"Commitment to comply with taxes, @Ghozali_Ghozalu already has a TIN," wrote the Indonesian Directorate General of Taxes, quoted by us from social media, Wednesday (26/1/2022).
Ghozali also received tax education, and invited all taxpayers to submit Annual Income Tax Returns (SPT) for Individual Individuals, before March 31, 2022. Even so, there were funny comments from netizens, who said that the expressions shown seemed not sincere.
