Sorry, I don't have that much experience in these kind of things and I don't
know if you need a VAT in these cases (as the congress). If you know for
sure that P3B doesn't need a VAT number for selling entry tickets, then you
don't need to take a VAT account.  But in case you're not sure yourself...
that's why I proposed to contact your accountant.

yup, I did, but have overlooked it.... these laws are not my cup of tee and
certainly not when they are in french.

Thanks. It would have been easier if you gave this all along.

Euhm, just wanted to be sure not to put information on it that you didn't
liked.... therefor all these questions...
nothing else behind these endless to and from mailings...

> Do you need something else ?

No, but like Marc-Andre told, it is perhaps better that you set up the
account at ShareIT yourself. This will avoid these kind of stupid mailings
and perhaps future mailings (because of something I don't know of when
filling in the ShareIT account) , since you have all the information at
hand. Besides, perhaps you would like to know what information is on the
ShareIT account...
