Admob and taxes

[yiankos1]

Hello my friends,
I have my apps about 6 years and I am individual. All these years I have a monthly income from admob. I have a question, do you need to establish a company in order these money be "legal" or you just add them at annual income as individual in order to pay annual taxes. As I read at Google admob help, if you leave in EU except Ireland, Google pays that VAT.
Does anyone knows what am I supposed to do?
Thank you for your time

VAT and income tax are two different things.
VAT automatically pays Google for you, you have to pay income tax yourself as a private person.

So, I have to mention at my individual annual taxes as an income? I don't have to establish a company in order these money be "legal"?

It is not necessary to start a company.

I just add my admob income as extra income and pay personal taxes on it. The UK has an online tax system for you to enter your figures and then pay your extra tax amount from your additional income. I even claim bacck any computer purchases from my income. (I've even bought an Oculus rift and claimed it off my tax as I'm interested in VR game dev).

Here on Brazil
If you get more than 50k as an individual, you automatically have to pay the fees and penalties.
individual = 27,5% (month)
company = 6% (month)

my accountant said a few years ago that if your income from apps stay below or around €100/month then it's not worth declaring it as additional income
as I would lose already 30 or 33% of it.

with < €2000/year you probably stay out of the radar for fines.

you don't need a company/tax number since you can declare it as additional income as individual.
