Just renewed at $200 for a 2 year subscription. Wonder if I can make it tax deductible.
I never thought of that. Thanks for the idea
For it to be tax deductible it needs to be a donation to a registered 501©(3) where no goods or services were received in exchange for the donation.
Mmm…I haven’t read the article yet (will do!), but why should the owner of a profitable company make it unprofitable? 🤔
This is the important paragraph in the article
Because Proton has no venture capital investors, we can take this additional step to secure the future. Swiss foundations do not have shareholders, so Proton will no longer be dependent upon the goodwill of any particular person or group of persons. Instead, Swiss foundations and their board of trustees are legally obligated to act in accordance with the purpose for which they were established, which, in this case, is to defend Proton’s original mission. As the largest voting shareholder of Proton, no change of control can occur without the consent of the foundation, allowing it to block hostile takeovers of Proton, thereby ensuring permanent adherence to the mission.
This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing
