It is April and the time for income tax filing for Malaysians. Do you know that your Internet/blogging income is taxable?

I have been paying income tax for years since I became a full-time blogger. While some other bloggers may argue that the Internet income is not taxable in Malaysia. My dear pretty accountant says the different.

She actually did a research to confirm that Internet income is taxable, and publish an article(Chinese) in 2008.

In short, “As long as you are making money in Malaysia (e.g. online at Malaysia home), your income is taxable in Malaysia.” And, “Every income is taxable, either local or foreign.”

As a full-time blogger, “blogging” is my personal business. Therefore, any expenses on the “business” is tax deductible, such as web hosting, Internet access fees, computer, online services, etc.

You may refer to the tax deductions list at Problogger.net.

If you need PRO accountant to help you, you may contact my beautiful accountant. She would be happy to help you, if she is free.

After @Google is on Twitter, now Google @AdSense is on Twitter too!

@adsense does not get as many followers as @google. It has only 500+ followers since March 24, 2009 till now.

For AdSense publishers, AdSense Twitter is a must-follow. It gives useful info and tips related to Google AdSense.

Off-topic: I wonder if the Google AdSense stickers still available or not?

How much you earn from Google AdSense per day? $1? $10?

I made $1000 today! Here is the screenshot:

Amazing, isn’t it? You can do it, too!

Visit Google AdSense Generator and enter the amount you want to make with AdSense, then you will get a AdSense screenshot with your desire earning. That’s it!

OK, it is not real but it is good to motivate yourself to achieve the earning target. Print it out and paste to somewhere you see every morning.

Good luck!

P.S. Seriously, how much you make per day in Google AdSense?

Google AdSense blog announced a good news for AdSense publishers whose payment exceeds the maximum western union payment amount. Now, Google AdSense will divide up the amounts and send multiple Western Union payments.

OK, this might not interest every AdSense publishers, but it is a good news for AdSense publishers who were not able to receive AdSense payment via Western Union due to the payment exceeds the maximum Western Union payment amount in our countries.

For Malaysia, the maximum Western Union payment amount is USD$2800.

My AdSense payment exceeded the maximum amount and I received AdSense cheque by DHL Express Mail, which cost ME USD$24 for the delivery.

I had updated my payment method back to “check” wait for several weeks for my handsome AdSense check. Then, the check would take a month to be cleared by the local bank…

I miss Western Union payment method so much!

With the new Western Union payment update, I have switched back to Western Union payment method because, if your payment exceeds the maximum payment amount, Google AdSense will split the payment and send multiple Western Union payments to you.

If you’re sent multiple Western Union payments, you’ll see multiple ‘Payment issued’ lines on your Payment history page, each with the corresponding MTCN associated with it.

Now, AdSense publishers like me can switch back to the FAST and FREE Western Union payment method!

Muacks! I love Google AdSense!

(Too bad, my Google AdSense’s December 2008 payment has been issued as “check”…)
