Tax Revenue Has Not Been Maximum, Bogor City Bapenda Performance Evaluation Council

BOGOR - Commission II made the working meeting for the discussion of the 2025 RAPBD a forum to evaluate the performance of the Bogor City Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), Tuesday, October 29.

Deputy Chairperson I of the Bogor City DPRD, M Rusli Prihatevy who is also the coordinator of Commission II of the Bogor City DPRD, assessed that the performance of the Bogor City Bapenda has not been maximized in withdrawing taxes for the Bogor City PAD.

He also questioned the tax payer's receivables based on the Ministry of Finance's SIKD data, which only realized 79.59 percent.

"Bapenda must be able to maximize taxes that have not been withdrawn so that the realization of regional taxes can be 100 percent," explained Rusli.

Especially for taxes from the UN sector, according to Rusli, the realization must be maximized. This aims to increase the PAD of Bogor City which will contribute to the increasing APBD of Bogor City.

Because there are still many arrears from the UN tax that have not been paid and this is a huge potential income for the City of Bogor.

Rusli also emphasized that the tax options that are currently being transferred to the Bogor City Government must be maximized by Bappeda.

"Bapenda must be more creative in attracting UN tax arrears. So that the Bogor City PAD can increase and have a positive impact on the Bogor City APBD structure," said Rusli.

At the same location, a member of Commission II of the Bogor City DPRD, Akhmad Saeful Bakhri, hopes that Bapenda will evaluate the optimization of income.

By opening it, consolidation and coordination rooms with other relevant agencies. This aims to solve potential and opportunities and obstacles and problems together through the strategy of the Office's activity program.

"For example, with the Dinkopukmdagin regarding restaurant taxes, Disparbud related to hotel restaurants taxes for entertainment cafes, parking taxes with Transportation Agency and others," said ASB.
