Payments and payouts

Taxes

Appsinity pays you in USD and converts it. It does not withhold, and it does not issue tax documents. Your filing obligation is entirely yours.

What Appsinity does

You receive money with no documentation attached. That means the records that matter are the ones you create.

Records to keep

  • A screenshot or export of the earnings card at every payout request — there is no CSV export, so do it yourself.
  • The date, amount and method of each request, matched to your bank or PayPal record.
  • The listing slug each payout relates to.
  • Any verification correspondence.
  • A conversion rate note for each payout, since the amount received in local currency is the rate's output.
Watch out: Because the dashboard's Download analytics control is hidden, nothing on Appsinity produces a statement. An accountant working from a single screenshot at year end is the common failure here.

Obligations that are yours

The exact treatment depends on where you are and what you are — a sole developer in India, a company in the EU, and a US LLC all differ. This is not tax advice; it is the list of questions to ask your accountant.

  • Is ad revenue business income or miscellaneous income where you file?
  • Does goods-and-services or VAT-style registration apply to a digital-service income?
  • Is a foreign-currency receipt taxed at the conversion rate you actually received?
  • Do withholding rules apply to payments from a non-resident payer?
  • Does the payout threshold delay recognition across a year boundary?

If you sell inside your build

Then you have a second, much larger obligation: sales tax or VAT on digital goods, which typically needs per-country registration, and invoices. Appsinity's model does nothing about it, and the store's financial declaration is the only place the fact is recorded publicly.

Frequently asked questions

Does Appsinity send a 1099 or equivalent?

No. Nothing is issued.

Should I register as a business first?

That depends on your jurisdiction and volume. Ask before the first payout rather than after.

Is GST applicable for an Indian developer?

Commonly yes for digital-services income; the answer depends on registration status and turnover. Take your payout records to a local adviser.
