  1. Ok, thanks. (I used the word, "avoid", because that other one, "evade", is something I really don't want to be doing.) I'm still chewing on the association side, the idea was presented by the person giving the AE class at the CIC, although she only said to go and form an association and then come back. In hindsight, I should have corralled her after the class, and asked exactly what she meant. At any rate, I'm not going back until I explore the options...whatever they may be. So, my next question is; how would an association for this kind of thing work? Would it be run alongside of my sales, with kit supplies being bought/donated, to be distributed as the kits were made up...could I ask kit buyers/general public to donate, or could I sell my product as 'buy two and we will give one'? Can associations be so closely affiliated with business?
  2. I took an AE course at my closest Chambe of Commerce, and much of the class was on how to deal with letters, calls, and scams. The basic advice was...call your CIC to ask them, before you fork out any cash, as most of the claims/requests/demands will be very well produced fakes.
  3. I sell a headlouse product, but I also want to donate some of this same product, as my goal is to rid the entire planet of the little buggers. Because you can't just get rid of the ones on your head, if the ones on the head next to yours are still there, as they'll simply keep the cycle of reinfestation going. And, as many people can't, or won't, rid themselves of headlice, due to the expense, the only reasonable solution is to help them out and solve the itchiness for all. As I'm an auto-entrepreneur, my expenses can't be deducted, making the donation of products a bit expensive for me. I do have to eat, pay bills, and keep a roof over my head. My question is, then, which is the best way for me to be able to affordably donate? If I'm not able to deduct donations from my taxes, would creating an association, and then marking a percentage of each sale as a donation to the association, be a way to avoid part of the AE tax? Any creative and legal solution would be appreciated...by me and the ones scratching their heads.
