        "content": "<p>Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa will request complete data from\nBPJS Ketenagakerjaan regarding claims that approximately 95.45 percent\nof Old Age Security (JHT) disbursements are already subject to a zero\npercent tax rate. The zero percent final income tax (PPh) rate facility\napplies to JHT disbursements up to IDR 50 million.<\/p>\n<p>This step follows a meeting with the Presidential Special Advisor on\nEmployment and Labour Welfare, Said Iqbal. \u201cIf I look at it, 95 percent\nof the data is already covered by the zero percent tax. But Mr.\u00a0Said\nsaid the data is not entirely accurate, so I will request more complete\ndata from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to see what the actual figures are,\u201d\nPurbaya stated in Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Said Iqbal proposed an evaluation of the tax\nimposition on JHT benefits. The government is also reviewing the\nprogressive tax mechanism for workers who make multiple JHT withdrawals\ndue to layoffs (PHK).<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya emphasised that the government would study the proposals\ncomprehensively before making any decisions. \u201cWe do not want to make\nthings more difficult for the public. We will maintain what is already\nrunning, but we must also be careful in calculating the policy\u2019s impact\non state revenue and ensure the benefits are truly felt by those in\nneed,\u201d he said. The government will also examine the possibility of\nadjusting tax provisions that still refer to old regulations to align\nthem with the current social security system and labour market\ndynamics.<\/p>",
