Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Many Teachers in Blitar, East Java, Are Filing For Divorce", "A Woman Allegedly Extort Monks in Thailand", you may read also "Donald Trump Filed a Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Discourse on Imposing Tax on Envelope Recipients at Wedding and Celebration Events'.

A member of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR R.I.) highlighted the government's recent increasingly aggressive taxation measures in various sectors. He even revealed that there was talk of levying a tax on recipients of envelopes at weddings and celebrations. "We heard that in the near future, the government will ask for tax on people who receive envelopes at weddings and celebrations," informed during a meeting at the Senayan parliamentary complex in Jakarta.[1]

In response, Rosmauli, Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes, emphasized that the information was definitely false and that there were no plans to collect tax on wedding envelopes at the Ministry of Finance's Tax Office. "We need to clarify that there is no new policy from the Tax Office or the government that will specifically collect tax on wedding or wedding envelopes, whether received in person or through digital transfers," Rosmauli said. She  explained that any increase in economic capacity can indeed be taxed. This can include gifts or cash. However, the application does not necessarily apply to all situations. "If the gift is personal, irregular, and not related to employment or business activities, it is not subject to tax and is not a priority for DGT supervision," Rosmauli explained.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
