Great questions, I have a feeling that Brussels summit is more about the books than anything else. Potty may very well be there too, we just don't know it. Why send SS off in your car and then catch the train yourself. This was one quick last minute meeting set up.
I have more than a feeling, I know for a fact she has also planned a meeting with Potty, who will probably join them (off camera) in Brussels. It might be about the books indeed, as she has clearly underestimated the whole accounting thing. As usual she thought hiring an accountant was all that was expected of her as she is clueless when it comes to any form of structural administrative work (or any other work, for that matter). She's getting worried things might not go as smoothly as planned and needs her "partners in crime" to be onboard with her. Definitely a last minute trip to Brussels, when she waved Snorty goodbye on that parking lot she had no plans to follow him up north...

Questions for EU based Tattlers, I am trying to understand/appreciate the legal risk for Nic & Potty, Nic being in Belgium & Potty being in Netherlands.
1. Are the trio all directors in the business entities which receive funds from patreon? Ie a charity?
2. In France, does it make a difference if directors are in another country of the EU?
3. What liability for directors is there for mis- filing (ie tax evasion) of accounts in France?
4. If found guilty of tax evasion, what impact would that have on employment if self or spiuse in a UN or E Union job?
anyone can in the EU pay dual taxes
They can have multiple business in multiple countries - once the tax is paid

no doubt the meeting was in relation to getting a tax advisor - separate to the accountant
Which would be tax efficient

nic Marie / Potts / SSB have multiple duristrictions to cover - worse still business in the UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

essential to get their gifted money πŸ’° correct and not a liability to their OTHER lives 😈

Nobody asked, but I thought it might be time to mention again, that Nasty Phil and Angelina Ballerina only rent their chateau. They do not own it. Then they expect patrons to fund their lifestyle - they are all for profit. No talent grifters who have been on here trying to have a pop at some of the tattlers. If there is trouble on chateau fan sites - they are stirring the pot.
They have also been caught making disrespectful comments about other chateau vloggers. It would make sense that they would be in line to sabotage the chateau owners who cried foul play (cannot recall who, as I’m not interested in them).

Interesting questions.

Better ask directly... a French tax inspector ! I'm sure they would be delighted to know and to investigate this very very interesting "cas d'Γ©cole" (= case study). πŸ˜…

I just find it all very interesting. I've worked in global HR for years as a specialist so I am not across all contractual requirements. However I do know that senior executives (ie like Nic or Marie) would have to declare any other interests and any liabilities or legal breaches to their employer. A breach in another jurisdiction eg non EU, would have an impact in an EU country and vice versa. Nic's Marie would need to be aware if how her husband's business interests are set up (ie if his interests in La La are set up as a family trust or something) and her own liabilities as a beneficiary. It's why so many executives move assets into spouses' names so any business liabilities are not able to access family wealth, such as interests like La La. SJ is not the sole owner, nor the sole person accountable under law for tax evasion. SJ's incompetence impacts Nic, Marie & Pitty quite seriously.

Oh my, and she doesn't seem to have the most decent accountant either.
A good one would have told her from the start to keep separate accounts, makes life so much easier and the bill for the accountant cheaper.

She is paying him probably 300€per hour to sit next to her and watch her checking off payments, but so what? She can use different colours so it makes fun.
Also he should have told her right away what bills and receipts to have ready when he comes. Also he will send her a nice bill for coming at all, it's way cheaper to go to his office but foolish like she is she probably really chose the one from Billy and let's him come all the way just because she goes the most easy way. Sigh....
And I don't know about France but for a business this size with different co owners, each of them living in different countries and with all the different money revenues and charity status going on and even foreign countries and taxes involved you usually hire a bigger accountant company and they very often have their own little online program or at least can recommend some accounting software most suitable for your business ( and foolproof) Actually meeting might not even be necessary.
Somebody is getting paid alot for babysitting, what a waste of money! But, hey, talking about paying to make new friends, he was probably already at a costume party.

Think that was the best 1/2 hour I have spent on YT in a long time. Thank you for sharing this channel - I do not think it is so OT because this is someone truly restoring and doing a job worthy of having Patreons. Subscribing to her - she is fabulllous
That was interesting. Thank you for sharing.The woman certainly has her own unique way of perceiving the world. She has wonderful production values, albeit manifesting in a decidedly Gothic manner! But I'm not sure about wanting one's guests to feel 'comfortable and cared for but a little wary and suspicious' in her house. Bit of an oxymoronic theme there!

I agree. I would never have even mentioned the chateau renters and grifters, Phil and Angelina Ballerina until Phil came on here one night and tried to take me to task because I has been rightly and fairly critical of MPK. I soon saw him off. You are right, they have been disrespectful to other chateau owners. How they think they are relevant to actual chateau owners, I have no idea. Phil gives Brits as bad name.

I don't wish to derail the latest discussions regarding the accounts fiasco, but I chanced upon the following list of 'targets' which must have been written around the end of 2020.
Interesting to see the various projects which were listed as 'ongoing' almost a year ago.

I am always astounded at how much 'charity' and 'volunteering' goes on in England. Most of these charities pay large salaries to their top tier staff. Is it an acceptable way of grifting? Getting people volunteering under the auspice of charity. I just don't get the concept of all these charities in such a 'first world/rich' country.
Because the government won't give any subsidies for most of the work the charities cover and they have to rely on fundraising and donations and volunteers.
I absolutely agree with your point re the large salaries the top tier staff get . It's the same with large companies isn't it though ? I guess to attract top managers you have to pay top wages? It depends on your level of responsibility like any other organisation. They do seem to get over inflated salaries though.
One of my sons is a fundraiser. He worked for various charities ,but he didn't get the high salaries . He now fundraises for an educational institution and his talents are rewarded with better pay.
In defence of volunteering it is something that a lot of English people do when they retire, as who wants to just sit at home doing nothing?. I used to work in the mental health services and many of our clients, during recovery, used to get voluntary jobs to get them used to returning to the work setting. Other people who perhaps have no family, volunteer to meet people. Students do voluntary work to learn skills. Many small niche charities, that would not qualify for government funding, do amazing work such as Bat rescue, hedgehog hospitals, donkey sanctuaries. We have volunteer hospital visitors, pet therapy in hospitals. Our churches do a lot to welcome asylum seekers. Money isn't always everything. If we all sat back and expected pay for doing something for our communities, the world would be a poorer place in my opinion .
My grandmother made me laugh. She used to volunteer with a charity where she befriended a couple of elderly people, doing their shopping, chatting to them every day, a friendly face, that sort of thing. She told me how sorry she felt for "these poor old folk". She was at the time 92 years old. The poor "old dears" were in their 80s.😁
