Do i have to pay tax ? [India]

[ukonline]

Hey there !
I am from India , and have opted for full time internet marketing after college.
I actually got a mail from PayPal regarding some IRS and they asked me to review it.
I actually received over 200+ payments in 2-3 months but not over 20,000$ and PayPal was kinda curious about that i guess. I am not sure.
Currently i use my brother's PayPal account to receive the payments and had been receiving over 500-800$ / month ( i.e., upto 40,000 INR) max in a month.
Am i eligible to pay tax or is it just fine ?
Please help.

Thank you

Yes, you'll have to pay income tax. Contact a good CA who knows how to handle online payments and you'd be good. When I started earning through IM, I had a tough time explaining affiliate marketing to my CA, and ultimately I had to change my CA.

You will need to pay and yes my CA knows about affiliate marketing, which is good...I make it a point to pay my taxes in advance.

If your annual income is more than INR 2.5 lakhs, you need to pay tax. Anything above amount 2.5 lakhs will be taxable. Do not neglect , Paypal India submits each and every transaction to RBI. Its very simple process no need of CA just go through Income tax India website you get all information.

Government does know about this all if I am not wrong?

Guys they know everything if you are working as freelancer all your income will be taxed in other sources and if you doing it as registered business then it will be taxed as business income. There is no special formula for every income.

@OP you need to pay tax just get a lawyer and file your return in other sources income.

Government does know everything, Overseas transaction 100% they track.

OP Just file your income tax returns now its very easy you can do everything online without the help of CA. Just you need to put your bank statement and mention your source of income. To save tax, attach your various insurance policies, major expenses details like home rent, car loan, home loan, home rent receipt, car insurance which can say major taxes. But you need to file the income tax returns. If you are doing it on your brothers account then he need to mention the same.

Just file your income tax. You can make some deductions such as business expenses to make your tax bill smaller. Just ask your bookkeeper for help.

Well i have been working as an full time internet marketer since after college (i.e., March) and since then i made around 2.5L upto now. For an average i am making around 45-50k/ per month and i'm worried now ! Because i know nothing about tax thing or anything else ! Plus the way im earning is all through by reselling digital goods. I am not sure if they even know that and how it is all processed.

Thats the problem with us, we are too much afraid of government and tax department. CA makes us more afraid. If you can earn online then you can surely learn how to file tax online within an hour.

Just you need to mention your source of income and pay the taxable amount.

Yes ! I will learn that , and my source of income is (I sell digital goods on twitter and get paid for it , usually reselling process) Example - Buying it for 2$ and selling it for 15$ or more.

That's how i am making money.
I usually earn like 30-40k or sometimes 20-30k per month. It all depends on the work done .
Plus the PayPal i use is of my brother's.

Any help regarding this ?

If your income during the past financial year has exceeded 2.5lakhs then you fall in the taxable slab. For example, If your income was 3.5lakhs. then your taxable income is 3.5-2.5=1 lakh INR. From this taxable income you can deduct your expenses. I guess this is how it works. Verify with someone who knows the taxation and then you are all set to file your own taxes.
