The Finnish Tax Administration (FTA) recently issued a reminder notice stating that the common practice of hiring Santa Claus to give presents are required to be reported (> EUR 1,500 this year).
Let’s not forget: Santa Claus must report the value of gifts distributed on his tax return, this year and next, less travel expenses! Does this mean he should keep his list, checking it twice?
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all!

Dear Keith,
The German Superior Office of the Santa Claus has published a General Order addressed to all and every subject:
The entire Federal Fiscal Administration is shut down until the Day of Saint Neverone (In German: „Sankt Nimmerleins-Tag“).
Good idea. Good fake news!
Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!!!
Michael
