No More Tax Payment, Veterans, Teachers And Residents Of The Poor Category In Sragen Can Feel Relieved
SRAGEN - Sragen Regent Sigit Pamungkas issued a policy of exemption from land taxes and rural and urban buildings (PBB-P2) for four priority groups starting in 2025.
"For the four categories of society, one is for residents who are categorized as poor, the second is people with disabilities, the third is veterans or fighters, and the fourth is teachers with low income," said Sigit in Sragen Regency, Central Java, Antara, Friday, August 15.
He said this tax exemption is a form of government concern for people who need economic support as well as a step to ease the tax burden on citizens in the midst of challenging economic conditions.
According to Sigit, marginalized groups such as underprivileged residents and people with disabilities need to get more attention from the government. In addition, this policy is a form of appreciation to teachers and veterans who have contributed to Indonesia's independence.
"This policy was born from our desire to provide justice and convenience for the people who have been an important part of Sragen. We provide this tax as a form of appreciation, empathy, and the government's social responsibility," he said.
He assigned the Sragen Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKPD) to record taxpayers receiving UN exemptions. Once the data and regulations are ready, this policy will be implemented immediately.

Sigit ensured that the release of the PBB-P2 would not interfere with regional development targets. The Sragen Regency Government still guarantees that public services and infrastructure development run optimally by optimizing regional income from other potential sectors.
There is indeed a potential decline in income, but the benefits felt by the community are much greater. The money they should have paid for taxes can be used for daily needs, children's education, or family health. For us, the welfare of citizens is a priority that cannot be measured only by the number of regional revenues," he said.
