In Minecraft I sell ranks with real money but my friend says I need a small business to be able to have real money. Does a website count as a small business?
It's not about the website, it's about doing business. So you have a trade.
If you regularly generate income with it, you must also register a business. Whether you are a small business depends on your sales.
And whether you sell it on a website or not doesn't matter. It is important, of course, that a proper legal notice must then also be available and, best of all, corresponding terms and conditions.
Of course, it would first have to be clarified whether it is even legal to resell this content from the game? I can't judge that.
My buddy say a small business can trade real money in the game.
You have the so-called profit intention. A trade must therefore be registered.
And how the hell am I doing this now
Thank you
It depends on how high your sales are. Very roughly: If your turnover is in the "hobby area", a few hundred euro per month, you do not need a business registration.
You can also voluntarily register a trade yourself. That would make sense if you pay taxes. Then you can deduct the costs of the registered trade from the tax.
You go to the town hall to the business registration office and tell what you are doing and pay about 20 euro. Then you will receive proof that you have registered the trade. And then you go to the tax office and fill out the questionnaire for tax registration. Okay, you can also download it, fill it in and send it to the tax office.
Is a website a small business?
The moment you run a business, you must also register it. You run a business when the activity is self-employed (i.e. You are not bound by instructions). If the activity is intended to generate long-term and long-term profits or if the intention is to generate profits and if you participate in the business activity (i.e. Sell goods or services).
Since all criteria apply to your actions, you have to register a trade.
To register a small business or trade you have to be at least 18 years old or your parents have to register this.
A trade license is only given to those who sell something via an online shop, save data and have the relevant content, such as payment methods, on their website. (E.g. Tebex / Buycraft)
Minecraft is not one of the compulsory earnings, as these are rarely recurring and will hardly exceed an annual turnover of 17,000 euro.
To register a business, contact your local office / city office or whatever it is called with you. These will give you information, as will your local tax office.
