West Jakarta Tax Office Highlights Crucial Role of Business Sector in Taxation System
Head of the West Jakarta Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (Kanwil DJP Jakarta Barat), Farid Bachtiar, stressed the importance of collaboration between the DGT, the business community, and all stakeholders in building a healthy taxation system.
“The DGT cannot work alone. We need the help of all elements, both from the government and the private sector. Tax is like blood in the body of the nation, flowing to support economic growth in all corners of the country,” Farid said in Jakarta on Thursday.
He also emphasised the importance of the DGT being open to criticism and input from the business community.
“We want to continue opening communication channels with businesspeople. Criticism and input from the business community are important for us to ensure that tax policies and services can provide legal certainty and support business continuity,” Farid said.
He outlined the revenue performance of the West Jakarta DGT Regional Office up to 30 June 2026, with tax revenue recorded at Rp45.19 trillion, growing 23.3 percent year-on-year (yoy).
“This achievement reached 45 percent of the target and places the West Jakarta DGT Regional Office in eighth position nationally,” Farid said.
Meanwhile, Head of the Tamansari Pratama Tax Service Office (KPP) in Jakarta, Eko Hadiyanto, said technological developments have changed the transaction patterns and economic activities of society.
“Digital transformation has not only changed the way people transact, but also changed the way we carry out administration and fulfil tax obligations,” Eko explained.
He explained that Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 37 of 2025 regulates the appointment of trade organisers through electronic systems as collectors of Income Tax (PPh) Article 22.
“This provision is an effort to integrate the fulfilment of tax obligations with the development of the digital ecosystem,” Eko added.
Meanwhile, Government Regulation (PP) Number 20 of 2026 reorganises the provisions on Final Income Tax for business operators with certain gross turnover.
Eko said the provision maintains the 0.5 percent rate while providing more targeted convenience for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
“Business operators need to adapt to technological developments while understanding changes in tax regulations. This understanding is important so that business activities can run in an orderly, sustainable, and competitive manner,” Eko concluded.
