Randler posted:A manufacturer (M) makes tampons. For one shipment of tampons he requires supplies, which he purchases from his supplier (S) for 500 CU before tax. M then takes these supplies and fashions them into one shipment of tampons. He then this one shipment of tampons to his buyer (B). To determine the sales price before tax M looks at the costs for the materials he used an adds a 10 percent charge for labour costs and his profit margin. The applicable general VAT rate is 20 percent unless stated otherwise. That makes sense. I always thought that you must count your VAT claims against your own VAT debts, I didn't know that you can just get your claims directly from the government, in a laundry bag with a euro sign on it.

I took some liberties to make the post shorter and easier to understand. You're correct in that you will have to balance out your input VAT with your output VAT and only the remaining balance is a claim or a liability that will actually result in cash transfers. You can, however, get money back from the tax administration if your input VAT is higher than your output VAT. Which is part of the reason why you have to recognize input VAT separately from output VAT instead of just adjusting one position.

Toplowtech posted:Technicaly, it just mean a policeman seeing a group of more than a "few people" in the street is justified to go see what's going on. So lot of young people don't want to go outside to smoke in group because the gendarmerie is technically allowed to come see if they are smoking or carrying marijuana. Think of it as super expanded justifiable cause. I guess your 9/11 really has come.

It was said that these terrorists were mostly EU citizens and therefore could travel like tourists. It was said that they didn't need to travel on refugee routes unless they did it so deliberately to tar refugees.

GaussianCopula posted:Are you telling me that Molembeek, Belgium, is practically under the control of ISIS? No? But do you think that gang-like practices are above ISIS or something? The guy that orchestrated the attack on Paris lived there, he obviously has a support network there and could operate to some degree from there. Would you need to think there's more than a handful of ISIS guys in your neighbourhood to be scared of them?

There also have been two recent ECHR decisions, which are relevant to immigration and freedom of movement talk about Europe. [url="http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-161061#{%22itemid%22:[%22001-161061%22]}"]PAJIĆ v. CROATIA[/url] Basically: If you allow foreign spouses easier immigration, this benefit has to be extended to same sex spouses. [url="http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-161054#{%22itemid%22:[%22001-161054%22]}"]GARIB v. THE NETHERLANDS[/url] Basically: Dutch law restricting certain kinds of people (e.g. poors) from moving into certain neighbourhoods is reconcilable with freedom of movement (Convention Variant).

GaussianCopula posted:Are you telling me that Molembeek, Belgium, is practically under the control of ISIS?. Cripes, no. It's the same thing as the 'no snitching' BS in the US. Anyone that provides info to the police, gets put in the record somewhere somehow and I can understand people being afraid to report, especially if the police in question happen to be particularly lovely about confidential source/witness protection.

There's "being afraid to report" and "pelting media cars with rocks". It's not a stretch that a place that produced a lot of isis recruits would also have isis sympathizers living there.

Otherwise I'm calling bullshit on this claim. Hard proofs wrt. the motives of dead people are going to be hard to get, since séances are not considered valid in courts of law, but that's a neat way to explain why one would register in three different refugee camps with a fake passport and then throw that fake passport on the floor before blowing himself up.

Honestly us only having ourselves to blame instead of blaming the current scapegoat (currently the perfidious Slav, soon to be the treacherous Balkinite) would be a boon to the political landscape.

Charlie Mopps posted:What a roaring success for austerity. I don't get that logic. It's like saying "surgery is bad" because you were unable to save someone who got his head blast off with a shotgun. Do you honestly believe that either the Greek state was/is not in dire need of reform and that there would have been even the slightest hint of political will to enact such reforms, if Greece were given enough money to continue to run a high deficit for longer? I'm not even going to talk about the question, whether such payments would have been politically sustainable in the rest of Europe.

Austerity is not reform, and Austerity only helps one group of people: The wealthy. It fucks everyone else, and basically leaves the economy in further tatters than before.

My Imaginary GF posted:Is this Europe's equivalent of Plessy v. Ferguson? Except there is no racial component at all in these cases. The goal is not to let at risk neighbourhoods get worse. They do this by not allowing too many people with social problems (on welfare, criminal past) to move into a neighbourhood. But there is also a house visit by civil servants where they check if your apartment is actually fit for habitation and if it is fit for the number of people that plan to live there (no you can't move your 5 children into a 1 bedroom apartment or put in bunk beds and rent out the beds to eastern european labourers). The income requirement is not high, minimum wage is more than enough. It is less "no poors" and more "no welfare recipients that have lived in this region shorter than 6 years".

YF-23 posted:If you're going to put up a wall around Germany, and fill it with water, and you want to submerge all of Germany at least 10 meters deep, the wall will need to extend to an altitude of 10 meters above the highest point in Germany, otherwise you'll get spillage. The Mount Everest isn't in Germany though. This means a 10km wall is still overkill. Besides this, if Trump gets elected we might consider putting up ludicrously high walls around the US instead. And submerge them in poo poo, paid for by Mexico Also I didn't saw this mentioned yet: Turkish civil servants arrived today in Greece to help Greek authorities to implement the treaty. The start is pretty rough, though: Apparently they're missing everything they need to work, like machines, translators, enough time and other stuff.

CommieGIR posted:Austerity: Letting the wealth leave the country in the pockets of the wealthy while the market collapses. Nobody's going to keep financing "reform" in a country that refuses any reforms without strict conditions. The Greeks wasted decades of a potential to build a working economy, their alternative is either to keep the debt they accrued, and receive no more loans and aid (and then go flat out into default); or cut the debt down using foreign funding while imposing austerity measures. Either way, there's no option in which the Greek economic bubble doesn't collapse, it's just a cosmetic choice. The world has no obligation to keep pouring money into the country in hopes it will undo an era of gently caress ups and corruption on somebody else's dime. The only other option I can think of would be triggering the odious debt principle, but it's absurd to compare the state of Greek corruption with the plight of African countries abused and pillaged by warlords and indebted to weapon dealers etc.
