I can’t speak for other countries, but you are doing actions to get the income.
Even if you do it with a bot you had to set the bot up which makes it active.
That's not true at all. With your logic there's no such thing as passive income. I can't just passively open a bank account and collect interest because I had to open the bank account.
Please see the post above yours for HOW one would passively own a dropshipping business.
You don't run the bank you don't set the banks interest rate or policies = passive
You do run the bot as you set the parameters = active.
STOCK DIVIDENDS = PASSIVE
BANK INTEREST = PASSIVE
POS = passive
All of the above you don't control what they do for your income. All passive.
Running a bot you have active control of what it does for = active
In the USA you hire a person to work for you and run the business of drop shipping.
That means you are an employer you decide the work the worker does.
Once again you are actively participating in that business.
But rather than argue let me dust off my accounting texts. For USA law.
Give me a minute.
Renting a building you own is passive. It would be closer to your idea and still be passive.
