Boosting the state's revenue<\/p>\n
From Bisnis Indonesia<\/p>\n
According to a report in a mass-media publication, the
\ngovernment, after studying the implementation of a tax amnesty in
\na number of other countries, has decided against its inclusion in
\nthe 2004 tax reform.<\/p>\n
This mean that the Directorate General of Taxation must boost
\nthe state's revenue from taxes by consistently enforcing the tax
\nlaw.<\/p>\n
In a meeting with a number of Jakarta-based artists, the
\nDirectorate General of Taxation has learned that it will still
\nlikely increase tax receipts from the previous year's collection
\nof income tax and the tax on land and buildings.<\/p>\n
If only the Directorate General of Taxation, while strictly
\nmaintaining individual confidentiality, could disclose the tax
\nreceipts of -- artists, lawyers, consultants, the corporate
\ndirectors of private companies, state enterprises or enterprises
\nowned by regional administrations, House members, members of the
\nPeople's Consultative Assembly and state officials -- the public
\nwould be able to take part in monitoring state revenue from this
\nsector. More importantly, the public would be able to monitor the
\nperformance of the tax apparatuses. Finally, the state's revenues
\nfrom tax receipts would increase.<\/p>\n
