Influencer Taxation. Tax solution for influencers and entrepreneurs.

According to speculations the influencer marketing is expected to become a €15 Billion business by 2022. Influencers are considered entrepreneurs who are building businesses and multi-million-dollar income. These large income amounts have caught the attention of the Tax authorities internationally. The future is expected to bring radical changes in the taxation and income inspection of such individuals.

 

Influencer Taxation.

If you are considered an influencer then you most probably work as an independent contractor. That means you charge companies as self-employed individual. Under this status you are obliged to pay income tax as self-employed in your country of origin. These large amounts of paid sums have caught the attention of the authorities and earlier this year the Competition and Markets Authority of the UK published a report for this matter. According to the report, any form of reward, including money, gifts, free services or even product freebies is subject to taxable income.

Although the influencer taxation cannot be fully controlled by the authorities worldwide, the income tax inspectors are becoming more and more suspicious and investigating more influencer cases every day. Influencers can be spotted and investigated any time for their income at the time being.

Our Tax consultants strongly advise that any high paid influencer or entrepreneur, plans and declare all income to avoid any future complications and inspections from the authorities.
