Revenue from ID card processing

Revenue from ID card processing

JAKARTA (JP): North Jakarta mayoralty will most likely lose
about Rp 500 million in locally generated revenue per annum
following a ban on the collection of 20 levies, an official said.

Djohan Anwar, head of the mayoralty's population office, said
revenue from the collection of levies from the processing of
citizenship documents alone, including family cards, resettling
licenses, change of citizenship and expatriate registration,
reached about Rp 976 million per annum.

"After the stoppage of the collections, however, the revenue
from citizenship document processing is projected to reach only
about half as much," Djohan was quoted by Antara as saying.

Based on Gubernatorial Decree No. 134/1998, he said, only
collection of the levy from citizenship identity cards was
allowed to continue.

"It will be the main contributor to our locally generated
revenue," he said. (hhr)
