  1. Their argumentation... on Taxing Free Software · · Score: 2
    ...is very simple: 1) you have to register all software and equipment used to gain commercial profit 2) these things have a concrete, measurable value 3) this being so, they should be taxed. Very coherent.

    This is meant to be a means of protection against tax abuse, e.g if you sell a car, you have to pay tax taking as a base the price you sold the car at or the "table value", . Now this protection has become a weapon against users of free software, which is a thing with it's own culture with little care of revenue board officers' concern about specific laws, tax offences, commercial gain, taxes etc.
