Be ware of tax book sellers

JAKARTA (JP): The Ministry of Finance has cautioned the public
about the sale of taxation books by unscrupulous individuals
posing as ministry officials.

The books are being offered by people claiming they have been
assigned by the chief of the ministry's Financial Education and
Training Department (BPLK), Soepatmo.

The ministry's Legal Bureau and Public Relations' chief, Agus
Haryanto, said their were four books in the set which contain
information about presidential decree No. 24 which relates to
taxation.

He said the book package cost Rp 3,100,000.

"Judging by the order form, which contains recommendation
letters and the identities of the letter senders, who send
letters to prospective buyers in the hope that they will purchase
the books, it is clear that the letters were written by
irresponsible people who are out to deceive the public to make
money," Agus said. (bas)
