The tax office is asking about money from abroad. What do I show them?
The problem“I got a letter about income from abroad. I sell online through a platform. What counts as proof?”
Show the payout statement and the self-billed invoice for each payout. Together they prove what you sold, the fees, and what reached your account, from one buyer: the Merchant of Record. How that income is taxed depends on your country and how you are registered, so give both to your accountant.
Why are tax offices asking?
What do the documents show?
- PS-Payout statement
Each sale with gross, fee and net, the payout fee, the bank transfer fee, and what reached your bank.
- SBI-Self-billed invoice
Your sale of the products to Aristokrates OÜ, one line per sale, fees beneath, total = what you received.
“Give both to your accountant.”

How do I prepare?
- Download both PDFs for every payout: Balances, then Payouts, then Statement and Self-bill.
- Match each payout to your bank statement using the bank reference on the statement.
- Ask your accountant which form applies; Serbia, for example, runs a freelancer portal with quarterly reports.

Can you sell from your country?
