You know, I just heard that David Billings, aka Sparky Firepants, was going to hold a workshop like this. I'll have to have a follow-up post. Maybe I can interview him on how it went! Thanks for the suggestion! Kelly Tom, thank you!

Seriously, Kelly, this is pretty terrific advice (er, non-advice). I've always felt that one of the great benefits of self-employment was the ability to take advantage of tax <del>loopholes</del> deductions like this one. I'd love to hear reports of how it went for you or others who take the plunge.

I used to fill out those forms all the time for my job, and still can't remember the rules. Ah, maybe you’re right.

If I remember rightly, you could reclaim VAT on any items removed from the country permanently. Say if you bought an iPod here, you could claim back the VAT when you leave. But I'm pretty sure you can't claim back VAT on things like hotels. VAT stuff is kinda complicated for non-EUers.

My pool would have one of those cheesy swim-up bars as well as a fully waterproof library filled with laminated classics--Middlemarch, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Middlesex (yes, I'm a fan of Middles). I'm curious to know if this would work with the HMRC, too. And then there are all the VAT issues, which I need to look into. I believe that U.S. citizens are eligible for a full VAT refund on hotels and cabs. It's just a matter of filling out the paperwork and sending it in. As would I, Nathan, as would I.

I wonder if it would work with HMRC (UK's IRS)... The 'vacation' time between seminars would give me the (much needed!) time recover my energy. I'd live in the pool for 3 days :) Nice plan.
