sorry, I am young so I never really worried about this. But If I was to make enough to be a small income, would they put income taxes on it? thanks

    It depends on law in your country. But most of developers (even individual) have to pay taxes in their countries.

    In the U.S. I think once you earn $7000-9000 a year (not sure which) you have to pay taxes on it. Anything under that, and you are exempt. That's how it was 2 years ago anyway. They change tax laws like babies diapers.

    I know you do in the U.S., it sucks but it keeps the IRS off your back.

    if you earn money...you have to report it to the government... whether you owe/pay taxes depends on how much you make over your allowable deductibles/expenses...

    Here in Greece no one checks. I have made 17K and I haven't payed anything

    and probably is that one of the reasons the greek economy is falling apart and the rest of the EU was giving greek money.

    I dont think thats a thing to be pride of not to pay taxes

    HAHA in the US you are supposed to claim all income. Even Craigslist sales, Ebay, Garage Sales, Etc…

    People don't claim a lot of that stuff because its cash stuff and its not a business. But Apple is going to report the money they pay to you so you would be wise to report your income. Now there are rule for exemptions if your income is under a certain level or you are under a certain age. but you will have to talk to a tax professional to find out what is legal and What is not.
