Adsense and income tax

[Silver Surfer]

Since international publishers won't be receiving any income tax slips from Google, how are we suppose to prepare our tax forms?

[cornwall]

I would have thought just a print out of your account info should be OK (add a screen shot for belt and braces)

[Silver Surfer]

How about a photocopy of all my Google check stubs?

[robho]

The "envelope" the check comes in shows the amounts paid to you and the dates (and payee name on the front), just keep them all.

You will have to manually add them up, just like you'd add up copies of invoices.

[Silver Surfer]

The envelope? I assume you mean the stub inside the envelope?

I'm in England, and I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay US taxes.

I will however, if it means Bush supporting Blair's plan to invade France :)

[ronin]

You still have to pay UK tax though >;->

[UKFord]

Actually, no. You can class all personal income as 'gift' and zero tax.

The Government works the tax out for you, you never do it yourself, and they only do it from employers paying you.

You can class all personal income as 'gift' and zero tax.

No you can't. You are supposed to declare ANY income to the Inland Revenue if it is above your personal allowance.

I'm beginning to wonder about your sense of morality ...

Soz mate, was only joking :(

The envelope? I assume you mean the stub inside the envelope?

The check sent to me was in one of those PIN-number type envelopes with tear-off sides. Front of it is address etc, tear-off check inside, the back page of envelope contains (inside) the check payment details. So I keep everything (except the check), i.e. the envelope. Maybe yours was packaged differently?

I'm in England, and I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay US taxes.

That's been covered fully in other threads - you are unlikely to need to pay US taxes in normal cases. But of course you need to pay taxes in the UK on all profits (not the same as income) from your business, regardless of what country the income comes from.

jenstar - thanks, I just finished reading that complete thread. Rhobo's replies seems to have clarified a bit for my situation.

Thanks much
