My Minecraft server is now running since 1.12.2018. We also sell ranks through which we have so far taken 65 euro. Now I have only very late of the whole subject that a Minecraft server needs a trade needs (I'm a minor). I would like to sign up for a trade retrospectively. Now I wonder how high the penalty will be or the fine? Or would I come away with a warning, since there are really minimal amounts?
A trade you have to believe I only start to buzz from 2000 euro a year, do not worry.
Since you are a minor, you should involve your parents in the business transactions.
Hope I could help you.
A trade can register your parents, but with such small sums you do not need something like that. If you are paid for babysitting you do not need a trade directly.
But I believe that to be able to sell something at all you have to be fully capable of doing business either from age 18 or you ask for full ability to work with the help of your parents. (If you want to sell without parents)
I think in your case, it's enough if your parents say that they agree with what you do there.
! I'm not a lawyer and I'm not sure if that's what I'm saying.
This will depend on the agent. Actually it does not work. But it may well be that the clerk does it for a few weeks. He has discretion. I do not know what that is about the turn of the year. Theoretically, he could also impose a fine for late business registration - but he also has discretionary power. Although the maximum amount is 1000 Eur - this is very rare and rather intended for extreme cases. At about one month and so little turnover, I would think that the most likely is 0 Eur and that in the unlikely event of a fine it would remain double digits (below 100 Eur). This is of course no legal advice and I'm not a lawyer or something.
No, you must always register a trade in a permanent self-employment activity with an intent to profit. But there are also exceptions: e.g. Freelance professions
No, you can also sell things that belong to you with limited business ability. It only requires the consent of the guardian and may not exceed a certain amount.
In this example, one could still argue with hobby as intention in my opinion.
In fact, profit-making intent is almost always assumed if you could make a profit. Even with small websites with few visitors, this is often assumed, if the operator advertise there - even if he makes it only hobbymäßig and the profits not even the Webspacekostendecken. That it runs badly does not mean that there's no intent to profit.
From when there's no intention of profit / hobby is difficult to demarcate. That would probably be the case in the example, if for the number of players / expected number of players / expected revenue completely oversized servers are operated and thus the assumption is obvious that it is not about the making of profits, but is spending on the hobby as To deduct losses from taxes. But if it is proportionate, it is likely that there will be an intent to profit in the event of losses.
However, I'm not a legal expert, I just had to deal with it.
Okay thanks, again something new learned.
The trade law knows no allowances!
Correctly.
