Hello,
I have a question regarding the partner program. From what age can one operate it? What about taxes? Up to what amount does one not have to pay taxes for children/adults?
Thank you very much,
Ali

Dear inquirer,

Thank you for your inquiry!

I would like to address your questions based on the information you provided:

Unfortunately, it is not entirely clear from your description what type of partner programs you are referring to. I assume you are talking about the usual forms of so-called affiliate marketing.

Regarding the tax aspects, the general principles apply. This means that you must generally report the activity to the tax office if you generate income from it (as part of your income tax return).

Furthermore, the general tax allowances apply. According to § 32a EStG, each individual generally has a tax allowance of €7,664. This amount can increase further, for example if the taxpayer has children or is severely disabled.

To calculate the exact allowance, a precise understanding of the situation would be necessary, which cannot be definitively answered in an initial consultation. It may be advisable to consult a tax advisor.

I would like to point out the following:

The legal advice I provided is based solely on the information you provided. My response is only an initial legal assessment of the situation, which cannot replace a comprehensive examination of the circumstances.

Adding or omitting relevant information can lead to a completely different legal assessment.

I hope my explanations have been helpful. You are welcome to reach out to me through the follow-up option on this platform or via my email address.

I wish you a pleasant Monday evening!

Sincerely,
