    Hi there

    If Google pays me and I'm based outside of the U.S, do I have to pay tax in my own country?
    How does it all work?

    Many thanks in advance
    CHEERS :)

    Only US Adsense Publishers have to pay tax if they are using Google Adsense programs. They will have to enter their valid tax identification no in the adsense accounts setting before a payment can be released and the account remains in hold. Other country doesn't need to pay :)

    Good Luck.

    You need to claim your earnings and need to pay Income Tax if your income is above than limit/year... This is applicable in any country.... A few months ago, Amit Agarwal from www.labnol.org posted a valuable post in his blog and he clearly stated that adsense publishers dont need to pay Service Tax in India... Only need to pay Income Tax if total earnings above than limit/year... Also he said, people can claim their adsense earnings as "Earnings from Website".. Moreover, if those publishers appearing as "Self Employed", they can deduct their phone bill, internet bill, etc. etc. in tax....

    Thanks for the info guys.

    So what do you mean 'Only need to pay Income Tax if total earnings above than limit/year' and do I know what the limit/year is, if I am a non-us citizen?

    You need to pay taxes at your own country, not on USA.
