Is that enough to support the site? How does that work with tax? Are those people considered paying users or is it like tips. Do you pay tax on tips?
- RaulOnRails 4y agoIn a way it is, but I haven't done anything in the past few months, so it kinda faded. Made $250 from "buy me a coffee" this year, and yeah, I paid taxes on them. I basically send an invoice for each tip I receive. Talked a lot to my accountant about this, and she said that if I don't invoice the people sending me these tips, I'm doing fraud, and can pay huge fines once I get caught. I think only as an NGO you're allowed to receive tips w/o paying taxes on the amount. I have an LLC, so I have to invoice every income.
- gardenhedge 4y agoInteresting - thanks!
- gamblor956 4y agoIt sounds like you're in Europe? They require invoices for everything there. If you're in the U.S. though...you need to find a new accountant. You don't need to invoice every transaction. It certainly is advisable, for accounting/auditing purposes (much easier to track and verify income), but it's not mandated.
