OK boys and girls, pop quiz. We have two options on how to deal with the money for August Penguin. The organizing people can't seem to aggree. We need YOU to choose.
1. Each person pays 50 NIS, and get a recipiet for it from a friend of mine who has company which among other things organises events. Expenses for the event (movie + hall) shall be paid by my friends company. If there is money missing in the end of the day I'm going to cover the difference, no problem. If there is extra money left she is going to donate it to some NPO (e,.g. FSF) minus the tax she paid on the 'profit' she officialy made. Pros: simple, legal and allows people that can to tax deduct the 50 NIS as an expense. Cons: Extra money, if any, goes to some NPO. 2. Each person pays 50 NIS, does *not* get a recipiet. Expnses are paid by organisers and anything not covered is our problem. If we have too much money at the end of the event each participant receives back the part from his 50 NIS that were not used, rounded up to the closest multiple of 5. Pros: fair, we'll return the extra money if any as promised. Cons: Probably illegal (no recipient, not VAt etc. etc.), you can't get recipiet so you can't tax deduct the expense and at least to my view down right impractical, but some lunatics here call me weird... :-) Please voice your opinion.
