Bogor to increase tax revenue

BOGOR: Mayor Diani Budiarto ordered officials at district and
subdistrict levels to remind residents to pay their land and
property taxes by September so that the 100 percent tax
collection target could be met.

"Officials have to keep reminding them to pay taxes while
giving public services," he said.

According to the head of the Bogor Revenue Agency, Bambang
Gunawan, last year the municipality successfully collected over
95 percent of the targeted Rp 21 billion in land and property
taxes.

"Our target this year is Rp 28 billion from 202,400 taxpayers
in six districts," he was quoted as saying by Antara.

He expressed optimism of better performance this year, because
"we have an online system that will ease the procedure for
taxpayers". -- JP
