The one point I don't completely understand is the tax debt: Wouldn't a failed business, no matter how ridiculous, be a complete write-off?
Maybe the problem is that he has to tax each fiscal year independently, so a tax debt in 2023 from successful freelance work would not be diminished by a failed "business idea" in 2024.
My sarcastic answer is that it’s not a write-off because he’s not already rich.
My honest answer is that I don’t know, because I don’t know shit about taxes.
