A day after the viral feud between famous Youtubers and content creators online broke, a netizen pointed out one question that sparked a discussion online.
Do these online milyonaryos pay tax?
Lakompake dun sa mga YouTube Vloggers, pero the revelation that one collab can go for as high as 400K??? Is the BIR keeping tabs???

Atty. Claudio Poy shared his sentiments on Twitter on whether these influencers pay their dues after being exposed to charge at least P400,000 per video or collaboration on Youtube.
Like Tama diba? Based on the ss, they’re approximating people and collabs based on revenue? Mukhang mali pinasok nating trabaho mga misis

I mean obviously, the purpose here is to not steal their money, but to make them pay the proper taxes? While this ~job is arguably new, this shouldn’t mean it’s outside the ambit of the taxing authority. We get taxed the right amount, so dapat sila din?

“Eh mahirap din maging vlogger influencer kasi you need to build up your image.”
Not the debate—people with lesser paying jobs work as hard, or even harder, but because they have conventional jobs, they get taxed down to the last centavo.
It’s about fairness.

So ang takeaway natin dito: Dapat magkaroon ng BS vlogging o di kaya’y turuan natin ang mga anak to love chicken nuggets me too mama!!!
