Bali Tax Office updates data with local governments to boost revenue

The Bali Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) is continuously updating tax data in collaboration with local governments on the Island of the Gods to increase the potential for both regional and central tax revenue.

“Data is an important foundation in optimising tax revenue,” said Head of the Bali DJP Regional Office Darmawan in Denpasar, Bali, on Saturday.

He explained that the latest data encourages more effective mapping of potential, supervision, and examination, so that tax potential can be followed up more optimally.

His office has established cooperation with local governments in Bali to increase revenue.

However, he continued, the cooperation does not stop at administrative documents, but needs to be optimised through real implementation in the field, including the utilisation and exchange of data, joint supervision, and education for taxpayers.

In addition, collaboration is also carried out through canvassing or sweeping for potential new taxpayers.

“By working together in the field, we can improve compliance while ensuring tax revenue is managed optimally for development and provides benefits for the community,” he said.

One of the local governments in Bali that has already cooperated is the Klungkung Regency Government, which together with the DJP has conducted a sweep of tax potential.

Klungkung Deputy Regent Tjok Gde Surya Putra explained that the sweep targeted business operators, particularly in the tourist destination areas of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan islands, together with the Gianyar Pratama Tax Service Office (KPP), which oversees the Klungkung working area.

From the results of the sweep of 214 business operators in Klungkung, he said, 113, or around 53 percent, were found to be unregistered. The finding shows that there is still significant room to optimise tax revenue potential in the Klungkung region.

Meanwhile, the Bali DJP recorded that tax revenue realisation on the Island of the Gods as of June 2026 reached Rp8.46 trillion, growing 10 percent compared to the same period in 2025 of Rp7.69 trillion.

The realisation has only reached 34.8 percent of the target of Rp24.3 trillion.

Tax revenue in Bali up to the first half of 2026 remained positive despite the current global economic situation being marked by turmoil due to the geopolitical crisis.
