Income Tax Responsibility
Edurs must have a balance of at least €200 in their Toedur account before they can request a withdrawal. This threshold is in place to help minimize transaction fees and ensure payouts are processed smoothly.
- All income earned through Toedur is taxable in Germany and must be declared in your annual tax return (Einkommensteuererklärung).
- Earnings should be classified as miscellaneous income (Sonstige Einkünfte) unless advised otherwise by a tax consultant.
- If mentoring is a secondary activity (e.g., students, Blue Card holders), it will be added to your total taxable income for the year
