App Store - receive money

    When we were just starting to deal with the issue of creating applications for the iPhone / iPod Touch, the issue of legalizing the receipt of money was acute Yabloko only send them to a bank account.
    We registered the account on an individual, but, in connection with our interesting legislation, the problem is absolutely relevant for company accounts.

    Everything described below applies to Ukraine. In other countries, as far as I talked with developers, life is easier and things are better, but I won’t say for sure, because hands did not feel.

    So, there are 2 main options for opening a foreign currency account to receive money from abroad by SWIFT transfer: an enterprise account (state of emergency, LLC, OAO - no difference) and an individual's account (private individual).


    Advantages of the first:


    • the ability to pay taxes less than 15% of personal income tax
    • with PF issues are resolved similarly to others related to receiving money
    • everything is white, clean and wonderful


    Minuses:

    • Signature / Seal required
    • receipt must be confirmed by an act
    • the payment note must include the contract and act number
    • the inability to receive dollars on hand. Only interbank sale


    Arrived. To beg Apple to make an exception for itself and conclude normal contracts, to sign each transfer is unrealistic, it’s easier to collect the rover already.

    Therefore, we move on to point two.

    Individual account


    Opens in 5 minutes, a card in a couple of days on hand. Further, everything will be described using the example of ProCredit Bank. This is not advertising, I’ve just been serving there for 2 years and there are no complaints.

    When I asked how they would look at constant SWIFT transfers from the USA to my account and what limits on the size of the transfer, at which they still do not knock, start financial monitoring, I received the following (numbers in hryvnias):
    1. up to 100 thousand lump sums they are not interested in my person
    2. 100-300 thousand and I'm talking with my manager about the translation
    3. 300 thousand and more - a conversation with the site manager


    According to them, they do not transfer data to the tax.

    But there is one point - in the note to the translation there should not be any mention at all that it is somehow connected with entrepreneurial activity, due to the fact that an individual does not have the right to conduct it itself.
    However, selling your games / programs on the App Store is not entrepreneurial activity, but royalties are royalties on copyright /

    By that time I had already heard that Apple was not making notes and decided to take a chance.

    After the first translation, I was already calm - the note was, but contained only absolutely unintelligible information. To be completely precise, it contained product codes and the amounts earned from their sale minus 30% app store. Further contained the same.

    Conclusions: working in Ukraine with the App Store is possible, but fraught. Because from these arrivals you are required to pay another 15% of personal income tax.

    Any questions to Wellcomes, I once suffered from this myself, I am ready to clarify and help.
