BANDA ACEH - Regional Office Official of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) Aceh stated that the state expenditure income budget (APBN) is a tool for the balance of the country's fundamental economy.

"APBN is a guideline in managing state finances, both revenue and expenditure. Therefore, the state budget is a tool for the fundamental balance of the country's economy," said Head of the Association and Public Relations Guidance Section of the DJBC Aceh Regional Office, Ari Subagyo, quoted from Antara, Thursday, August 3.

Ari Subagyo said the APBN contained detailed data regarding state revenues and incomes in one fiscal year. The state budget is a guide for state administrators in managing finances.

"The state budget is ratified based on an agreement between the government and the DPR. The state budget contains state revenues, state expenditures, and state financing every one fiscal year," said Ari Subagyo.

Apart from the APBN, Ari Subagyo also socialized customs. Customs is one of the many state instruments responsible for collecting state revenues. These revenues include imports or import duties, export duties or exports, excise, and others.

State revenues collected by DJBC in the 2022 fiscal year reached IDR 667.6 trillion. These revenues come from import duties of IDR 51.1 trillion, exit duties of IDR 39.8 trillion, and excise duty of IDR 226.9 trillion. As well as taxes on imports of IDR 349.8 trillion.

"Meanwhile, in Aceh, there are not too many DJBC revenues because most of the commodities are carried out through ports outside Aceh. Aceh's export commodities include crude palm oil, fisheries, coffee, and others," said Ari Subagyo.
