It's not a new tax it's existing legislation that was not enforced. By law they (the government) have a right to review your income in foreign currency for the past 5 years. So now freelancers are being taxed for those 5 years and are expected to pay, potentially thousands of dollars, in a short time period. Most of them knew this way of working was in the gray area at best and that the law is just not being enforced.

There was always an option of opening a small business, paying relatively small amount of taxes and doing it legally. This way you get medical insurance, and at least some pension. Of course this is not a good option for people that freelance as a side gig since taxes could range between 100 and 400 euros depending on what type of freelance jobs you did and where you live.

The k in the street name needs to be capital K.
I still wouldn't like it as I wouldn't have any control over the content I post. Let's say a company you hate buys a relatively common word. You can't use it without advertising the company you hate. They have effectively stolen that word from you :)
So every time I post about drinking coffee I would be advertising Starbucks?!? No, thanks. I think that would piss off a lot of users.

Either way, IMO, students shouldn't be the ones paying (yes, I know it's only 1$). Maybe he should have made an arrangement with the school so they cover the Apple fees or fund it through donations.

I was rooting for the OP up to the point when he said he was charging for the app. I know there wasn't some huge profit to be made there unless it's really huge school, but still. If he wanted to do something good for the school and fellow students shouldn't the app be free?
