If you run a website that generates revenue, do you need to be zoned for business?

@jespersh had an idea that could make some money, last thing i want is to upset the government lol

Where I live in Switzerland you can earn $2000 tax free per year. For everything above you need to launch some sort company and pay taxes. Or you set up a letter box company in Hong Kong or other tax heaven.
Google it 🙂

@heyheni right on, yeah i figured id ask here first 😃

@segfault0xff a third option would be shell companies that employ you for a fee and they do the payroll for you. They are usually very usefull for freelance gigs since it allows you to bypass the hassle for setting up an own company.

@heyheni one man operation, payroll is much simpler then 😄

@jespersh no inventory or foot traffic, but I'm not sure how internet business is governed. Could be tricky laws.

Here in the UK at least, it doesn’t matter.

You can implicitly operate as a “sole trader”, but you have to be mindful of at which income threshold you have to start declaring.

I work from home, through my own limited company, I don’t have to be zoned as I’m not taking the public at the address and I’m not producing anything like food etc - though it’s probably against the terms of the local council or what have you 🤷‍♂️

As with all things like this, you’d be best seeking professional advice, a lawyer or an accountancy firm will be able to help there.
