What tax obligations apply to mentors?
Mentors are responsible for fulfilling their own tax obligations based on their country of residence and legal status (individual, freelancer, or registered business).
As a mentor earning income through iknowly, you may need to:
- declare mentoring income in your tax return
- issue invoices where required
- pay income tax or business tax
- comply with VAT regulations (if applicable)
iknowly processes payments through Stripe but does not act as your tax advisor. It is your responsibility to understand local tax laws and reporting requirements.
If you are unsure how mentoring income affects your tax situation, consult a qualified tax professional. You can review your earnings history in your mentor dashboard for reporting purposes.
