Some countries have found a way to tax people that earn online like programmers and graphic designers. Have you ever paid tax for money made online?
 
They are trying to here in the states, not going to be fun if they do.
 
Does that mean there is a particular tax that you pay when you withdraw your online earnings?
I think that it's taken indirectly from the charges you pay those companies you use for example with PayPal and then PayPal gets taxed by government and part of the charges you paid them is used to settle the government's taxes.
 
I declare my online income from taking paid surveys and other earning opportunities in my tax return's as self-employment income, so I am less likely to get in trouble with the government for not declaring self-employment income.

This is a good move since the government of your country don't tax income from self employment heavily.

Seriously, I would never do that. I'm waiting for our government to do their worst.

The government may bother less at this particular moment. That is one of those things you have to enjoy when your government don't care about how much you make online.
They are all going nuts over the upcoming elections, they hardly care about anything else now.
 
I don't make enough for it to be taxable, but we'll see when I decide to try a job using the internet for sure that will be taxed at the income level, both by the state and country.
 
I haven't paid any tax on my online earnings. But tax laws change depending on the country and jurisdiction. Basically online income is taxable.
