[tpm] Cross-border contracting

[Digimer]

You *really* need to speak to a certified accountant. These are not 
small questions and the answers have non-trivial legal implications. You 
should not rely on the advice of lay-public for this, no matter how 
otherwise-talented the giver of advice may be.

If you don't have a CA, I can give you the name of my CA. Alternatively, 
ask anyone in business who you trust for their CA's contact information.

Good luck and congrats on the contract!
