Having received negative responses from various parties, the Directorate General on Tax (Directorate General) has decided to postpone the plan to revise duty stamp value. However, Sigit Pramudito, the Director General on Tax, decided to take a detour by first strengthening the legal framework.
“Duty stamp will not increase in 2015, it will as always remain IDR 3,000 and IDR 6,000,” said Mr. Pramudito clarifying the issue on Wednesday.
Mr. Pramudito revealed that the parliament has agreed to include the revision of Duty Stamp Lawinto National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) in a plenary session held last week, 23 June 2015. The revision itself consists of two main points.
The first point is imposing transaction limit for duty stamps. Transactions from IDR 250 thousand to IDR 1 million shall use IDR 3,000 duty stamp, while transactions above IDR 1 million shall use IDR 6,000 duty stamp. The second is changing duty stamp values from IDR 3,000 and IDR 6,000 into IDR 10,000 and IDR 18,000, respectively.
Previously, the government plan to increase the value of duty stamp is criticized by many circles. Lawmaker Ecky Awal Muharram (Commission XI), for instance, considered that this plan as counter-productive and will only add more burden to citizens.
Meanwhile, Irawan, Director of Tax Regulation I, explained that the amendment to Duty Stamp Law will contain several new provisions. One of which in particular relates to softcopy of documents used as evidence in court proceedings. Mr. Irawan asserted that such documents became subjects of “mandatory duty stamp”.
Mr. Irawan admits that the use of duty stamps for evidence in court proceedings are common practices for authentication purposes, each disputing party normally inserts duty stamp along with stamp seal on any copy of evidence documents. He recently emphasized that it will become mandatory.
