Hi guys,
I started working about megapu.sh and they traffic is really well, but I have issue with them. I don't know it's legit company, paying taxes etc.
I suppose in every country you have tax laws...If you have a company, you want make costs...and paying for traffic is your company cost, but you need invoice for that.
I receive information that:
a) they don't send any invoice
b) they can't send any proof that I payed them any money - only screen from the account
In Poland we have the law like... "source tax" if you are paying money for offshore company you have to show to our IRS certificate of residence...if not - you have to pay "source tax" which is 20% from money you already paid to offshore company.
...they also can't send me certificate of residence.
I am wondering...if this will be legit business...they'll don't have any issues with invoicing and any proof....
I just afraid about being sued for money laundering or something like that.
If you are paying using Paypal then you can use Paypal payment as an invoice.
Poland as well and had similar issues but I am fairly certain my CFO is getting some invoices or something...
Then again, my business entity is based in Estonia and the invoicing there is much more straightforward than here in the Middle Ages
Megapush is in Russia, that's a whole different world when it comes to doing business, no pun intended. Same goes for EU and USA. EU is obsessed with invoices, especially some parts of it, my home country (slovakia) is the same ... the authorities want an invoice for everything and the people who execute tax controls are hard to explain some things to. Like not having invoices for the payments we've done. Little do they know that in some parts of the world, people simply dont give a damn about invoces as they can simply use the account statement to prove they paid something ...
Anyways, this is what I do and you can do the same. In case a company is not willing to provide an invoice for you and they are not from the EU, simply make the invoice yourself. Just make sure the sums match the payments you made and so does the company info. It's not cheating in any way, you paid the money, it has left your account, you can prove that... invoice is just a piece of paper and "self invoicing" is pretty common anyways.
BTW: megapush will issue an invoice for you in case you deposit more than $1000.
Thats exactly what we do too - issue invoice ourselves. As long as of course you're not cheating on this and/or can prove it was paid - you're good to go.
PS. Best thing I did in my life is hire an in-house finance/accounting person (from the Philippines). There is literally nothing I hate more than working with invoices and all this dogshit (I much prefer cleaning dogshit than doing invoicing FYI) and it's just such a godsend after you teach him/her the basics. Don't put this off.
