Stream donations aren’t really a transaction, though. The streamer is under no obligation to even respond to a donor, and certainly there is no employer/employee relationship.
- sandworm101 6y agoIs the streamer a listed/registered charity? If not, then donations are presumed to be taxable income.
- amscanne 6y agoIt’s more complicated than that. A donation to a streamer is much more like a “tip” than a gift, and tips are clearly taxable despite not having any obligations associated with them.
