JAKARTA - The phenomenon of payments of up to billions of rupiah from social media has forced Ghozali Everyday to fulfill his obligations to the state through tax payments. Strictly speaking, Ghozali also stated his commitment to fulfill this.

"Of course I will pay for it because I am a good Indonesian citizen," he said via his personal Twitter account after being 'hit' by Sri Mulyani's ranks through the same media @DitjenPajakRI on Friday, January 14.

In fact, the income earned by this young man is quite fantastic. From the information gathered by the editors, Ghozali is said to be able to earn up to IDR 1.5 billion in profit from his efforts to sell selfies on OpenSea.

Then, the question is how much tax value must be paid by Ghozali? Which rules can apply to someone who earns money online?

In the editorial search, until now there has been no special regulation that explicitly regulates income tax from the digital world. However, conditions similar to the collection of Income Tax (PPh) from crypto activities can be imposed on Ghozali.

Here, the taxpayer (WP) must independently (self-assessment) report the benefits derived from digital activities to the tax office.

Most likely, Ghozali will be subject to progressive taxes because he has a relatively large income. It is stated that this scheme has tariffs ranging from 5 percent to 30 percent.

So, with an income of Rp. 1.5 billion, it is believed that he will deposit Rp. 75 million to Rp. 450 million to the state treasury as a consequence of paying taxes. Quite a lot for the size of a youth who is still 22 years old. How, still interested in making money in cyberspace?
