The Government of Russia is going to implement a special tax for advertising in private blogs. It is interesting to get to know the practice of other countries. Are there any taxes for bloggers in the USA and other countries?

there were taxes in France for people that ran advertisements on their blogs/sites. The tax people wanted Google to supply a list of people that had revenue from adverts – I left before that was settled.
Most countries have an income tax, not everyone declares how much they actually make.

@andreysolovey I’m by no means a tax or accounting expert, but I presume the only tax that bloggers have is simply income tax. I include my revenue from clients, advertising, ebook sales, and affiliate income on my tax returns every year. I’d be interested if anyone knows of any others though.

Thank you for your responses, @kristi-hines and @richardmclaughlin!I live in Ukraine and we have no such initiative so far, but as for Russia I know that many bloggers are complaining and thinking that it`s unfairly because they already pay a lot of taxes as citizens.

@andreysolovey but if you make any income off of a blog, why shouldn’t it be taxed? income is income.

@richardmclaughlin I agree, but the question is what kind of tax it is. If it is a fixed sum tax and if it is too large many of bloggers can pay more than they make Add here expenses for the hosting, domain name and others to maintain the blog…

Dear Andrey, buy for your blog the domain with extension .com, .info, .biz (not .ua). Place this blog on the hosting, which has servers abroad (not in Ukraine). Close your information in Who is with Privacy. In this case, you pay nothing.
