I can't give more specific information about my situation, but I would recommend contacting one of the companies that has a public article on the "Wegzugssteuer", for example the one I linked in the first comment. That way yo

You definitely need advice from professionals, yes. All included, I'd expect it to cost 5k€-30k€, but not more.

> You are signing paper that claims you never left Germany!!! No you aren't. You are signing a paper that says a managerial decision about the shares of the company happened in Germany. Where you live does not matter. You just have

I was someone who almost got hit by this tax. You don't need any offshore shenanigans to get around it. If you just want to move out of the country you can also just keep the ownership of the company within the country. You do this by

It will be interesting to see. Just for completeness, Fastly is not requiring us to BYOIP or anything unless it causes them actual problems, which so far it hasn't. I'm sure they also have other similar businesses to ours so they

To (1) - if this was the case, it would have been great if they had talked about it openly or in any way really. To (2) - I do agree that $300 is probably cheap. But I also think that $10k is very expensive, and it seems Fastly agrees. (3)

I would be very happy to hear Cloudflare's actual side of this. (Or - it would have been great if they had given their side to us before getting into this mess). The only critical information from our side that I'm aware of is tha

This is literally all written communication they gave us. The only other thing was calls. Not calls with anyone that had any knowledge about what any issues were, but calls with sales.

I'm not sure. It was on spot one on the first page, then something happened and it got downranked: https://hnrankings.info/40481808/ maybe due to being flagged by people (according to another comment). I guess it

BYOIP is reasonable, though I doubt anyone actually does legislation blocks by IP. Since like half of companies on the internet use Cloudflare or other multi-tenant infrastructure everyone is aware that you can't block an IP address an

I did mention the multiple-domains issue in the post. It would not have been amazing for us to remove our secondary domains, but we would have been very happy to do it if it had resolved the issue. We asked them again and again but they wou

We do already fully block the Netherlands since a long time ago since their regulations don't allow us to operate there.

Over 90% of our traffic is cached, since it is static assets. I can look up how much traffic reaches our origin, but the main factor is the number of static files hit. We used Cloudflare Analytics (part of the business plan) to track this,

I do encourage you to read the whole article cause there is some fine details in there. The main point is that we were happy to remove any domains apart from our main domain (which gets > 95% of our traffic) but Cloudflare did not give u

Yes, but now give out the statistics on how much of the calories fed to cows in total in the US or worldwide is actually grazing and how much is from crops that need extra area apart from where the animals graze. Even cattle that grazes is

I guess you're assuming this is about the weight of food they are eating. Why? What they're actually doing is measuring the isotopes in the carbon of the bodies of the human remains. You don't get any carbon in your body from

I kind of regret reading this article. It's very long and doesn't have all that much interesting information. It starts with the author discovering that some charities are not effective, especially when rich people go to poor coun
