Withdrawing money from Patreon, do I need to pay taxes in Russia? Will they check where my money comes from?

Question

Monetization

The second time I quit my job, I don’t have enough nerves to work for companies, I want to draw Art for my own pleasure and make a profit with Patreon so that I have enough money at least for food, paying for an apartment, etc. subscription + additional buns for those who pay more). But then I thought about whether they could find fault with me from the tax service ... do I need to pay taxes in Russia from donations to Patreon? Will they check where my money comes from? (Is there any difference if I get $200 a month or just theoretically $1000+?) Tell me more please!
*oh yes, maybe you also know, the tax authorities know you just get profit from the Patreon website and you already need to provide them information from which account on your own? or can they get the information from which Patreon account themselves? (can’t you achieve anonymity here? maybe I will have two accounts?)

Answer 1

PayPal no, for now,
use Pioneer and pretend to be a felt boots
to track receipts to the account the tax tool has , bothering depends on amounts and budgets

Answer 2

Also interested in this question. So far, I have found an answer from a lawyer on the net that income from Patreon should not be taxed, because Patreon users are individuals who, in fact, voluntarily donate money to creators (also individuals), and the transfer of funds from individuals to individuals in our country it is not taxed (although now the state is already thinking about how to start taxing Patreon, and even the usual small amounts donated to the DR). So if you receive donations from individuals on Patreon, then you are not required to pay tax in our country. Another question is if you are supported there not by individuals, but by representatives of legal entities or legal entities (for example, in the case of some software or game developers). So who knows, a moot point.

Answer 3

The probability of falling under the supervision of our fiscal authorities is very minimal. Patreon is not very popular among our "legislators" and therefore you can sleep peacefully for now. The main thing is not to develop Adalt topics. For this, you can get not only a fine. In general, don't bother - withdraw $50 - $100 a day and no one will pay attention to you!
