Hey collect for SOS Children's Villages in the next stream. Do I have to pay tax on the amount? Nobody I know privately does the streaming

Ka

Yes, the income is taxable.

You can then withdraw the donation, of course with the corresponding donation receipt.

Lots of people do things, that doesn't mean that these things are right…

An

But nobody notices or

Ka

Nobody will notice when you kill someone if you do it skillfully enough.

However, you can see LIVE on the Internet how you generate income… Stick to the rules if you don't want to have any problems, the tax office doesn't have any fun!

An

So is it enough if I include a donation receipt that I have issued with the taxes?

Ka

Yes, and you have to state the additional intake.

Of course you've registered a trade for your Twitch activities, haven't you?

An

No, because it should be a one-time stream

Ka

Oh, that's right, if you are out and about on a commercial basis, then of course that is allowed… How could I forget that…

An

Excuse me but do you have any idea about the Twitch guidelines

Ka

First, yes, I stream myself

Second: What does German trade law have to do with the Twitch guidelines?

An

If there's no intention to make a profit and it is purely charitable, a donation receipt from the donation recipient is sufficient

Ka

I can see you're fully on the subject. Show your new question too:-)

I'm out of here… Do it, but if not, then when the authorities get on your roof:-)

How nice that you took up my provocative question😂😂😂
