  • KW32 ~ VAT pre-reports, Open Circle #3, and Netto vs. Brutto

    Not really a Podcast, more like a "Sprachi" ;)

    Open Circle is a free group call for freelancers and self-employed people in Germany to talk about the business side of their creative practice, especially everything around the financial, operational or accounting side.

    Not really a podcast, more like a "Sprachi" ;)
