Yes, technology is increasingly advanced, human work is now easier, including shopping. Shopping through cyberspace became popular only in the 1990s, precisely when the internet began to be used by many people in developed countries, such as the United States, and developed countries in Europe there. Well, in Indonesia, cyber shopping became popular only in the 2000s. At that time the internet network began to spread throughout the archipelago. In 2019, internet users in Indonesia have reached 83.7 million people. business gaps in cyberspace are increasingly popular. Yes, ease of access, many price options, and effectiveness, are the reasons why many choose online shopping. You don't have to go to the market, grocery stores, or food stalls anymore. Just click...click... Only, the desired item arrives at hand. This also makes many people open businesses in cyberspace. No need to have a shop, with a laptop or cell phone as capital, and of course the intention. The media also varies, ranging from Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, to Twitter. Well, the profits are also a lot. Apart from the increase in income, time with family has not decreased at all. So, you can work anytime, while carrying your child, doing housework. It's especially for housewives. Alhamdulillah, this sustenance can come from anywhere, the important thing is halal. But my goodness, the online shopping phenomenon is also being used by a few people to cheat In 2018, data from the sub-directorate stated that 446 cases of fraud in cyberspace were recorded. This number increased from the previous year which was only 335 cases. The rules about buying and selling online have actually been regulated by law number 7 of 2014, concerning trade. And in order to provide a sense of security for the community, regulations for communication and informatics number 34 of 2014 were issued. Its contents require that all parties who offer goods are registered online. But only the big companies spread. The current rules do not specifically regulate trading in cyberspace. So to protect the public, the government also plans to apply a special tax for e-commerce players, because I have this data, buying and selling transactions in cyberspace continue to increase from year to year. In 2020 it was only 130 trillion, while in 2021 it reached 150 trillion. And it is estimated that it will reach 312 trillion Rupiah in 2023. Wow, the tax potential is pretty good too. However, this policy is still being studied. If we talk about taxes, of course we see what is being traded. For example, from the factory sold to distributors. Between the manufacturer and the distributor, I believe there is a tax there. Then from the distributor to the retailer, there may also be a tax. This retail, if it is traded as a coating, this retail sells to the public. Because the potential of this market is huge, the government must encourage people to do business online. Yes, although it is still in its infancy, the e-commerce climate is indeed heading in a positive direction. When compared to developed countries, it is still far behind. use in various lines, must continue to be carried out, even security is of course a priority that must be considered, and protected by the government.
