Statement of Business or Professional Activities: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how self-employed streamers use this form to report income and claim necessary business expenses for their digital work.
This is the official form used to report the money you earn and the expenses you incur if you work for yourself.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for self-employed streamers. If you operate as a freelancer or a solo business owner in the streaming space, you are required to use this form to declare your professional activities and ensure your business is compliant.
What you get
By using this form, you get the official mechanism to report your business income and your professional expenses. It serves as your primary tool for documenting the financial side of your streaming career, ensuring that you account for both the money coming in and the costs required to run your digital operation.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee to file this form, the real cost is your time. You must dedicate significant time to tracking every single receipt and transaction related to your work to ensure your records are accurate and ready for when you file your taxes.
The catch to know
The biggest risk is failing to maintain organized records. If you miss or lose receipts for essential equipment—such as your cameras or microphones—you will lose out on the ability to claim those specific deductions, which means you cannot use those costs to reduce your taxable income.
How to apply
- Maintain a detailed log of all income earned from your streaming activities.
- Keep every receipt for equipment and other work-related costs, such as microphones and cameras.
- Consolidate these figures to complete the required business tax form.
- Follow the instructions provided by the issuing agency to submit your completed information.
