Greetings!

There is an idea of an online service, the essence of which is the purchase / sale of content between users. The peculiarity is that all payments will not be made directly (buyer -> seller), but in a chain (buyer -> service that receives a percentage of the transaction -> seller). The question of taxation and the form of a legal entity for a startup arises. What options?

I would advise you to initially work as an individual entrepreneur, this will help you get into the intricacies of taxation, more clearly understand what and how, and when the project grows and the turnover becomes larger, I think you yourself will understand that the moment has come when you need something more than IP.

if the turnover is not large - then IP

IP "answers" with its own property. So, if you go into the minuses, then the bailiffs will take out everything of value from your house, but at least a minimum of reporting, you can pull it yourself.
And LLC "answers" only with its authorized capital. But the reporting is decent, especially if you are a VAT-nickname, you will need an accountant.

I advise you to consult on this matter on the accounting forum (the same clerk.ru).
Regarding org. forms are better than IP, because the money is yours after tax of 6 or 15% and 16k/year in funds.
It is hemorrhagic to withdraw money from an LLC - not earlier than once a quarter, i.e. taxes minimum 6% + 9% on dividends.
I don’t know all the details of your scheme, BUT, the same glanders, in order to act “white”, withholds 13% of personal income tax from those who receive donor sites (residents of the Russian Federation - individuals). Can you imagine what hell is going on in their accounting department?

It all depends on turnover. Initially, IP is enough, and if the turnover is good, at least up to 100k. bourgeois, it is better somewhere on the islands IMHO.

It would be nice to have a business plan. When all the data is sorted out, it is easier to decide on the form of organization.
PS I'm sure IP will do for a start.
