AGO: Toba Pulp Lestari Transfer Pricing Case Reaches Macau, China

The transfer pricing scheme involving Toba Pulp Lestari has been traced overseas. The pulp and forestry company allegedly diverted profits from its tax manipulation to China.

Director of Investigations at the Junior Attorney General’s Office for Special Crimes, Saiful Bahri Siregar, stated that the estimated state loss from the case, which involves altering HS codes for export commodities, amounts to Rp 2 trillion.

“For now, we have traced the transfer pricing and HS code manipulation to Macau, China,” Saiful said.

He added that the investigation team is currently focusing on one commodity, namely pulp. However, he did not rule out the possibility that the probe could expand to other export commodities.

“In the current investigation, we are still focusing on paper products. But we will delve deeper into other commodities,” Saiful stated.

The investigation covers the period from 2008 to 2025. Saiful noted that the inquiry is ongoing to identify other parties connected to the transfer pricing scheme.
