        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has affirmed\nthat he will not implement tax amnesty or tax forgiveness policies while\nin office, unless there is a direct order from the President. \u201cYesterday\nI was asked if there would be tax amnesty again. I said, unless there is\nan order from the President, I will not implement tax amnesty while I am\nMinister,\u201d Purbaya stated during the inauguration of eight new officials\nat the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) at the Ministry of Finance\noffice in Jakarta on Tuesday. He explained that the implementation of\ntax amnesty is not black-and-white but involves many grey areas that can\ncreate complexity. According to him, this could lead to uncertainty that\npotentially results in legal risks during its execution. At the\ninauguration event, Purbaya also advised the new DJP officials to carry\nout their tax duties with a focus on integrity. He stressed that if\nintegrity is compromised, the entire system will gradually be affected.\nEven if targets are met, public trust could be lost and difficult to\nrestore. \u201cBut I will ensure that we implement tax practices that\neliminate risks to tax officials from legal demands that are sometimes\nnot black-and-white. If you are unsure about carrying out your duties\ndue to unclear regulations, report it to me. We will review the\nregulations, and if necessary, we will amend them,\u201d Purbaya said. His\nstatement was intended to clarify information regarding audits of PPS\nparticipants previously mentioned by Director General of Taxes Bimo\nWijayanto. \u201cBasically, those who have undergone tax amnesty will not\nhave their registered assets dug into again. Going forward, they just\nneed to pay according to their business as usual, normal business\ndevelopments,\u201d he said. Purbaya urged tax amnesty participants not to\noverinterpret media reports and to continue fulfilling their tax\nobligations as they have been doing.<\/p>",
