Probably depends on where you are. Some countries on paper will require you to pay taxes for any income you get regardless of where it's from. But they really won't take the time to look for each and everyone's source of income, so it would be up to you if you'll declare and pay taxes on your own. I know a lot of people who don't pay taxes and they aren't even in the crypto industry. How much more if you're getting paid in crypto. Again it's going to be up to you if you're willing to declare and pay taxes. I personally wouldn't want to considering how taxes are being used by people in power.

And yeah, I also wouldn't trust AI for accuracy when it comes to tax questions.
