I have an odd question, and mods, if this isn't where it goes, please feel free to move it.
Here's the story-- I have a book coming out in Slovenia in August, and the formal launch in October. I am thrilled and excited and can't wait. However, only the Slovene rights have been sold. It will come out both in Slovene for the general public and in English to be sold at the airport there in Ljubljana.
The problem is-- my husband's boss wants to have a Book Release Party for me. I guess I could buy some books in English and have them shipped here for the party, but how do I do the tax situation-- do I charge tax and then remit the funds to the requisite governmental offices? I'd have to get a tax number to do that (I doubt I could sell them under my agricultural business permit). Pass them out at the party for a donation? Give them away and "eat" the expense?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
