It occurred to me that if Michael wanted to send me a check, I do cash accounting of my business, so if he does accrual accounting, he could get the money "off his books" when he writes the check (which I presume he could do), and I wouldn't receive the funds till I cashed the check (which I know I can do).
europe stopped using paper checks a few decades or so ago. unfortunately the only acceptable way to get money off our account is by wire transfer. i heared that the tax authorities have a hard time to accept anything else.
international transfers take time though so we may get by with sending the money off on dec 31st and you receive it a few days later.
lets move this to private discussion between you, michael and me.
