Frequently Asked Questions

How to record AdSense revenue in USD?

AdSense revenue is recorded as income on the date payment is received in the bank account using the BI (Bank Indonesia) exchange rate on that date. If there are exchange differences between the estimate when Google issues the invoice and the rate when received, the difference is recorded as exchange gain/loss income/expense. We help setup automatic recording templates for this.

Are barter endorsements (goods/services) taxable?

Yes. Goods or services received as endorsement compensation are still considered income tax objects. The reported value is the fair value of the goods/services at the time received. For example, if you receive a smartphone worth IDR 15 million as barter, that value is income that must be reported. However, you can also record the goods as assets or expenses according to their use.

What expenses can be deducted from content creator income?

Deductible expenses include: production equipment (camera, microphone, lighting, computer), software and subscriptions (Adobe, Canva Pro, editing tools), internet and phone costs, transportation for shooting/attending events, team salaries (editor, thumbnail designer, manager), studio/co-working space rent, props for content (food ingredients for food review, skincare for beauty review), and marketing costs. Make sure to keep transaction proof and usage records for tax purposes.

When should content creators form a PT or CV?

Considerations for forming a business entity usually arise when: (1) Net income is high enough (progressive individual income tax rates 30-35% are heavier than corporate income tax 22%), (2) There is brand cooperation requiring official invoices and business NPWP, (3) Want to separate personal and business assets, (4) Need access to business banking facilities. We can analyze the break-even point when entity structure becomes more tax-efficient.

How to record revenue from Shopee/Tokopedia Affiliate?

Marketplace affiliate revenue is recorded as sales commission in the period when commission is received. Platforms usually provide monthly commission reports that can be used as recording basis. This commission is taxable income (can be final 0.5% if included in SME, or general rate). We help setup link performance tracking and data consolidation from various affiliate platforms.

How do accounting services improve operating cost efficiency?

Accurate, timely financial reports help you spot cost leakage, monitor margins by product or service, and make data-based decisions.

Can financial reports be accessed in real time?

Yes. We use cloud accounting systems so you can monitor cash flow, profit and loss, and business performance from anywhere.

How do you ensure reports are ready for external audits or banks?

Reports are prepared by qualified accounting professionals with clear documentation and traceable transaction data.
