Hi, I went through this thing already (how to do the taxing (hopefully) correctly). I live in Hungary (inside EU). Whenever I sell an app, that is a licensing contract between ME and the BUYER (google has nothing to do with it. They are just a technical intermediate). You sell the app at the

If your country allows you to open a bank account in a foreign country then that would work. Google does care only where it can send the money. They don't care where you are actually spending most of your time :) Here in EU you can pretty much open a bank account anywhere and still live in
