Entertainers and tax

Entertainers and tax

From Media Indonesia

It is deemed necessary to inform people that entertainers such as television soap opera actors, film stars, comedians, singers and the like actually receive their fees after tax. It is the production houses and TV stations which manage the tax of the artists concerned.

For example, if a film star reports that his fee is Rp 1 million, he will then say that the amount is after tax.

Ticket sales for stage performances by singers, comedians or emcees are also subject to tax, which should be paid by the event organizers.

Like other citizens, entertainers also fulfill their obligation in paying taxes such as vehicle tax, land and building tax, value-added tax, etc.
