B permit- self employed- tax implications

To keep myself mentally engaged and in order to feel like I'm contributing to our economic situation (however small that contribution may be). I'm thinking of selling some of my handmade handbags, wallets etc online by setting up my own website and possibly utilising a website like etsy.com

I've been bought across by my partners employer on his B permit. Does this permit allow for me to sell online? What would the tax implications be? If it grows into a reasonable sized business (ideally) would this cause issues with me being in the country?

Obviously I'd be starting out (very) small, but I've had a number of (qualified) people mention that they would to see grow into a larger brand and some have asked to stock it in their shops if I grow substantially.

Does my B permit status allow me to do this?

Re: B permit- self employed- tax implications

Hi

I was hoping you maybe able to help me, I saw your previous post regarding tax implications for a small business and I find myself in a similar situation looking for this type of advice.

Could you please let me know if you have managed to get any further information or suggest where to start looking into this.

Many thanks and good luck with your business!!

I am not knowledgeable on permits.

The tax aspect is straightforward. Your net business revenue is added to your husband's income and taxed at the marginal tax rate. You must also pay social security contributions.
