What threatens a freelancer with receiving money on paypal and withdrawing to a Russian account?

Question

PayPal

Actually a question in a subject? What legal consequences can come?
With this Russian paypal, now you can’t withdraw to an American account.

Answer 1

The same as receiving money for poison, kiwi, and so on - with subsequent withdrawal to a bank account.
Paypel under the new rules is a banal Russian payment system, subject to standard rules.
Or, simply put, in general, you have to pay taxes on this and, with regular activities, register an individual entrepreneur and a business account, but with small amounts, this is unlikely to be of interest to any of the authorities. Although they can put it on stream and then it will affect everyone, even with 1 kopeck.

Answer 2

There will be no consequences. It is not the currency that matters, but the amount of the transfer in ruble terms. If in the region of 600,000 rubles, then banks are required to report it to Rosfinmonitoring. If the amount is less, then you should not worry.

Answer 3

Everything is quite simple - it threatens with the need to file a tax return in the form of 3-personal income tax (until the end of April next year) and pay the same personal income tax - 13% (or less if you think about tax deductions - housing costs, medicine, insurance, children's education, buying a car, etc.).
Of course, you can use two Russian words "maybe" and "probably" and wait - it will arrive or not, the option still has a chance of success, but from year to year the chance will fall. It will probably not come as a revelation to you that the state wants (and will certainly) form individual taxpayer profiles and see how your expenses and incomes match.
