I guess calling it a tax credit is misleading. It is an option that employers can do, where some percent of employee salaries is set aside and like.. an account.. and that money can be used, tax free I guess, for certain purchases. I wont list them all here but one is bike. The only other company I know that does this, is the Gemeente Amsterdam for its employees. Hey Kenny… I guess calling it a tax credit is misleading.

I have been eyeing the Secret Service, even after I got a nice used Breezer Uptown 8 recently : ) They are lovely. Can you give more detail as to how the tax credit works? Is it a personal business based one, in what type of business? Cheers, kenny This is great Mark.

Thanks for your comment on my blog….you might not make a point but the point is that you are exactly making the point that I am trying to point out.

Huh?

Anyway, I made a decision and bought a flight home. Typically, since then I´ve been getting promising emails about jobs here in Barcelona.

Looking forward to getting together with you soon, I´d love to find out how you do it, knowing and writing so much about so many different things. It´s incredible!

See ya in A´dam!
