00:00The Bureau of Internal Revenue confirmed that many social media influencers do not pay income and business tax.
00:07But some influencers have an answer to that.
00:10This is the story of Denisse Osorio.
00:14It's not easy to earn money.
00:15But because of social media,
00:17online personalities are looking for a chance to be seen and heard on streaming platforms.
00:24Aside from content,
00:25there are audiences who are called social media influencers
00:29because for them, it's a way to earn money.
00:31But according to the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
00:33there are still many influencers who do not pay income tax and business tax.
00:38Krysha Joy is an answer.
00:39She is a social media influencer who is slowly becoming known online.
00:42Being an influencer is not considered a regular employment.
00:46I personally understand why it's right to do that.
00:50Like, if we're just talking about the fairness of all working individuals,
00:55but personally, I feel like influencers shouldn't be taxed
01:00because it's a project-based type of work.
01:03Like freelancers don't normally get taxed whenever they do a project.
01:09Aside from the knowledge of the majority,
01:10you don't automatically see yourself when you trend on social media.
01:14For example, YouTube and Spotify, it's pristine.
01:18But as per TikTok, Instagram,
01:22it's just trending.
01:24There's no commission when it comes to the views that you get
01:29from the watch hours that people watch your videos.
01:33Krysha Joy adds,
01:34being an influencer is not easy.
01:36You always have to keep up with the trends
01:38because even if it's trending,
01:40it's possible that companies won't notice.
01:42According to social media manager CJ Mahilum,
01:44influencers will have a hard time,
01:46especially those who are called micro-influencers
01:48who are required to pay tax.
01:50It's just luck that they were able to pay the talent fee.
01:53We call it an ex-deal.
01:55So with those terms,
01:58in our ex-deal,
02:01usually,
02:03they ex-deal the content
02:05in exchange of the services, the products
02:08that they will promote.
02:10So basically, they will not get anything from the company monetary.
02:15They really won't get anything.
02:17So if you get them a tax,
02:19it's better to be an influencer.
02:22CJ's suggestion to the BIR?
02:24I think,
02:26my suggestion to the BIR is that
02:29they will assess
02:30if those influencers are in the category
02:33if they really
02:36receive the amount that they were able to pay.
02:40For example,
02:41or I think there's a specific timeline also.
02:44For those who want to be a social media influencer,
02:47it's more important to make the content they make and upload happy
02:50and it's a bonus that they earn.
