Is a gray-market remote job worth the tax/legal risk in Slovakia?
I’m currently living in Košice, Slovakia, and I have two work options.
The first one is an official warehouse/loading job with a salary around €1000/month.
The second option is a much more attractive online job from a Ukrainian company in the adult/18+ industry. The income could be around $500–3000/month, but the company seems “gray” and probably doesn’t pay taxes officially.
I’m worried about possible legal/tax issues because I live in Slovakia and would probably receive money through PayPal or crypto.
How risky is this realistically? Could it create problems with banks or taxes if I receive regular payments? Is it worth taking that risk compared to a normal official job?
I’m mainly looking for honest advice from people who understand taxes, banking, or international remote work in Slovakia.
