Then I have to ask my tax accountant, if I have to pay sales tax (in Germany 19% at the moment). Anyway I have to pay income tax, maybe 30-35 %. That means 4,- Dollars (or Euro) at most remaining for me (I cannot draw off the costs for I had loss for the past 3 years and then the fiscal authorities don?t accept this anymore; they tell you it?s just your hobby, you don?t intend to make profits at all).

At the moment I feel like I have done my contribution to this theme. Sometimes I am a little bit sad, but even more I am glad that I put down business. Besides it is better for the concentration on my regular job (?which finally financed my activities).
