Illegal business on the Internet - Art. 171 of the Criminal Code. What threatens?
What could be the worst case scenario if I make money on affiliate programs, but don’t make out and don’t pay taxes? What will I be for tax evasion?
Depends on two factors. Firstly, from the amount of your income. Secondly, from the investigator’s decision on how to expose you;) Are you a tax evader - in this case, income tax on individuals (Article 198 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), or are you an illegal entrepreneur (Article 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). By the way, if you are afraid of the totality of these two crimes, do not believe it. Such a combination does not exist, the Supreme Court of Russia has already spoken on this subject. Either one or the other. Otherwise, every thief would be attracted not only for theft, but also for non-payment of tax on the stolen.
Most likely, it will be Art. 171 of the Criminal Code. If you are interested in maximum responsibility, then the situation is something like this:
Income is taken into account for the entire period of “criminal activity”. But if it comes to Part 1 of Art. 171 (up to 6 months) - this is a crime of minor gravity and the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution is 2 years. If it’s already two years since you work legally, you can sleep peacefully.
If, on the other hand, they are involved under Part 2, Article 171 - then the statute of limitations is 6 years.
