I just started with twitch. However, I do not earn money with it. I'm not even Twitch Partner. Register this week as a trade. Do I have to pay anything or only if I make money?
He registers the whole as a trade to tax his eventual merits decently. What should he pay if he does not earn anything? Where no revenue, there's nothing to tax…
Do not want to take any chances. It is in the law that you have to register a side job as a business, if the intention is to make money with it. And I have no personal interest in fines and back payments. Since ignorance does not protect against right.
Once you start making money, then yes. Otherwise leave dat.
It's not a problem to sign up for the stream as soon as you know you have more than five viewers per stream and you could actually make money from it. There are so many Streamer, you will go down anyway, if you have not already built a name before.
Sure, you can do whatever you want, but there's more to a trade license than you think.
I know that, you repeat me. It is still nonsensical to register now as a trade.
Explain to me please the disadvantages that arise if he deserves nothing and still has a business registration… Maybe I know too little, learn to do so:-)

First of all it costs you only the trade registration fee of approx. 25 to 40 euro once. You should register your business as a "business as a sideline".
How old are you? If not yet of age, then the whole business registration is damn consuming: https://www.klicktipps.de/gewerbe3.php#minderjaehrige
What is a trade anyway? How do you recognize a commercial activity?
These questions are answered quite quickly after looking at paragraph 15 (2) of the Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz, EStG):
the activity must be autonomous (self-responsible action, not subject to instructions)
The criterion of sustainability: the activity must be long-term and geared towards making a profit
Profit-making intent: a trade is aimed at generating revenue
Participation in commercial transactions (for example, delivery of goods and trade)
Have already received useful answers 2 days ago what the "profit intention" concerns: No profit intended?
Will revenue remain below expenditure (not a profit), and should it stay that way in the future? Then
you have no "profit intention", and the whole thing is only a hobby for tax purposes. A registration as a trade or freelance is not necessary.

PS: for singles, the basic tax allowance in the tax year 2019 currently 9.168 euro!
Incidentally, there are also tax-free income among traders.
So from the first euro, the revenue taxable - what you mean is the basic tax allowance of currently 9,168 euro in the tax year 2019th This basic allowance but each single - whether as an employee or trader…
