I would like to collect donations for my Minecraft server. Do I need a trade and must I pay tax? Is GoFundMe suitable for this?
And how do you imagine that?
Do you want to be charitable and issue donation receipts?
It's not for a charitable purpose.
I would like to finance a part of the server.
That's why I'm asking
And why should you donate money to you there?
You can go to the street and ask for money there.
These kind of "donations" are normal operating income and not comparable to donations to charitable organizations.
You are running a minuscule server and leaving it only to the users themselves to determine what they are paying you as a cost contribution.
As long as you take less than 17.500, - € per year nothing happens in the sales tax.
In the income tax it should be less than 9,000, - €.
Then you have to start calculating.
Because I do not sell expensive ranks like other servers such as GrieferGames…
In addition, the server already has a medium range.
9.168, - € * ;-)
Right. But since anyway the operating expenses come down, it's only about a size, from which one should take care.
In income tax, it should be less than 9,000, - € together with all other income.
You can't accept donations because only nonprofit organizations can. What you get there are normal commercial income. That is why this is to be indicated as a trade.
