Ask HN: How do you keep up with taxes for international sales?

3 pointsby tuackerover 13 years ago
I've just taken a look at taxation for software sales. I wonder how anyone can keep up with the legality of it all.<p>For example I was looking if I (in Austria) would have to pay taxes in the USA if I sold something using the Apple App Store and how things change if I sell software from my own website. Finding any information about this stuff seems impossible without paying someone. Something that isn't cheap for someone just starting out.<p>Are there any resources online I haven't stumbled upon yet or is paying someone to look through this maze the sole solution?

I know nothing about taxes in Austria, but my point of view over here is that you would simply be earning income in Austria from a US company. You pay Austria taxes on income earned in Austria.<p>I am in the US and get affiliate commissions paid from an Australian company. This does not subject me to Australian income taxes.<p>You may be imagining things are more complicated than they are.
