“Every country is its own planet. Every tax system tells a story.”

— Rizqa Lahuddin

I’m Rizqa

I’m a traveler, a storyteller, and a self-confessed tax nerd.

Whenever I visit a new country, I’m curious about more than its landmarks and local food. I also want to know how its tax system works. Why is the VAT rate different? How are public services funded? What can taxes tell us about a country’s history, economy, and culture?

That’s the idea behind Planet of the Tax.

Through this website and my YouTube channel, I explore tax systems around the world and turn complex topics into stories that anyone can enjoy. My goal isn’t to give tax advice. It’s to make taxation easier to understand and a lot more interesting.

After all, every country has a different tax system, and every tax system has a story.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll join me as we explore the world. One tax system at a time.
