I'm not sure how taxes/licenses etc work in other countries so I don't know how useful the tax section of this video will be for any non-american viewers. sorry! But... I can't believe it's been over a year since I filmed my last art business video! I've learned a lot about taxes + manufacturing, so I wanted to compile it into a video for you all!!
