Indonesia's Entertainment Tax World's Highest
VIVAnews - The government is viewed by many as having too much ambition in increasing the income of the provincial governments by rising taxes. Entertainment tax, which is expected to go up by 75 percent, is seen by many as an effort to bring down tourism.
"If the percentage is correct, our entertainment tax will be the highest in the world," said Chief of the Jakarta Association of Recreation and Public Entertainment, Adrian Maelite, today, May 12.
The increase in liquor excise to 300 percent as well as the planned adjustment of electricity tariff will put much pressure on the entrepreneurs.
The scheduled increase in entertainment tax of 75 percent is considered illogical.
"We'll be surely against it. Many entrepreneurs would try new chances," he said.
The tax increase will also aim at autos, fuel, parking, mining, and entertainment.
