I started with Twitch and got a total of 50 euro donated in the last few days. Tax documents can be printed out on Tipeeestream. What do I have to do with this 50 euro? Where do I have to state it?
You don't need to do anything. As long as you are under the tax exemption of 9k euro net / year, it's a hobby. Theoretically, you would also have to register a business as a small Youtuber / Twitcher.
But most of the little Youtubers / Twitcher I know don't do that either, in order to avoid problems with child support, maintenance, other subsidies from the state. It doesn't itch either. It only gets dangerous when you get over 9k euro / year.
Doesn't mean anything?
"What I do not know will not hurt me." 99.99% of the time, nothing will happen with such small amounts. What do they want to do to you You are not committing any tax evasion because you are well below the tax-free allowance.
As soon as you have a commercial intention with your stream, which is the case in this case, you are obliged to register a business.
You are also obliged to report this income to the tax office.
No, hobby has nothing to do with the basic tax allowance. Hobby is always there when there's no intention to make a profit. And no, it is also dangerous if you had to register a trade and the tax office found out that you did not do so.
Yes but how to communicate
Annually in the EÜR e.g. About ELSTER.
And then all of this retrospectively for your business.
If you don't have a trade, sooner or later you will run into huge problems.
About 50 euro? Thousands of streamers would have to have problems
Yes also because of 50 euro. Even if it's 1 euro.
"Thousands of streamers" just don't know. On the other hand, you have now been informed & if you want more clarification, you can also read everything via Google.
But it is enough if someone reports you anonymously to the tax office. If you want to take the risk for yourself, it is your choice.
So not in the tax return
Again… As soon as you follow commercial income with your stream, you have to register a business & report every income & expenditure to the tax office once a year.
Are not.
And if you donate all of the money
How do you mean?
I want to donate that to SOS Kinderdörfer
You can't deduct the donations as business expenses, but under certain conditions in your income tax return as special expenses. https://www.finanztip.de/spenden-als-sonderausgaben/
