OK, for everyone asking about taxation and shit, I'm going to give you the general rundown. I can't afford to give you a full on lecture or anything, but I can explain the big questions that were being asked last thread.
>What is Youtube's new taxation policy?Transactions involving the United States and other countries involve different tax regulations. Previously, these were not taken notice of. Now, for citizens/businesses not of US origin, the previously ignored tax burden will be applied.
>How will this affect Cover Corporation and Hololive Productions?Short answer: It won't. Long answer: Cover Corporation, as the owner of the channels, will most likely file paperwork regarding this and update their tax documents, meaning they will be subject to the US/Japan tax treaty in terms of what will be charged. Japan and the US have a treaty which is structured to avoid all instances of double taxation wherever possible, so the change on Cover's revenue will be nothing.
>But the talents aren't Cover, they're paid by Cover as employees, and are given a portion of revenue generated as a payment that is, in taxation terms, equivalent to a wage or salary. How will this change affect their income?It won't. Because the Japanese/US treaty avoids double taxation, and the resulting change will simply apply said tax treaties to their revenue sources, it will not result in anything different. Their income will be paid out as it had been paid out before, with no changes resulting from the new tax model.
>That makes sense for JP talent, but what about girls that are operating in other countries, such as the IDs or ENs? Does their country of origin have different taxation laws that will cause this to affect them, due to their channels being operated in other countries?No. The girls may operate in other countries, such as Indonesia, Canada and America, but that does not change their situation under this new tax policy. Go to the ID or EN girl's Youtube About pages, and notice their locations. They are all channels located in Japan. This is because Cover owns their channels directly. Although they once claimed independent contractor status applied, the Holocaust only came about because it was proven to not be the case. The talent's income will be treated as it was before the new tax policy, where they will be paid their earnings by Cover Corporation after the generation of revenue for the company has already taken place as an employee, and those wages will be taxed as is appropriate between Japan and their country of origin. So again, this new situation does not change their status or income.
>All I'm hearing is that nothing changes. Well, what does change? Obviously Youtube wouldn't make a big deal of this if it resulted in no benefit for them.Correct. This change will only affect countries who have different tax treaties with the United States, who deduct a portion of the transaction between borders as a tax. Luckily, Japan and the United States are strong economic partners, and their relationship will not be harmed. If there was another country involved, there may have been complications, but due to this situation, there will be no direct or indirect impact of this new policy on Cover Corporation as a whole, or your favorite talent in particular.
>So I can continue to support my favorite Hololive talent without worrying about my support being siphoned off by another source?Correct. Anyone who attempts to tell you otherwise is peddling a misinformed narrative; pay them no heed.
