@DianneN No it is not. But PayPal deducting such huge amount is shocking. It's a miscalculation or some confusion.

The tension building up between two nations might further hamper the global economy. But regarding this post, I think there is a big confusion or misinformation that needs to be clarified. I doubt if it is a glitch with his PayPal account.

but the specific issue is, how much gets transferred to your bank from paypal if you received $5 from mylot? do you get $4? $3? $2 or just $1?

I am interested in knowing the details too. :) As to economy, from what I have learned folks in managerial and marketing positions are losing jobs as companies are trying to cut costs.. such folks are paid more, so more savings when they are axed. Cement companies in particular from my acquaintances some software companies too. International companies too. Freshers come at low cost...seniors would have received decent increments across a period which in these times are unsustainable. As to costs...last year I bought two regular pair of clothing for dad within 3000 from Raymonds. This year, I spent 2275 for just one pair. So yeah...that was surprising. Companies have increased mark up because sales are sluggish, sustainability of the supply chain depends upon that mark up.

@msdivkar I am not sure whether GST is applicable on Rickshaws.When it was introduced, I thought it would such everybody into the system like some Whirlpool. But I see so everything as business as usual... there are no bills issued to me by any shops. Only services sector is caught I guess. I don't know. PayPal has been sending the GST thingy.

You are very correct. Indian job market has always been difficult for freshers, it has become worse now and even seniors are in trouble due to closure down of so many firms. As about GST at the time of its introduction so many small suppliers like that of lays and similar consumer products moving with their rickshaws had to stop their business as they could not understand the complicity of GST.

@vandana7 I have not come across any deduction from PayPal other than their fees which has been there earlier too. GST is good in long run but will definitely be a bit of trouble in initial phase. We have to give it some time. And I think you should definitely ask for bills. That's your right.

What may be the reason, but it right that our economy is slow down. Consumption in rural area is not good one. One more reason behind it that with GST now it is not easy to do business in black marketing.

But our Mylot earnings are not anyway connected to GST. So why blame it. Looks like some misinformation or glitch in his PayPal account which he should clarify. Also GST is good and is a corrective measure. It will have some hiccups in beginning but will be better in coming times for economy.

i've observed from indian mylotters that you can't keep money in your paypal accounts, that they get automatically transferred to your bank accounts. the reason i suggested that post to other indian mylotters is to clarify how much gets deducted when you earn $5 from mylot. are you left with $4? $3? also does it depend on what type of account you linked to your paypal account? ex. bank account, credit card, etc? does it depend if it's a personal account? business account?

I can't say things about types of account. My PayPal is linked to my savings account. I get the full money from Mylot while from other sites a nominal fees is deducted. Around 20 cents or less from $5. This one comes as a shock to me.

The claims by the poster appears on higher side. The ultimate slab in GST is 28% which does not seem likely here. Most likely rate of tax here is 18% which is less than $1 but quite high. I always felt that GST rates are quite high and could be one of the reasons for slow down in india. Although world economy was slowing down Indian economy was on buoyant mode and has come down drastically after demonetisation and GST. The high rate of GST Could be one of the reason for that.

@myklj999 GST tax rates slab are 0,5,12,18 and 28. Maximum rate of 28% is only on luxury items. Basically GST is a sales of Goods and services tax not an income tax so I fail to understand how it is applicable here.

I have given a long reply to Vandana. I have put my points there. PayPal deducts a nominal fees and transfers the money in our bank account. In case of Mylot, I get full payment without deduction. But this is way too much... $ 3_4 out of 5. Might be a glitch in PayPal account. This is not related to GST at all and so no blaming GST for everything wrong.

@myklj999 We are taxed only if we cross a certain earnings limit. And that is not applicable with online earnings as we don't make much here to be taxed. For Mylot, I get full money. For other sites, PayPal deducts a nominal fees like 10-15 cents out of $5. This discussion is shocking. Might be some misinformation or a glitch with PayPal. Calling PayPal and clarifying it will be good.

In the Philippines, our experiences are different from other fellow Filipinos because PayPal fees and fees of each bank here are not the same. Taxes is NOT an issue for us but only PayPal CONVERSION/FEES and BANK FEES. We have many options to withdraw from PayPal so my fellow Filipinos might experience different from mine because it all depends on what options we use and the amount we withdraw.

PayPal Philippines changed the minimum withdrawal last year. Withdrawal to Credit/Debit/Prepaid Card (Visa, Mastercard, etc) and Withdrawal to Bank account are different but I do not know the FEES since I earned nothing last year (LOL) and the last option I used was GCash which is INSTANT transfer and zero fee but CONVERSION is LOWER compare to 'money changers' rate. When I started using PayPal our minimum withdrawal was $10 for both options (card or bank) but FEES were different. During Bubblews time I used to withdraw PayPal funds to Card (Visa) and deducted with $5 fee every transfer. I didn't know that fee was around $1 (P50) only when we transfer PayPal funds to my bank account (Unionbank) and the processing time was quicker. Other banks had higher fees and longer processing time based on what I've read. Imagine that. Now I am thinking, maybe PayPal India or banks in India made changes too which caused this confusion to Indian users because some already experienced the effect of it and some haven't experienced it yet.

It is not the case of changes. We are taxed only if earn quite handsome to come in tax slab. Yes we do get a deduction of PayPal fees. In India, we can not hold money in PayPal. It is automatically transferred to our bank account. For Mylot, I have never been deducted any fees and for other sites it is just a nominal fees for few cents. Even the super rich in our country pay upto 30-35%. This calculation shows more that 70% which is shocking. Our tax system is not cruel.

That's why I made a separate post. We do not have a cruel tax system. We are taxed only if we earn good enough to come under tax slab. There is no tax for poor and people who earn less. Also the percentage of tax deduction depends on your earning. The maximum tax deduction for super rich in the country is 30-35%. His miscalculation shows more than 70%. Also $5 is too less to be taxed. Paypal might deduct a nominal fees for few cents.
