Re: The Future of Jolla's Tablet
Apparently they had enough money to buy some Jolla tablets from the Chinese reseller. I speculate that the "surprise" is they will send the Lastu case to the remaining tablet backers (if the cases...

Re: Jolla tracking numbers
In EU, VAT is added to the VAT-free price. If the price including VAT is 399,00 €, then VAT-free price is 399,00 € / 1,24 = 321,77 € and VAT is 399,00 € - 321,77 € = 77,23 € (= 24 % x 321,77 €).

You are correct, there are certain distance sales rules if your intra-EU sales exceed 100,000 € per country.
