it's not really about the taxes, i'm sure income tax exists in most places (although not in the UAE and Monaco and several others last time i checked, and in (of all places) Colombia the first $10k you make is tax-free.

There must be more who can do it. Just like Nayib Bukele succeeds where others fail despite the IMF slandering him for not being a nice doggie.

The thing with youtube by belgian overregulationlaws is more like : "providing a service" means you need to have an actual business, VAT number and everything and all the paperwork, which (here) means that you need to pay all kinds of stuff up front, which, in turn, means, that unless you make a certain treshold you end up losing money.

Since you are actively monetizing its not "happenstance" income you drop by or donations, you are "providing a service"

I'm sure the UK has its ways of making things hard for everyone but im still convinced no one has ways to prevent you from starting like this patch does.

Say i could put up a video on youtube and add the chance for someone to choose wether they want to , without actually pro-actively selling it (as in : getting ad moneyfor views by default) , it might fall under the obfuscated category.

The point is i think : make it as hard as possible for anyone but old money to get started and while at it make sure all foreign business and manufacturing runs away. I bet there's almost no production facilities in the country and big ones like faceberg or crapple usually set up shop in Ireland or something.

It's one big text-maze too.

If it were just under "income tax" you could simply just do it but here its not really like that (as it is with lots of cases)

"to keep the peasants down" ... there's this commercial on tv i saw where this girl answers after they ask her "what is your dream?"

"to buy a house!"

and i'm thinking like woaw, you're easily pleased and content then, but in effect its discouraged to have anything bigger in mind than that , i know for a fact b/c i can't count the people anymore who during my life told me to "get some realistic goal , like buy a house" ..

drecklands .. small place, small horizon, small thinking

you end up with small people

the only two billionnaires i can think of in the modern times here ended up in jail
