Three strikes and I'm out!

I don't remember it taking 500 years to download and install adobe reader before?

Do people still download that when every browser is capable of reading pdf files?

Except this particular PSD from Skatteverket (Swedish Tax Authority) which I had neglected to fill in, for my new business. It also needs to be signed but Adobe won't allow me to sign it without an account and a free trial of some extra fiddlestuff.

I thought the whole point of me not being allowed to charge VAT if I was selling for peanuts was that I'd not have to pay taxes on those small sales. But apparently I do. So it's more expensive to have a small business than a large one? Also, I have to have a business for selling art but if I was selling something else, I needn't include this in my tax thingies? Or maybe I would, but nobody would know if I did or if I was honest about it.

Ah, well if you have to edit a pdf that's a different thing, I don't recall ever having to edit an existing pdf. Normally the only one's I get are invoices

it was a fill in thing and it needs to be printed for signing. not that my printer works... so I wanted to sign with my digital pen but apparently drawing on pdfs is a no no...

there's so much I still need to understand about the finances of business...
I just read an example that basically said, if you have 10 apples worth 5 p each, that's a total value of 50p. you then sell 30 p worth of apples and after the tax deduction (reduction?) your remaining apples are worth 60p.

Sounds great, but it makes no sense...

You can import pdfs as an image into something like Photoshop (or GIMP) and sign it in there.

Yeah, I figured I might try that. But after reading about it some more, I'm not sure it's finished anyway... Probably is, since the equipment I use for painting is MOSTLY used for private purposes... I have to look into it some more. Maybe not so much for last year as for the future.

Don't worry, I'm here now to solve all your problems.

I've read through the various posts and I can say with complete confidence that I understand absolutely nothing about what has been said.

I think it's a conspiracy by the world's accountants. They're the only ones to understand anything which means the rest of us are screwed if we don't pay for their services...
