NEW EU WEBSITE NOW LIVE
-
Each country has its own tax authority. As a member of the EU, you only have to deal with your own national authority and then they deal with all the other tax authorities.
As a
pariahnon-member, you have no such luxury, you deal with all of them independently. Dealing with our own tax authority is hard enough, without trying to learn 27 other languages to deal with all the others…. -
Many thanks to @giles and everybody else in Gosport. Didn't feel to be in a disadvantage living on the continent within the last weeks, since you all handled this problem with the professional kindness we are all so much pleased about as IH customers. And I agree it's just very sad that some voices are trying to tear apart what has come closer together in a good way. Don't know where this is going, but I'm sure you will deal with it very well. Really appreciate it.

You folks handled this like you handle everything.
With class and style…not to mention with speed!
great news indeed! -
Lovely news. Best of luck through these times to you and the team Giles.

Will I be able to pay in USD from the EU website? Now it is impossible to change the currency.
-
it appears the British government hates its citizens as much as the American government hates theirs.
Fucking appalling. Beyond the pale. -
When I was in the military, we would call the situation a “clusterfuck - a disastrously mishandled situation or undertaking”.
Seems appropriate!
oh I remember that word when I was serving as well. "rush to wait and wait to rush" ends up causing most clusterfuck
@Giles out of curiousity, is the EU being set up as a seperate entity the way you guys did with IH America?
-
Not quite. We are in the process of setting up a taxable presence in the Netherlands, but the Netherlands is unique in that we can do that without registering a company. In the US, we had to do both…
ahh right. I'm guessing it's the same as what a few major companies like nike do. I did notice that some of their worldwide sales are billed through the Netherlands.. I'm assuming the process would be somewhat similar to that?

@Giles how’s the progress coming along learning the 27 languages? Are you going to learn them all or split them up amongst the crew? I may have found a chart that could be helpful. Delete if needed:
not to be one of those people but in the interest of clarity the French quote is "go fuck yourself."
should have connard at the end. Tradition is important. -

The Norwegian phrase used in the poster actually means "To the devil with you" or literally "The devil [Faen] take you [ta deg]". It is especially incongruous here as the Danish have the same phrase, "Fanden tar deg", but in the above poster they use the anglicised "Fuck deg", which we also use in Norway "Føkk deg". The same options are available in Swedish, but the poster suggests they use "knulla dig", which is entirely inappropriate as it it describes the desire to make love to someone, as opposed to the desire for them to disappear into the pits of hell.
Teacher by day, teacher by night. Being an irritating twat is just a hobby. Sorry
