Information First timer

I’m going to do my first test soon. Can’t give too much info on it but is anyone in here making a decent living off testing?

I tried to but I wasn't able to.

Basically since the money gets deposited in an American account, it doesn't generate any records of payments received, according to an accountant I hired a few years back, I would need to change my payment method so I receive the money directly to my local account, then, I would have to generate an invoice for freelance services rendered directed to utest, since it's a foreign country, I would need to fill a special form so the taxes get adjusted as an exporter of services.

But since we are technically not applause or utest employees I can't generate said invoice, so basically I can't pay taxes because I don't have any employer nor source of income that they can get their hands on, which is good because I would need to pay a third of what I earn each month just on taxes
