Hello everyone,
I want to become a freelance translator besides my studies in Belarus to earn some extra money. A German company has contacted me to translate documents for them from time to time. I already asked them these questions but they said they unfortunately couldn't give me legal advice.
I have a couple of questions: -Do I need to register as an IP? And how does that work? Do I also need to pay taxes even as a student? -Are there other options than registering as an IP? I'd rather not do that because you have to deal with a lot of tax and legal stuff I'd rather not deal with.
I would love to hear some advice from people with a similar situation!
