The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) at the Ministry of Finance has blocked two accounts belonging to a company under the purview of the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office, containing a balance of IDR 33.49 billion, due to outstanding tax arrears of IDR 24.86 billion. Prior to the seizure on 10 June 2026, the DJP undertook various collection stages in accordance with statutory regulations, such as issuing a warning letter on 24 September 2024. “Persuasive efforts were made with the taxpayer well in advance to encourage voluntary settlement of tax obligations, namely by issuing a Warning Letter on 24 September 2024,” according to a press release from the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office on Friday (19/6/2026). Following the delivery of the warning letter, the Kebayoran Baru Satu Primary Tax Office issued a Forced Collection Order on 8 October 2025 for the tax arrears on the unpaid assessments. After the deadline specified in the Forced Collection Order passed and the arrears remained unpaid, the Kebayoran Baru Satu Primary Tax Office blocked the taxpayer’s accounts on 14 May 2026 to secure assets that could be used to settle the tax debt. The blocked taxpayer assets, in the form of bank accounts, were seized on Tuesday, 10 June 2026, at a bank account registered with the BNI Hang Lekir Sub-Branch Office located at Jalan Hang Lekir 2 No. 28, Gunung Village, Kebayoran Baru District, South Jakarta, based on an issued Seizure Execution Order. During the seizure process, the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office coordinated with BNI’s Head Office to ensure the process proceeded smoothly, and the bank provided full support and coordination so that the entire series of activities could be carried out in an orderly, smooth, and procedurally compliant manner. “Synergy between the Directorate General of Taxes and the banking sector is an important part of supporting the effectiveness of tax collection,” the press release stated. The seizure was carried out by the State Tax Bailiff of the Kebayoran Baru Satu Primary Tax Office, Ibnu Shodiq W, accompanied by the Head of the Audit, Collection, Intelligence, and Investigation Division of the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office, Dwi Prasetyo Widodo, and the Head of the Collection Guidance Section of the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office, Slamet Aji, with the taxpayer’s proxy acting as a witness. The Head of the DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office stressed that active collection measures are a last resort taken after various persuasive and administrative efforts have been exhausted. This action also demonstrates the Directorate General of Taxes’ commitment to enforcing tax laws professionally, fairly, and in accordance with applicable regulations. The DJP South Jakarta II Regional Office urges all taxpayers to fulfil their tax obligations correctly, completely, and on time.
