Tax deductible subscription

jayhel · 09-28-2005, 10:00 PM

Hi!

Since my Silver Membership is expiring with Mandrake, I would rather get a (voluntary) membership from Slackware for the same amount (US$132) for Sept 2005>Sept 2006.
How can I achieve this?
(I would like to have it tax deductible)

Rgs,

Subscriptions run $29.99 (shipping included) US. You get a new shippment each time Pat puts out a new version. Pat usually puts out a release every 6 to 8 months (or so) so you wouldn't have to pay any more than $60 (or so) in a GOOD year.

I don't know about the "tax deductible" thing, my guess is it ain't

.

I guess I missed that part about it being for a business. If it is for a business you can deduct it.

Remember to check what you get from the subscription. I believe the Mandriva Silver Clubmembers get access to some non-free software. If you need that software you will have to take that into account.

Pat did have a program to accept donations there after he got sick. I would contact him and telll him what you want to do. I would think he could accomodate you.

Yes!

Like for example a receipt that would be acceptable woldwide for the taxmen.

Allright ringwraith!

Not only for me but eventually for others...

I am waiting for your answer to proceed.

Meanwhile I ordered a coupe of books from the Slackware store.
