Well I don't think this movement by Paypal to request the PAN card identification is unfair. Its absolutely a great move and it should not bother most of the Indians using Paypal.
I have a question to ask the thread starter. How much per year you earn and deposit money in Paypal ? Is it over Rs. 3 lacs ? If its not then there is no harm in adding the PAN identification in Paypal. Even if its more than Rs. 3 lacs then you should not hesitate to pay the taxes as its there for a reason.
Yep my annual income from online sources is about 2.4 lacs, so yeah i guess I'll be paying taxes from hereon
No mate, its just a matter of time. He will be eventually caught and then pay late fees etc and believe me, late fees is very high for Income Tax.
Haha yeah i guess so? But i wonder if affiliates earning from online sources should pay taxes...
So what to do ? use AP ?
alex you're from India! :o BTW, AP seems to be a really decent option, never tried their bank wire feature though
