you have to pay taxes on all income up to and over something like £3600 in the UK (I know you're not from the UK). Not sure about other countries, but it doesnt matter what "profession" it is. if its regular income through work carried out, whether "freelance" or not, you have to pay tax on it. Check your country's minimum earnings before tax. In england you still have to submit your financial data, even if you didnt earn enough to pay tax on it. Again, not sure about how other countries operate, just trying to explain the financial situation on paying tax. I assume most countries operate in fairly the same kind of way.
 
Well, you do need to pay the taxes. There are slab (slots) depending over income for which you have to pay fixed % of tax, just like others said.

No matter you do freelancing, you need to pay it, its a business, at the end of the day. Its much better to pay tax then get raided by Income Tax department and paying huge fine, and not to mention, also your value as a person goes down amongst neighbors, relatives or society.

i never said i dont pay tax. but am not gonna pay 30% of my money.

i have an accountant who makes it like 1/10th of the amount to be paid as tax ;)

and yea, my parents do pay tax, but they are at 20% level only.
 
And yeah, that guy who said getting money in Saving account doesn't need to bother, WRONG.

If so was the case, every big earner, every big industrialist, every common man would get the money in savings account and no one would pay tax, its not like that.

Definitely YES!

as per current tax limits if your income is over 2,00,000 INR then you have to pay taxc at 10% from 200,000 to 500,000, then at 20% from 5,00,000 to 10,00,000 and after that 30% beyond 10,00,000.

Also according to Indian Income Tax Act 1961, any payment you receive in your bank account for which you do not declare a traceable source (which you obviously cannot in case of paypal) shall be included as income from other sources.

So according to those limits if you receive over INR 2,00,000 and have no deductable expenditure allowed as per IT from that income, then you are liable to pay tax.

Bdw its definitely alright if you do not pay them tax, they won't do anything but just after the assessment is done for the relevant assessment year they will send you notice that you haven't paid the due tax along with the interest which is 1% per month and penalty of rupees 5000.

Even then you can ignore them and not pay taxes, they won't do anything at all but only seal your bank accounts with your PAN number and after few days you will have some local police officers coming to arrest you if tax due is a bit large amount and they will release you after that once you pay all the tax and penalties (dont forget the extra bribe, our IT deptt. doesnt work without that).

thats it!
