YouTube Content Taxed Despite Not Getting Revenue from There, Soleh Solihun Feels Annoyed - This is the Response from the Ministry of Finance Spokesperson

Kapanlagi.com - Soleh Solihun recently expressed his frustration on his social media account. This Bandung comedian complains because his social media YouTube account is being billed by the tax authorities even though he no longer earns money from the platform.

It is known that Soleh Solihun does have a YouTube account and shares interview content with several public figures. Similar to other YouTubers, adsense tax is often imposed on them.

"I only got money from YouTube for 2 months in 2018," said Soleh Solihun on his personal social media account X (Twitter).
