Bandung (ANTARA) - The Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, has\ndecided not to increase vehicle taxes in his region, even though the\ncentral government has reduced Transfers to the Region (TKD), in order\nto maintain the purchasing power of the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe in West Java are not increasing (vehicle taxes); we are choosing\nto maintain the existing rates,\u201d said Dedi Mulyadi at the Gedung Sate in\nBandung, Thursday.<\/p>\n
Dedi affirmed that since the beginning of his term a year ago, he has\nconsistently maintained stable tax rates. For him, maintaining\naffordable taxes is far more effective in increasing public compliance\nthan raising rates, which would burden the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have not raised taxes since I took office until last January; you\ncan ask. It is better to have more people paying (high participation)\nthan to raise taxes but have fewer people paying,\u201d said Dedi.<\/p>\n
Dedi revealed that in the near future, taxes for yellow-plated\nvehicles and freight transport will actually decrease.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor yellow plates, freight transport will experience a decrease,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Dedi Mulyadi is optimistic that by maintaining low rates, the\nregion\u2019s cash flow from the vehicle tax sector in West Java will remain\nstable, driven by a wider volume of taxpayers.<\/p>\n
The situation in Central Java has even forced the Regional Secretary\nof Central Java, Sumarno, together with the local DPRD, to design a\nrelaxation plan with a five percent tax discount to dampen public\nunrest.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-governor-refrains-from-raising-vehicle-taxes-to-maintain-purchasing-power-1772153598", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
