Register income from hobby = business
Hello,
I wanted to know what it is like when you stream as a hobby on Twitch and generate advertising income there through the affiliate status and possibly receive small donations, whether you have to register a business right away?
The expenses would be significantly higher than the income.
Twitch only pays out the income from advertising from 100 euro, so this would not be regular either.
Any incurred income would only be there to finance the hobby and not to make a profit.
Does a business still have to be registered?
Tax return is clear.
You want to make a profit to finance your hobby. What you do with your winnings is your business. You have to register it first.
If no profits are made, there's no need to register a business. You don't have to make a tax return, why is the tax return clear?
