And they'll probably tax the shit out of it #germany

The tax revenue from commerical sales was one of the big pro arguments before they had to cancel/deley those plans due to EU/international laws.

Ah great addition thank you for your comment. I love your name by the way. I wonder what EU/international laws prevent that

It's basically one of the UN treaties and Schengen ones that potentially clash, but that's debated as seen here https://eucrim.eu/articles/legalize-it-opportunities-and-cha...

Thanks

There is actually no tax on it (… in the current law)

(You obviously still need to manage VAT if your business exceeds 22'000€/50'000€ per year.)

So no tax except 19% VAT and about 30% corporate income tax...

no, it's not allowed to sell it commercially, so no VAT. You can only obtain it through clubs for a fee to cover the production cost.

Oh OK. So it's not fully legalised then...
