elebrity couple Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina ensured fans that they were not evading taxes and planned to pay them as soon as possible.
“As a good citizen, we must dutifully pay taxes,” Raffi Ahmad said in a video posted on his official Instagram account @raffinagita1717 on Wednesday, a day after Jakarta officials visited the couple’s house to collect tax arrears on 11 of their vehicles.

Raffi and Nagita reportedly own several luxury vehicles, including a BMW, Ducati motorcycles and a Maserati GranTurismo.
The Jakarta administration has adopted an aggressive approach to taxes as they are targeting to collect Rp 35.2 trillion (US$2.63 billion) in tax revenue this year. However, the city has so far collected only Rp 20.6 trillion.
Tax officials have gone door-to-door to admonish rich residents, including celebrities, who have yet to pay various taxes. (hol)
