Fathan Qorib, Andin Aditya Rahman

The Government and the House of Representatives (House) are discussing the direction for tax policies in 2015, including fine-tuning underlying policies for the non-tax state revenue of ministries and government institutions.

According to Yasonna H. Laoly, Deputy Chairman of the Budget Office of the House (Banggar),   there will be four general directives for tax policies in 2015 and two additional initiatives to enhance tax system infrastructure.

The first directive is to optimize tax revenue through further revision to tax regulations, and deeper research on taxpayers.

The second directive is to establish tax policies to retain national economic stability, such as import and export duties, and income tax.

The third directive will focus on improving the competitiveness and value-add to taxable products. Mr. Laoly indicated this will include items  “Such as fiscal and downstream incentives”.

The fourth and final directive relates to taxation policies to control the consumption of certain products that are subject to excise, such as adjustments to the tobacco excise rate.

Regarding policies on non-tax state revenue, continued Mr. Laoly, there will be further revisions to the government regulations on non-tax state revenue for each ministry and government institution.

In addition to these revisions, there will be also increased monitoring and evaluation measures for supervision and control purposes to be accompanied by legal sanctions for non-compliance in collecting and managing non-tax state revenue. These actions will be complemented with information technology based services and a database for those subject to non-tax state revenue.

“Fifth will be an increase in the infrastructure and facilities of those that produce non-tax state revenue and the quality of human resources that manage non-tax state revenue, and sixth is to utilize online systems for non-tax state revenue payments,” concluded Mr Laoly.
