it's my understanding that - in Germany, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden - you need to be in the civil register before you can get a tax number before you can register a business. it may be very different in the Netherlands, as many things are there. adam certainly would know. in my time living in the above countries i never heard of anyone doing this. that's not to say it isn't possible of course. it's a good approach: a citizen is someone whose primary role is both to generate revenue for the state by paying tax and to stimulate the economy through consumption. if you can get that close without having to have an ID card then the state sentries will surely leave you alone.. cheers, -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net messages containing HTML will not be read. _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
