Tax to be imposed on boarding house

DENPASAR, Bali: Denpasar mayor Anak Agung Ngurah Puspayoga said on Monday that next year, the city would place a tax on boarding houses that have more than ten rooms and complete facilities.

He said that the tax on boarding houses correlates to the special taxes for hotels, but its implementation would be regulated in the new rulings.

"The tax will be placed on select boarding houses, and the regulations are to include tax procedures and criteria," Puspayoga said.

Currently, there are 9,314 boarding houses in Denpasar scattered through three districts. -- Antara
