FediThing<p>International sales tax advice needed!</p><p>I have a tip jar for my accounts and websites ( <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@feditips" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>feditips</span></a></span>, <a href="https://fedi.tips" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">fedi.tips</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> etc) which I mainly use to cover their costs. One of them is through ko-fi, the other is through liberapay. **Income tax is not an issue, I declare what I get to my country's government as part of my tax return.**</p><p>The problem I have is that my payment processor is now informing me I might (or might not) have to keep track of sales tax on donations:</p><p>-I'm not selling anything, there are no perks for donors. The services will happen regardless of whether anyone tips me.</p><p>-It would be incredibly complicated, it would mean registering with dozens of different countries.</p><p>-The total donations from each country are tiny, usually a few euros per year. The largest one is a few hundred per year.</p><p>-I'm not earning enough to have an accountant.</p><p>-I can't find any advice on this situation!</p><p>Can anyone help?</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Tax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tax</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taxation</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/SalesTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SalesTax</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/VAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VAT</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/KoFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KoFi</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/LiberaPay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LiberaPay</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Accountancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accountancy</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Accountants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accountants</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Money</span></a></p>
