Nicely explained 👌🏻
Glad you liked it 😊
Thanks for this video, this is so helpful!
Really glad this video was helpful
Great to share your experience with youtube earnings in Germany. I was going to ask this on messenger
My questions:
1: what if I don't mention what I earn from youtube in Germany. I cash out that money back to my country bank account?
2: Can this be counted as a mini job for those who are on blue card?
3: I don't cash out youtube money until I get PR in Germany and wait till PR (is it a good idea)?
4: is there a limit of earning from youtube. E.g I earn €200 per month from it so with that I should register as company. What is the minimum limit?
Hey there, its great that you asked these important questions here.
1. If your primary residence is in Germany then you are required to mention every income in a German tax declaration. Any income not mentioned may be interpreted as tax evasion and can lead to trouble.
2. If you have your own channel then no, if you are working for someone else then it depends on the contract they give you.
3. When you get eligible for the youtube partner program you have to provide an adsense account. This account needs a valid id document, mode of payment (i.e. bank account) and residence verification. Once you reach the minimum payment threshold the payment is automatically sent to your bank account i.e. it is automatically cashed out.
4. There is a limit of approx 600€ you can earn per year from any kind of work/social service/selling products. After that you have to declare your income
@@ahsanfinance Hello, I was wondering... What if I record my videos in Germany then upload them when I get back to the UAE and monetize them normally. Is that a problem?
@Ahsan
Hi Ahsan. Thanks a lot for such great content.
I have a question may be you can answer here or with a new video.
I am a PR holder in Germany.
My brother has a IT services company in Pakistan. I want to start working from Germany as well for his company to get clients from Germany as well. So in this case do I need to register this work as a freelance work or do I need to create a small daughter company and register in Germany that does business with the parent company in Pakistan?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi there, well it depends. If you just want to work as a Freelancer you can do that if you are working for other companies as well. You cannot be considered a freelancer if a major portion of your freelance income only comes from 1 employer. As far as starting a company goes, it again depends on many factors.
You are really underrated 😔
Thanks 🙏🏾
Hi Ahsan! I'm an American waiting for my 16d visa and I am planning to move to Germany soon. I have a youtube channel that is very close to getting monetized. Can I continue my youtube there and have it monetized? Or should I just wait to get my PR before I apply for the monetization?
Hello there, first of all Amazing videos. Secondly unfortunately yes it seems that you might have to pause your Monetization for the moment due to your visa situation.
Hi sir,
I have YT channel in Germany, i started in 2020, got monitozed and eatned 70€ may be 3 to 4 times till date ... I have not registered... Kindly suggest how to handle this further
Hello, well if you do not get more than 600€ per year in General income per year (including: Private sales, Crypto) then its not a problem. But if you expect the revenue to grow, then you should register your business asap
Sir what if i make a UA-cam account in my sister id and with her bank account which is in india?
Unfortunately what you are proposing is illegal
I am a student of ausbuilding, if i get the authorization from my college then do i need to register my youtube channel before starting the youtube? And what if i didnot earn any money for 2 yrs do i need to register it and pay the tax?
You only need to register your UA-cam Business when you make money with youtube (adsense, referral links , sponsorships, etc)
Nice sharing keep up the good 👍✔️🌷🌹🌹🌹
Really glad you liked this video
Nice information
But if i earn money from youtube and my earnings are coming into my moms indian bank acc and she send me that money so is it a problem or loophole
What you are mentioning is not a loophole. It is called tax evasion. Please follow the law and properly register your income
If someone is on FRV... Then? Can He/She can register YT Channel?
Yes they can
Hi Ahsan!
Thankyou for the info. 1 Question.
If a person (Blue Card holder) having FB Business Page and want to register on his spouse name in Germany will be a ideal to not conflict with actual Job contract?
Hello, well as you are on a blue card you cannot have a business registered in Germany. If your wife is running the business then yes she can register it in her name (depending on her visa restrictions).
Thanks for the information. One question, this 1000 subscribes and 4000 hrs viewing requirement to be achieved from one single video or multiple videos can be commulated?
This requirement is for the whole channel. All the videos in the channel will be considered.
Should we continue uploading video in germany from UA-cam channel of other country.. i am not earning right now
I didn't quite understand your question
@@ahsanfinance how much will be the earning in Germany if my channel is monetized in home country as compared to channel which is monetized from Germany...what will be pros & cons ?
Tax ?
The monitization location does not matter. What matters is the audience location and the niche.
Thanks for your video. I have a question pls. I will like to start a UA-cam channel but I still have till October to apply for my PR. That is, I have to apply for PR atleast before January 1st next year. I don't know if I can still start it because I am not a student neither am I a blue card holder, or I should just wait till I get my PR. Kindly advice me pls
Hello there, as I mentioned in the video: There is no restriction on starting a youtube channel. It does not matter what visa status you have. You only have to be careful when you start earning from your channel which may take about 6 months on average. So I would suggest that you start your channel without worrying about it.
@@ahsanfinance thank you for your reply. I have another vital question pls. I heard that it is illegal to download video in Germany. My question is, can one download a video from a website which state that it is free to download. I hope you understand me
It depends on the license of the video. If its a youtube video it may fall under grey area but if its a movie or a TV/Web Series, it is most likely illegal to download it for free.
I checked the license of the website and it stated that all photos, sound and video can be downloaded for free to use. So it is not a movie or TV/Web series. I want to create a relaxation youtube video whereby I will not appear. Just a relaxation sound and a video. E.g Video of rain and it sound. So the website to download such have already stated that it is free to download and use. I just want to be sure if there won´t be any problem . I hope you understand what I am saying.

Thank you! could you please make a video detailing all the fees you need to account for when earning from youtube alongside your main job in Germany? (is it even profitable with all the pension and health insurance and what not payments?)
My upcoming video discusses some of these points. Make sure to turn on the notifications 😇
@@ahsanfinance thanks!! :)
Glad to help
Good info but make a video as freelancer (UA-camr OR Any other Freelancer such as Civil Engineer, Architect) and guide us about all taxes details (VAT, Trade Tax, Corporation fee, Income tax etc) which pay to different German Govt departments.
These things vary drastically depending on many variables. For example, are you working as a Freelancer along with a Main job? or Freelancing is your only job? What field are you working in? Are you registered under the kleinunternehmerregelung? the list goes on.
Thank you very much, Ahsan! By chance, do you know if it's possible to have a monetized youtube channel/other business registered in another country outside Germany but pay taxes on income here in Germany as a resident (in my case, currently looking for a job after studying permit, soon working permit attached to a company)?
Well it depends on the type of registration and country it is registered in. If your business is registered in another country then you might have to pay double taxes if Germany doesnt have any double taxation treaty with that country.
@@ahsanfinance thanks for the reply!
Hi Ahsan, thanks. If a housewife register a youtube channel, does that effect the tax class? Of the family
Assuming if she is in tax class 5 and registers a business as a Sole proprietor. The family tax class would remain the same 3/5
Great video! I have a few questions though. If I would start a youtube channel in my home country and start monetizing it there before moving to Germany would I still have to register a business in Germany? And what if I started the channel but wasn't elligible to join the partner program until relocating to Germany? And I was wondering if I started monetizing my channel before moving to Germany who I would owe taxes to after relocating to Germany. Sorry if this is a little complicated lol. I'm from the USA for reference.
It depends on the type of Work Permit you get in Germany. In some cases you wont be allowed to run a side business at all.
@@ahsanfinance I would be moving on a family reunification visa. Just wanted to know if I would have to change my country of residence on a UA-cam account I started elsewhere when I relocate to Germany or not.
On FRV you would be allowed to continue your UA-cam channel without any issues. You dont have to change the details but remember to take a look into the tax treaty for US citizens having permanent address in Germany.
can you make a video on jobs
I didn't quite understand, what kind of jobs do you mean 🤔
If one has 2 ( multi channel ) is it recommended to register one on wife name and one husband name ?? Will their be any tax benefit ? Or registering both on same person will result in high tax deductions
Its better to have under 1 name as you would have somewhat less paperwork. Either way the overall tax would remain the same in both conditions.
Hello bro
I have Italian resident card which is known as carta segorne and i am converting it in Germany through melding for which I'll get 1 year working card in Germany . Can i start and monetize UA-cam channel on such card?
Unfortunately I do not have any info on the Italian residence card and its equivalent in Germany so I cannot properly guide you.
Great information Ahsan bhai, I am in Germany on spouse visa.
Once my channel started playing ads, I also registered it as "Betrieb eines UA-camkanals" in my city.
Keep up the good work!
Thats great to hear
Hi I was just wondering how much it costs to register a business in Germany. Is there a monthly fee or a one time fee?
Is it possible to start and earn from youtube with aupair ,volunteer and ausbildung visa ?
You need special permission (from Auslanderbehorde) to earn from UA-cam if you are on those visas.
Hi Ahsan, I’m in Germany with work permit. My son, age 9, opened a youtube channel and he got millions of views and 50k subs. He is usually creating funny and gaming videos by himself. Is it possible to monetize my channel in Germany? Do I have to register as business or not for tax purposes?? Thank you!
May i ask what kind of visa you have?
Blue card!
Then unfortunately, you cannot register this business or monitize the channel in Germany.
@@ahsanfinance But later can we earn money from UA-cam in our own country?
Hello,im a new youtuber and living in germany. Im in asylum and i recently started my youtube channel . I make videos changing characters to real life using ai. I still dont get paid but if one day i hit 1000 subscribers and will be able to monetize,what am i supposed to do and where to go? Do i need to pay tax if i earn from youtube one day?
You will need to register with the Finanzamt if you get monetized and start earning from youtube.
@@ahsanfinance and do I need to pay tax? Or will it be depending on how much I earn
You will have to pay taxes on the income. However depending on your case if this is your only income you might not have to pay taxes. I recommend talking to a tax consultant regarding your specific case.
@@ahsanfinance thank you so much 😄
Glad to help :)
Thanks for this very nice and informative video.I would like to ask you,that can I earn money from UA-cam being in a Family reunification visa?Additionally my husband has PR in Germany. I am looking forward for your kind reply.
Yes you can earn money from youtube as you have no restrictions on the family visa.
Assalam Alaikum Ahsan bhai, After registering the GewerbeAnmeldung, if I change my address then what to do?
Then you would have to contact the Gewerbeamt and fill a form for this modification. If you move your business to the area covered by another authority, you must deregister the business with the previous authority. And re-register your business at the new district.
@@ahsanfinance Thank you vai for your reply.
@@mozammelquddus5021 Glad to help :)
@@ahsanfinance Vai can you please make a video about how we can register our address with our electronic residence permit online? If you know the process that is.
I have some questions regarding this topic. As i am in Germany on residence permit with my husband and we are here for nearly 9months so can i start an UA-cam channel here? Does this require any permission from anybody? And another question is making video in public places and outside is legal in Germany?
What kind of visa do you have?
@@ahsanfinance yes my husband has eu blue card and he works here
Well your husband won't be allowed to start a youtube channel on his blue card. I am assuming you have Family reunion visa?
@@ahsanfinance yes I have family reunion visa so my husband will not do this but am I allowed to create UA-cam channel? That is the confusion I have but I didn't get satisfactory answers
Yes you are allowed to start a youtube channel on Family Reunion visa (i.e. Register a Business). This playlist will help you with the process (ua-cam.com/play/PLVB2evCN51NISeqdiwzogQVmLpXcRlrV8.html). As far as filming in Public goes, you are allowed but people might ask you not to film them when you are recording.
Can you do UA-cam channel on student visa
Like my channel is monetized and earns well but next year i would be going to Germany on student visa
So would it affect to me?
Also I do freelancing on upwork
So is it possible to do from Germany too
Please reply sir
In order to earn from a Business or work as a freelancer you would need special permission from the Government as well as your University.
@@ahsanfinance But all of my UA-cam account and freelancing accounts are linked with my Indian Bank account over here
So next year I shall go over there
So how it would affect the government of Germany or violate it
If everything is connected in India?
Because as a Legal Resident of Germany as a student you are not allowed to work as a freelancer. And even if you have everything connected with your Indian account you will have to declare all your income in a Tax Return.
Can a housewife start a UA-cam video of husband having ICT visa?
May I ask what your visa status is? Because If you start a channel, you will have to do it in your name.
Well I am new to do so can you just clear a doubt. What if I make the youtube channel in my home country and get paid in the home currency, but just operate it living in germany, does it still need to be registered here as a business?
I think a legal expert might help you here but as far as i know you will definitely have to declare your foreign income in a German tax return the following year
