6 AOB - Any other business

  • From Bastian:
What are the considerations for moving the PPI headquarters (seat) to Luxembourg?
Is the Chairperson aware of the tax consequences of this? That we are a Swiss association, all tax obligations (tax reporting and returns) are taken care of by Postfinance Suisse. We have nothing to do there.
That's why we have the P.O. Box in Geneva, because we need an address in Switzerland, since PPI has its headquarters in Switzerland. It was a lot of work to solve the problem.
20 francs per year are peanuts.
All my mails and post to PP-Luxembourg remained unanswered until now.
We would need a decision of the General Assembly to move the seat from Switzerland to Luxembourg.
We know, what it means if we don't fulfill our obligates (some thousand Euro as fines n Belgium).

Joe (guest): I have a question regarding the Funds collected for the Pirates4Ukraine campaign. what happened with those funds?

All have been transferred to the entity that it was collected for - everything is very transparent recorded in our wiki: https://wiki.pp-international.net/wiki/index.php?title=Finances/AidUkraine - all collected funds have been transfered on 14.06.2022 to the SocEntLab, thats the NGO that Svein is working with
Bastian: we never from them on how they used the funds that we have transferred.
