Tax office to create program to reduce tax evasion
The tax office is creating a program application that will include its efforts in "profiling" and "benchmarking" of taxpayers in its information and technology system to reduce the rate of tax evasion, tax office chief Darmin Nasution says.
"The tax office in the future will be more accurate in knowing which sectors taxpayers are avoiding their tax debts in," he said Wednesday.
Once the tax office has finished benchmarking all sectors, it can measure the gap between tax that could be collected and real tax revenue.
"This means that we will know to which tax office branch [taxpayers owe their obliged amount], and how much the gap is," said Darmin.
