I have a question for European contributors, those ones who pay taxes in EU.

I have just moved to EU (Portugal) and I don't know what to start with.

Now I have day job, but since I already have stable income from stock sites, I want to quit and work as a private individual.

It's not a problem to get a private entrepreneur's licence here in Europe ("Recibo Verde" here in Portugal)

My question is how shall I report my incomes from microstocks? I will not be able to provide neither agreements with my customers or certificates, nor other documents signed by customers, showing how much money I have earned.

How do you deal with this? Do you provide Tax forms sent to you by Stock sites once a year? Should this be a paper Tax form or PDF version is enough?
What documents you provide to tax authorities?

I would be appreciated for any information

Hi, I live in Sweden and have my own company under which photography is an activity. The stock income comes into company account through paypal. The paypal reports go to my accountant and he calculates taxes etc correctly per Swedish law. I also forward him the yearly tax related statements that I get from any stock companies. I believe that if I was doing it as an individual, I could still do it in similar way, but its hard to know without checking with tax office.

Tax is a complex issue and varies by country. You may be best advised to check with Portuguese tax authorities, I think.

Good luck

EU countries have their own tax laws so advice needs to be "Portugal specific"
