JAKARTA - Tompi is trying to offer a way that the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) and the Collective Management Institute (LMK) can do in managing royalties from the use of songs/music in cafes and restaurants.

According to the 46-year-old singer, the collection of royalties from this type of business can be accompanied by state tax payments.

"It is paid directly when all these places of business pay taxes," Tompi said, citing video uploads on Instagram, Friday, August 15.

"When we all pay taxes, (royalti) gets there. So the deposit goes to the same pool," he continued. Well, later stay from the LMK or the designated body manages with the reservoir at this taxation, to attract that fee.

Tompi sees that this method will make it easier for all parties to trace royalties collected from users to distribute them to copyright holders and related rights.

In addition, Tompi hopes that the determination of royalty rates for cafes and restaurants is not based on the number of seats. He feels it is fairer if the tariff is based on how much effort is being carried out.

"I think it could be an alternative. And once again, everything is packed. So don't count it per head or per seat. Oh, it's very difficult to prove it. Because it's not fair," said Tompi.

"There are 300 curves, but 300 fillings are not always. So it's a bit difficult," he added.

"So, just follow it up, so it's easier, more visible, and more affordable," concluded Tompi.
