Ah, and they didn’t expect the non-UK income and the UK income to count towards the same threshold?

At least in Finland the 0% tax bracket ends at something like 1300 € per month, and I doubt they were getting that little per person for touring internationally.

There have been Finnish politicians joining Mastodon in in the last few weeks.

Yeah, I’m aware of this.

Didn’t Spotify just move to a system where they will pay anything at all only to 12% of their artists?

Isn’t the point of a label to organize getting money to you from people listening to your music?

So, they somehow forgot that income tax exists?

How can the existence of income tax come as a surprise?

What are those “withholding taxes”? Is it something most of which they will get back in a year or two?

And of course: Why does Sony organize tours this way? Make them employees of a EU-based company and pay them through that. Should remove most of complications.

What a well-written article. Many thanks for linking it!

There has been talk of them changing the engine for a European one. Even the engine they would use has been mentioned. Though, I cannot remember which one it is!

Nah, it’s just the three Lemmy instances of endless horror. Regarding making Fediverse more popular, our most important thing is to make sure that people understand to ignore anything that comes from that holy trinity of limitless stalinist madness :)

Hey! Thanks a lot for this info!

Her Finnish party, Kokoomus, is basically the same thing in Finland as CDU is in Germany. Never thought I’d follow someone from that party on something like Mastodon. But fine, that’s an important post they’re holding, and that’s something to respect! Deffo want to see what they’ve got to say!

Very happy that there’s meaningful EU social media precence outside the “all is about profit” part of the social media. It means we on this continent do have hope!
