There is a heated debate whether online earning should be taxed?In my own opinions the answer is no.
This is because the government should tax only where it has lend a hand.If the government can provide the internet for free including free cybers,then it can have a right but as long as it has done nothing,there should be not taxation.

In most countries they are supposed to be declared as income so you will get taxed.
Don't get what you mean by government lending a hand...if all income was only taxed because the government lent a hand we'd have no income from taxation

@kiff00027 My opinion - that you should follow the laws that are laid down in your country. If you need to pay tax then pay the tax - if you don't need to pay the tax, then don't.
It's not a hard concept really!

@kiff00027 If that is what the law of your country states, then you should pay it - even on peanuts - otherwise, you will be committing taxation fraud
