Minister Of Finance Sri Mulyani Smiles Happy, SPT Reporter As Of March 9, 2023 Reaches 6.6 Million

JAKARTA - Finance Minister Sri Mulyani said she was happy with the increasing number of taxpayers who reported the annual tax Return (SPT).

The reason is, the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) is faced with chaos after the tax evader case by Rafael Trisambodo Square.

"We are very happy, of course, the community will carry out the obligation of the Law (UU) through e-filling," said Sri Mulyani, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat Youtube, Friday, March 10.

He revealed, as of March 9, 2023, there have been 6.6 million taxpayers who have reported annual SPT.

This achievement, admitted Sri Mulyani, was much higher than last year's 5.5 million whistleblowers, and recorded an increase of up to 20 percent.

"The submission of SPT for private people, which increased in number from last year's 5.5 to 6.6, increased by more than 20 percent," explained Sri Mulyani.

Furthermore, he added, this year's tax revenue also increased rapidly.

As of February 2023, it was reported that total tax revenues had increased by 40 percent from last year.

However, Sri Mulyani was reluctant to specify the amount of tax revenue this year.

"Later, I will hold a special press conference for that, we usually do it next week regarding the condition of the state budget for all tax and customs revenues," concluded Sri Mulyani.
