Company and tax

# 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 now

## Why are tax offices *asking*?

North Macedonia’s Public Revenue Office counted **70,000+** people receiving **€577 million** from abroad in 2025 and sent letters about it. It says there is no double taxation if you can show tax paid abroad. [Bankarstvo.mk, 15 April 2026](https://bankarstvo.mk/ujp-nema-nov-danok-za-prihodi-od-stranstvo).

Your documents

## What do the documents *show*?

1.  PS-**Payout statement**

    Each sale with gross, fee and net, the payout fee, the bank transfer fee, and what reached your bank.

2.  SBI-**Self-billed invoice**

    Your sale of the products to Aristokrates OÜ, one line per sale, fees beneath, total = what you received.

Step by step

## How do I *prepare*?

1.  **Download both PDFs** for every payout: Balances, then Payouts, then Statement and Self-bill.

2.  **Match each payout** to your bank statement using the bank reference on the statement.

3.  **Ask your accountant** which form applies; Serbia, for example, runs a [freelancer portal](https://frilenseri.purs.gov.rs) with quarterly reports.
