People I have to program in front of my own online shop, and yes you do not need to point out which programming or scripting languages I need. Mine is just because I want to program an online shop where you can buy Minecraft plugins, and also sell them myself, now I need a company or is that a private person?

For this you have to register at least (Austria) a small business or sole proprietorship

Goes online in minutes. Don't forget to report this to the tax office and immediately make an appointment with the sva where you can clarify this straight away so that you initially have to pay a maximum of the minimum accident insurance. As I said, Austria

Then you are a company.

From certain conditions (e.g. A certain turnover per year) you also have to register a business, with all advantages and disadvantages.

It is best to ask the tax office or a correspondingly specialized lawyer what exactly these are for regulations.

Then you are a company. Probably a sole trader.

You probably need a business registration.

Do I need a company for this or is it a private person?

According to Section 14 of the Trade Regulations, you must register a trade as soon as a commercial activity begins.

You take up a commercial activity in accordance with § 15 paragraph 2 of the Income Tax Act if:

the activity is independent (acting independently, not bound by instructions)
the activity is sustainable (the activity must be geared towards long-term and long-term profit)
there's an intention to make a profit
is involved in commercial transactions (e.g. Delivery of goods and services)

Since all criteria apply to your project, you have to register a business.

No website programmed before, HTML and CSS are markup and style sheet languages. You program when only the back end with e.g. JavaScript, PHP etc. (I had to hold on as a nerd)

As a self-employed person with an annual turnover of less than 900 euro, you do not have to register a business, as far as I know that would still be private sales, practically like on Ebay. Everything about it must be registered as a business because you have to pay tax on it. I think from the official side you should register it in any case because you are selling a virtual product that is unlimited available. Usually the tax office is not interested.

However, if you open a sales portal as described by you, this is usually a business. Means notifiable.

I would advise that you only sell your own plug-ins and stay below the 900 euro, strictly reportable, but I have found that the tax office is not that fussy… Unlike usual

When creating a website, you also have to take into account that you are required to provide imprint information One-half.

I think so too, but I have the experience that if you have not registered as a business, you will be overlooked if your annual turnover is less than 900 euro.

From 900 euro

edit: (YEAR)

Probably, but legally it doesn't do that.

That's right, to be on the safe side, that's just what I've experienced so far

But I would still strongly advise asking this question to the tax office.

Better to be on the safe side

Completely correct something can go wrong quickly and it is not that much effort…

Thank you for your answer. Of course I know that with front-end languages like HTML, CSS I can't really achieve much in relation to a shop, of course I can do PHP and Javascript very well.
