What taxes do I need to pay on PayPal?

Question

Freelance

Hello. I am an artist, I want to earn money on a foreign trading platform. Money from there should be transferred to PayPal. I had never worked with him before, but I heard that you have to pay some taxes. Hence the question:
What taxes do I need to pay if the buyer transfers money to me for the service provided, and then I withdraw them to a bank account? I plan to earn no more than 15-20,000 rubles per month, and the frequency of earnings will be inconsistent (today there is an order, tomorrow not). This will not replace a permanent job, only a side job.
And, if I still have to pay some taxes, how is this done?
Thank you.

Answer 1

I had never worked with him before, but I heard that you have to pay some taxes.

You pay taxes not in paypal, but in the state where you are a tax resident.
If the site where you earn pays taxes for you, for example, in the USA, then most likely you do not need to pay tax at home, because, most likely, there is a double taxation agreement.

And, if I still have to pay some taxes, how is this done?

income tax or its equivalent.
You declare income and then pay taxes. You can do this on nalog.ru
If in a currency, then you still need to convert it and declare it at the official rate on the date of receipt of income.
You can also register as self-employed and pay 4% or 6% on each sale. (it's still better than 15% personal income tax)

’s just a payment system, you pay taxes to the tax office exactly the same as without paypal
