Tax lawyer's practice<\/p>\n
There has since long ago been a regulation stipulating that
\nstate enterprises (BUMN) wishing to settle their tax problems
\nwith the Tax Services Office (KPP) are forbidden to use tax
\nconsultant services. The goal is to minimize those enterprises'
\nexpenditures. In addition, the prohibition also prevents
\nsquandering money such as paying "success fees" amounting to some
\n20 percent for getting tax refunds.<\/p>\n
Normally the "success fee" is disbursed and divided among the
\ntax officer, the BUMN official and the tax consultant. But I have
\nheard for a long time that many BUMNs have a clever trick of
\ndelegating authority to tax lawyers for settlement of their tax
\nproblems including tax refunds.<\/p>\n
I wonder why they are accepted by the KPP tax officers. How is
\nit that they are willing to serve the tax lawyers? Is this a new
\nmethod to divide money? How easy and convenient! Even a tax
\nconsultant must do an exam and holds tax certification A, B and
\nC. What about the tax lawyers?<\/p>\n
Stranger still, when the BUMN accounting system is audited by
\nthe Development and Financial Control Board (BPKP), the fee
\npayment or the deduction from the tax refund to the tax lawyer
\n"is not checked" by the BPKP examiner. There seems to a dividing
\nof money, too, with the BPKP officer.<\/p>\n
Is that kind of problem already known by the Directorate
\nGeneral of Taxes and the Head of BPKP? Please exert better
\nsupervision so as not to cause jealousy to ordinary tax
\nconsultants.<\/p>\n
