2. Development of adsense publishers in Indonesia are quite high


Development of adsense publishers in Indonesia are quite high - YOUnipedia.com


If we look in a period of 3 years back.


Growth of adsense publisher is high enough, but you guys know that that makes the name from adsense is not be high from blogging or web.

But from the YouTube Adsense Publisher.

YouTube and adsense are becoming a new phenomenon in Indonesia after the rise of several YouTube Creator names which in a short time get millions of Subscriber and quite high adsense revenue.

Some well-known names such as Jess No Limit, Atta Halilintar and Ria Ricis are for example, they are some of the successful YouTube creators and managed to benefit from adsense, starting from buying a private house, car or something else.

And since then many people have begun to be interested in online jobs that can benefit from Adsense.

Then how can there be a link between adsense and NPWP?

So far there has been no official confirmation from the Google adsense Team or from the relevant government agencies such as the Director General of Taxes.

But if according to YOUnipedia's observation, this happened because there had been an observation from the Director General of Taxes about the growth of adsense publishers and large revenues.

So that with the tax law base that applies in Indonesia, where every citizen who has income and has fulfilled the qualifications as a taxpayer then must participate in taxation activities.

And perhaps the Director General of Taxation and Google Adsense Indonesia finally made an agreement in such a way that finally served the adsense publisher to fix their NPWP with an adsense account.

Where this is possible for the sake of facilitating supervision of taxpayers about the dependents they have in taxation based on adsense income.

Is this a good or bad thing? of course we have our own opinions. But whatever happens don't be discouraged. Believe that everything will be good if we mean it.
