The Economy Is Getting More Investigating, Sri Mulyani Gathers Tax Officials To Hold National Meetings

JAKARTA Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani is known to hold a National Leadership Meeting of the Directorate General (Ditjen) of Taxes to discuss the current situation of the economy. According to him, this initiative is considered important in strengthening the performance of agencies.

"Meeting with the leaders of the Indonesian Directorate General of Taxes to discuss tax strategies in the midst of increasingly challenging global economic conditions," he said in a written statement on Wednesday, July 12.

According to the Minister of Finance, the dynamics that occurred demanded that the Nagara Dana Rakca (as the Ministry of Finance employees) be relevant to the latest developments. This is intended so that his staff remain vigilant even though the revenue target was successfully achieved in the last two editions of the APBN.

"Alhamdulillah, in the last two years our tax revenue has succeeded in exceeding the target. Our tax ratio has succeeded in growing significantly from 9.21 percent in 2021 to 10.39 percent in 2022. In 2023, we remain optimistic that tax revenues will be achieved again and print a hat trick," he said.

The state treasurer admits that with the current global conditions, homework will be more and less difficult.

"For that, I ask that all ranks, especially the leadership of the DGT, always be serious and competent in their work," he said.

The Minister of Finance hopes that taxes must be able to become an instrument to realize social justice for all Indonesian people. He believes this goal can be achieved if he has the desire to continue to change to improve himself and carry out reforms.

"Thank you for the hard work carried out by all levels of the Directorate General of Taxes, especially over the last 4 years where all of you have worked in stressful situations since the pandemic," he said.

"Good job. Take care of your heart, mind, and integrity all of you. Remind each other and strengthen each other for good. May Allah SWT always guide and take care of us in carrying out this extraordinary important state task. From the Second National Leadership Meeting of the Directorate General of Taxes. Jakarta, July 12, 2023," closed the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani.
