rule that when a seller sells for over a certain total amount a year to a specific country (I don't know the correct amount) it has to charge the VAT of that country to its customers from that country". "For orders being delivered to other countries within the EU, Amazon.co.uk will charge VAT according to the VAT rate within that country. Goods sold by Amazon.co.uk that are dispatched to addresses outside of the EU are generally not subject to EU VAT". I know that some time ago Amazon was charging me only the UK VAT but at some point, 2 years ago, they switched to RO VAT - as a conclusion more and more sales are coming from Romania :).

But maybe you're right and it's legal, I just would like to learn why/how come. That’s weird, I don’t remember paying VAT for past Amazon.co.uk purchases (books).

So, it must be legal. I do not know why but someone from accounting told me that this is correct in some cases. Well, do you know that even Amazon charges 24% VAT if you buy from the CO.UK site ?

I've been on the road for 5 months now with only a 33l backpack. And you know what? Not only I threw away quite some stuff since I left, but I actually feel like I still carry too much stuff. It's impressive how little one needs! And you can always buy stuff if you find out you forgot something! But for no laptop? That will be tough. What if you want to watch a movie, or listen to some music that is not on your iPhone, or or... ? Forget it, you'll probably be fine. But I have a hard time whenever I go more than 2 days without. Singapore is indeed super expensive. One place I highly recommend is this: http://www.icare2share.com/2007/10/indian-restaurant-singapore-annalakshmi.html . Not only they have awesome Indian food (that you can find all over SG), but you choose how much you want to pay for it! Literally, you ask for the bill, they ask you how much you want to pay, then they bring you the bill with the amount you requested. Another thing to check out is http://hackerspace.sg/ . I know you're on vacation, but it's always good to hang out with some like-minded people. And that's a pretty nice place to hang out. Enjoy! Good idea to take small backpacks!
