I am preparing to start my YouTube channel next year, but I was amazed to find out that although I could use a Virtual Address for an American Company, my monetization via AdSense would have to be mailed to me etc. could not be paid via PayPal.

Help! Anyone have a YouTube Channel and not get paid in the mail?

Also, while I am at it having a business with an American address would make that an American company for taxes even if your taxes use your Brazilian address for your residence?

P.S. I plan on going to the USA once or twice a year, so it would not be the end of the world, but.....

You want to be paid in US Dollars for content created in Brazil....

Your Brazilian subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. can make payouts, in Reals, on bank transfers, to your account.

Hence why you want a VPN. Meanwhile you want your deposits in US dollars @ the Bank of your choice, and the only choice you have is Stateside.

I am not sure on the tax bracket in Brazil, but aas a CNPJ MEI, you have your tax advantages. And your banking account might pay a whole lotta more in interest rates than your US counterpart.

You can have your cake and eat it. In Brazil. You can't have anyways you want it always.

@sprealestatebroker Thanx for the reply....it seems like most people passed up on it. so thanx again.

I am not familiar with the "Alphabet" sentence, so if you could clarify the organizations.

I used to work for Turbo Tax and I know how complex taxes can be in English, so I really don't want it to be a brazilin based business and have to do them in Portuguese and yes I would like to be paid in dollars. I think the two ways of being paid are by check and EFT which may include PayPal. If so I am fine with that.

It would just be an American Headquartered business with production done in my Brazilian glass enclosed You Tube studio.

Thanx,

PS. i am not sure what the VPN would be for, but I have EXPRESS VPN for my PC, I PHONE and Laptop for HULU, Disney+ Amazon Prime Video, Peacock TV, Netflix and Apple TV+
