Upwork and taxes?

Question

Freelance

Good afternoon. For the last 3 days, there have been posts and questions about paying VAT on the toaster and on the Habré. But there some legal red tape begins, papers and terms that are incomprehensible to me, and all this applies to an LLC or individual entrepreneur.
But for me, a person without an individual entrepreneur, with the withdrawal of money in rubles to a local bank, what does it concern? Do I need to fill out any documents? And in general, how legal is it to work like that?

Answer 1

since you work in the black completely illegally and, moreover, with complete fawn for the tax and police, the payment of VAT does not apply to you.

Answer 2

Questions about paying VAT

I think that this is not about VAT, but about personal income tax.
It is the duty of any individual to pay the (H) tax on (D) income of a (F) physical (L) person.
If you do not understand this, go to any tax consultation (usually for a fee).
Or to the tax accounting dream. You will be told how to pay personal income tax and prepare a declaration (and whether it is necessary).
I will not give advice that all income should be legal, this is so clear.
The tax office may be very interested in where the money comes from on your card.
Especially if you are not officially registered anywhere, and even if you are, they will also be interested.
This is not widespread, but here it is impossible to say whether you are lucky or not.
Completely different people, with different incomes, can get to such checks :)

Answer 3

If you systematically receive money for FL, they can show doing business without registration. If you do not pay personal income tax, then also non-payment of taxes. If you pay personal income tax, then the likelihood of getting into the field of view increases even more, although receiving money from abroad attracts attention in itself.

Answer 4

Sergei Goryachev wrote above about the obligation to pay taxes.
I will add that under the current legislation, if there are systematic payments within a certain period (3-6 months, if I am not mistaken) or their volume exceeds 2,250,000.00 rubles in aggregate for the entire time from one source, then this is already a violation of the law about entrepreneurial activity.

Answer 5

But what about upwork, you can’t withdraw to a pioner card and from there to a mastercard or visa, of any of your local banks? There, according to the idea, VAT is taken into account in the transaction itself, or am I misunderstanding something?
