Developers owe Rp 3.6b in taxes

TANGERANG (JP): Property tax arrears from developers of
housing complexes and golf courses in the city have reached Rp
3.68 billion (US$334,545), an official said yesterday.

The head of Tangerang's property tax office, Junaidi, said the
West Java provincial government would remind them that tax
arrears should have been paid on Dec. 1 last year.

"West Java's Deputy Governor for Economic Affairs and
Development Ukman Sutaryan will call them soon," Junaidi said.

Among the developers to be summoned included Modernland with
tax arrears of Rp 1.1 billion, Jaya Real Properti Bintaro with
Rp 1 billion, Bumi Serpong Damai with Rp 935 million,
Kedaton housing complex with Rp 346 million and Gading Serpong
with Rp 299 million, he said.

Junaidi said his office had repeatedly warned and sent
notification letters to the developers but they had never
received satisfactory responses. (41/jun)
