        "content": "<p>Gorontalo \u2014 The head of Gorontalo Provincial Revenue Authority,\nDanial Ibrahim, stated on Saturday that the provincial government is\nstrengthening Samsat services, including in the most remote areas such\nas Pohuwato Regency.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the realisation of vehicle tax (PKB) and motor\nvehicle acquisition tax (BBNKB) in Pohuwato Regency shows an\nincreasingly positive trend with promising prospects until the end of\nthe fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>Gorontalo Governor Gusnar Ismail continues to remind Samsat P3D UPTD\nPohuwato Regency in the context of improving public services.<\/p>\n<p>Ismail emphasised that Samsat is one of the strategic pillars\nsupporting the region\u2019s own-source revenue (PAD).<\/p>\n<p>Cross-sectoral coordination is expected to strengthen further and\nmaintain the momentum of revenue growth in Pohuwato Regency, whilst also\nforming part of the broader strategy to strengthen fiscal independence\nin Gorontalo Province.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic service must continue to be improved. When service is fast,\ntransparent and accountable, public trust will grow and tax compliance\nwill increase,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ibrahim, this achievement is inseparable from the\nsynergy between the Provincial Government, Regency Government, Police\nand Jasa Raharja in strengthening Samsat services.<\/p>\n<p>This includes optimising digital payment systems and accelerating the\nregistration and legalisation process for new vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlhamdulillah, the realisation of PKB and BBNKB in Pohuwato shows an\nincreasingly positive trend. This is the result of collaborative work.\nWhen collaboration is strong, the impact on regional revenue is\ntangible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This increase is not merely a matter of numbers, but an indicator of\nimproving fiscal awareness among the public.<\/p>\n<p>Optimising PKB and BBNKB provides direct benefits to regencies and\nmunicipalities through a revenue-sharing scheme of 66 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means the higher the tax compliance, the greater the\ncontribution to regional development, both at provincial and\nregency\/municipal level. This is a shared interest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He assured that the revenue authority will continue to drive\ninnovation in digital-based services, take a persuasive approach to\ntaxpayers, and strengthen the oversight system to sustain this positive\ntrend.<\/p>",
