Do you remember when mousing over a picture would show the alt tag in something resembling a tooltip? (Maybe it can still be set like this, but isn't default in Chrome or Firefox anymore.) I recall being quite amused sometimes at what

I traded opals for a while, but my supply was boulder opals from around Quilpie in Queensland. Not underground like Coober Pedy and White Cliffs, but still not a whole lot there![1] One of the best introductory books about opals is Opal Ide

The tax situation is that the company's corporation tax will be paid in the country where it is registered. Although one does need to be a little careful also about where business is being conducted. If I pay myself an income (not divi

That's a good point. However, keep in mind other EU jurisdictions like Germany and Austria require even more initial share capital, and also have generally higher base corporation tax rates.

The UK currently has a corporate tax rate of 20%. Ireland is a 12.5% on trading income, Malta is 35% but reducable to 5% in some circumstances, Lithuania is also 5% for small companies, Estonia is 0% on undistributed profits.[1] Some resear

Yes. Unless you intend to spend a lot on equipment upfront, don't register for VAT. You don't have to unless the company's income hits a certain threshold (I forget exactly how much now). Just be careful about any VAT you thi

Even if that chart is only for one month, the website does include sales data for longer periods. Back in August 2016, they published an article claiming there are now 500,000 EVs on European roads.[1] I think one interesting point to keep
