Collect donations for my 3-month-old child?
Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if it's legal to ask for money on a donation website for my daughter. My girlfriend and I would like to move and need some furniture. Is this legal? If so, where can I collect donations, and if so, what do I need to keep in mind? Do I need to talk to my bank? Notify the tax office?

Yes, if everything is properly registered and taxed.
Yeah, you have to. Collecting donations for your own enrichment is a commercial activity. For this purpose, you must submit the trade declaration to the municipality, § 14 GewO, as well as the questionnaire for tax electronically to the tax office, § 138 AO.
After the end of the year, you will have to submit the income tax declaration, EÜR and VAT declaration electronically to the tax office and thus tax everything.
Donations would be tax-free only if the public utility was previously recognized by the tax office. But she won't do that with "I need more money" because that's not non-profit.
It would also be useful for a commercial activity to open a corresponding business account.
Why don't you clink that you need money for you through the move?
