How to purchase mysensors SW protocol stack, instead of donation
-
Hi,
For Danish tax authorities there is a difference to "donate" and purchase of a "product".

Provides this text: Du kan få fradrag for fx: Varekøb, dvs. udgifter til varer, som du sælgeMy idea is to sell a complete sensor, and provide a donation to Mysensors/Sensnology for each sensor product I will sell.
https://www.openhardware.io/view/56/Mys-Interposer-NRFArduino-Pro-Mini#tabs-instructionsSo instead of making a donation, can I then instead purchase a "product" ? I would like to purchase a "mysensors sw protocol" from Sensnology. Maybe this could be done so there will be a button next to donation button, but call it buy SW protocol stack, let me enter the donation amount to pay via paypal, email address, and send me a valid invoice as pdf to my email?

That is bending the rules a bit..
There seems to be some loopholes.. But your accountant has to be in on it http://anettesand.dk/2009/brevkasse-støtte-til-opensource-projekter/
(and sorry to all non-danes, with these "encrypted" pages we link to :))

There are a few options available. Sensnology AB can issue VAT invoices (VAT will be deductible in a danish company). But the "normal" thing is to sell products/services without VAT between companies within EU.
Might be better if you contact me via email to discus the options.

I continue in this thread, please tell me if you want me to create a new thread.
I am thinking of selling a complete kit with sensors using MySensors protocol. I will sell as a private person, as a hobby. So no taxes will be payed or billed.
Is this possible to do, according to your license?
-
Yes, as long as you distribute the source code for your device.
But the Swedish tax authority wants their taxes (even for a hobby income)

@hek
Thanksops, they want taxes all the time

@flopp I'd love to hear more about the kit you want to sell. I'm working on something similar, in a way.
