I am not an accountant. This is not tax advice. However, I do international consulting and have to deal with this kind of stuff all the time. Basically, for him , he needs an invoice. It should describe what he's getting and how much it costs. Then it's up to him to convince his company to pay the invoice. Whether or not they can claim it is an expense is probably important to the company, so something like a support…
> Whether or not they can claim it is an expense is probably important to the company, so something like a support contract is much more useful than a sticker (I really, can't imagine how to declare a sticker from a non-partner as an expense...) +100 - absolutely bang on target. > TL;DR: giving him an invoice (especially for a service) will make it easy for him to pay you, but will make things complicated for your ta…

#202Just a quick reminder, if everyone here donates just 3-5$, the expenses will be paid in no time :) Krita is a great software, and even though I'm not an artist it's worth supporting.
Thanks for pointing that out. I usually don't donate but did so this time. Is there a list of open source software that is going through similar hardships that need donations?

#208Could all of this have been avoided with good accounting / tax advice to begin with? I don't mean to be that person that gives 20/20 hindsight, but this is the sort of legal and tax problem that gets many startups into trouble.

#210Can I buy something rather than donate ? Its hard for me to donate using my company account - but very easy to buy stuff. It doesnt matter even if its a license to email you 10 times a year.
Sure: we have a shop full of stuff: https://krita.org/en/support-us/shop/ (though the website is still being hammered...)
I don't think I'd be open to forking over 12 EUR for shipping. I'd gladly pay 8 EUR for an eBook edition though.
