The Bulungan Regency Government (Pemkab) will not collect regional\nlevies from hundreds of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME)\nowners along the Kayan River waterfront in Tanjung Selor, Bulungan\nRegency.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can ensure that in the Kayan River waterfront area, all MSMEs\noperating there from three in the afternoon until midnight are not\ncharged any levies whatsoever by the local government,\u201d stated Regent\nSyarwani in Tanjung Selor on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Syarwani noted that despite the decline in the Bulungan Regency\nRegional Budget (APBD)\u2014a trend felt by many other regions\u2014the government\nremains determined to seek sources of Regional Original Income (PAD). He\nemphasised that while the government is actively seeking revenue\nopportunities, it remains selective to avoid stifling community\nbusinesses, particularly MSMEs.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding taxes and levies, we are being selective in their\nimplementation. For instance, we do not apply levies to MSMEs in the\nKayan River waterfront area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Bulungan Regency Government is currently supporting\nthese businesses by providing 60 units of food carts free of charge,\nwithout the need for purchase or rental.<\/p>\n
Amidst current global economic uncertainty, Syarwani stated that the\nlocal government\u2019s primary goal is to ensure that MSMEs remain viable so\nthat the circulation of money and the economy in Bulungan Regency\ncontinues to thrive. \u201cWe are grateful that approximately 300 MSMEs at\nthe Kayan River waterfront remain operational, and their businesses\nserve as a gathering place for the people of Bulungan Regency to\nstrengthen community ties,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Regent Syarwani revealed that following a personal survey, he\ndiscovered that MSMEs operating from 5:00 pm to midnight can generate a\nturnover of between Rp700,000 and Rp1 million per night.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is their gross income for a single night, with a coffee selling\nprice of approximately Rp10,000 per glass. If we calculate that,\nassuming a 50 percent profit margin, it could result in a monthly income\nof approximately Rp15 million for our MSMEs,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Consequently, the Bulungan Regency Government remains committed and\nconsistent in managing the Kayan River waterfront area as a dedicated\nspace for community business, ensuring that the local economic engine\ncontinues to run.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bulungan-regent-ensures-no-levies-for-msmes-at-kayan-river-waterfront-1780839086", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
