The first deduction imposed on employees is Income Tax (PPh21). PPh is a tax imposed on taxpayers in the form of individuals, entities, permanent establishments, and undivided inheritances, on income obtained or acquired. It can be said that PPh is a tax on income that has been received, including private employees or individuals subject to tax. Although in reality not all workers are required to pay this income tax.

Besides taxes and BPJS, private employees also often receive other deductions, such as insurance premiums. Usually, these deductions exist because the company they work for has a partnership contract with a private insurance company. There are many types of insurance deductions that employees may receive. Some of them include health insurance, pension guarantees, old-age guarantees, work accident insurance, and death guarantees.

Some companies record other deductions in employees' salary slips, with different policies. Employees should ask for details of these deductions, which may include deductions for absences without leave, coming late, or leaving early. The amount of the deduction depends on the company's policy. There is also a deduction for cooperative members who borrow money from the office cooperative. This deduction applies until the debt is paid off. Many employees prefer cooperative loans because the interest is lower compared to banks.

Not only that, the Government will still deduct the salaries of employees for the People's Housing Savings (Tapera). Employees who have a minimum wage equivalent to UMR must pay a Tapera contribution of 3%. Employees have to bear 2.5% taken from their monthly salaries. Tapera is a savings fund collected by participants periodically over a certain period of time. This fund can only be used for housing financing or returned with its earnings after the membership ends.
