What are the big wins you always include in your tax returns?

Hello

As you know, for our yearly tax return, we are expected to provide all sorts of documents to our accountant or agree with the simplified proposal.

I always add: price of my legal expense insurance (rechtsbijstandsverzekering/ assurance protection en justice) and my different loans for real estate.

What are some of the big wins you always include in your tax return to get a discount?

What is your experience participating in these open tenders?

Hello

I have been following the open tenders on this website for a while now: https://www.publicprocurement.be/bda

My impressions:

  • They seem to often exclude single individuals by: -as far as I can see- often require 1M+ of revenue during the last couple of years, x number of employees, compliancy to ISO norms, etc...
  • There seem to be many different types of tenders. It is not quite clear to me what all the different types of tenders entail
  • Being able to submit an offer in the right format for these tenders seem to be a whole skill in and of itself not only wrt format but also pricing as you seem to have no view at all on what other people bid.

Have some of you already participated in these open tenders? What is your experience? Was it worth it?

Bought article online but no reply - what can I do?

Hello

I am living in Belgium and bought a rather expensive article (250 euro) from this company in Romania on their webshop:

XANDER CREATIVE S.R.L. 400118 Cluj-NApoca CJ, Romania
VAT: RO52736213

However they never shipped my article nor refunded me. I reached out to them countless times via e-mail, instagram and phone but never got any reply except once. I once threatened them I would undertake legal actions to get refunded and then suddenly got a reply from them via e-mail saying they have a problem with their mailserver but will get back to me in a couple of days. Needless to say, they never got back to me.

What can I do to get a refund or my objects? Hiring a lawyer in Belgium to sue them will be quite costly, more than the object's value.

In Belgium, we have this organization, which you can pay something like 20e/year IIRC and they will help you to come to some kind of settlement in case of disagreement or conflict. The organization does not employ lawyers but jurists.

What possibilities are there in Romania?

Thank you

Which fuelcard do you have for your car?

Hello

As you may know if you don't have a fuelcard you have no invoice to your company, only a regular receipt. Which means you cannot recuperate VAT, you can only deduct costs not VAT.

Unfortunately, I didn't know that and my accountant never told me in the 7 years I have been a client. After calling my accountant he confirmed this is the case.

I am considering a Q8 fuelcard because it is free and I have a station 5 minutes from where I live. Also I have somewhat the impression Q8 is almost everywhere in the country. But perhaps there are other hidden costs which implies this may not be the best option. Or maybe their fuel is always a tiny bit more expensive than other firms'.

So, long story short, what fuelcard do you use? And what is perhaps your experience with different types of cards?

What mold to use for a bellow?

Hello

I am pretty new to 3d printing and have never done any (injection)molding before. I would like to mold this with walls of between 2-5mm at home: https://imgur.com/a/l66RWwI

What shape/type of 3d printed mold would you suggest me to 3d print for this? I was thinking about some kind of recipient which has this shape: 1 larger and one a bit smaller (e.g. 2 mm smaller), so I can pour the product in between the two recipients. But then I have no clue about how you would unmould all of that to recuperate your actual bellow.

The shore hardness of this bellow will be somewhere between A20 (like a rubber band) and A60 (like a tire), don't know exactly yet. I will have to try a couple of things and see what suits best.

I know in some cases people build collapsible molds to be able to easily unmold afterwards. But I am not sure here what type of mold I could use and thus would be the best suited.

Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

EDIT: I am working with silicone, not plastic

Hallo

Dit is mijn huis: https://imgur.com/a/44AdTdj

Ik heb continu ontzettend veel dergelijke insecten op mijn vorgevel (soms zeker honderden): https://imgur.com/a/deX2Qsw

Ik heb geen idee wat voor insecten dit zijn en ben de enige in de hele straat die dergelijke insecten op zijn voorgevel heeft. Mijn directe buren hebben er geen.

Weet iemand hoe dit komt of wat die insecten juist aantrekt?
