Taxes & Responsibilities

Taxes & Responsibilities

Coaches on Elevate Golf act as independent professionals and are responsible for managing their own taxes. Earnings from Tips are taxable income and must be reported according to the laws of the country in which the Coach is based.

Elevate Golf does not deduct income tax at source. Transaction records are available to help maintain accurate accounts. For documents and summaries related to payments, see Receipts, Invoices & Taxes.

Each Coach is responsible for complying with local rules, including income tax, self-employment contributions, and any registrations that may apply. Requirements vary by country, and additional declarations may be needed for side income.

Players see the full Tip price before purchase, with any applicable taxes included in that amount. There are no hidden charges added later. If obligations are unclear, a qualified accountant or tax professional should be consulted.

This approach keeps responsibilities clear and supports trust across the Elevate Golf community.
