Well, same as any other expense. You find a way to pay for it, or you go out of business. If the number is 10%; you need either 10% more revenue or 10% less costs.

Except its a fabricated expense by law. Of course we can say "it is what it is, deal with it" for pretty much anything.

Sorry, I thought you were asking a question. I misread, didn't realize it was rhetorical.

It is unjust. It is destructive. It actively impoverishes all of us. This is where they trot out the cold, detached assertion of Robespierre that one has to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

As far as I know, this law has been a thing for a couple of years now. How has your company been dealing with it so far? You say "this law WILL" but if it's already in effect, then it means that you would have already had to find a way to pay taxes for the last few years right?

Our other expenses offset it. (That is, we were making losses - typical VC funded company)
