Hi All. Does anyone know how the whole tax situation works? Im a one man band and am registered in the UK, i have had a look on the dev center and there is a button for tax and that has a green tick on it. What i dont know is whether we pay it? how much is taken and how etc? Thanks for the help.

    To be honest that is a whole diff issue outside of iphone dev.

    I would just search your gov website. the info should pretty straight forward.

    Here in the states if you make under a certain amount you can just report it as "additional income" on your regular taxes.

    Or you can always join the whole taxes are not enforceable movement and do nothing.

    Same here in Australia, you can earn upto an specific amount and it's just considered a hobby income (no tax). However when you start earning in excess of the amount specified it must be declared to the tax office.

    Good question though, because I have not submitted to the app store (Yet) what payment options can you select to be paid by - direct bank deposit, paypal?

    i swear i remember reading that if certain forms werent completed then apple could hold another 30% to cover tax, but if the forms were completed they give you your full 70%?
    @toby - payment options, not sure! I presume they just give you a direct bank deposit but they can take up to 90 days to pay you for that months earnings. You need to also make over $150 for that month or it rolls over.
