Director of Intel DJP Tightens Supervision of Tax Criminal Cases

JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance has reaffirmed its commitment to eradicating tax crimes to secure and optimize state revenues. This effort is an important part of supporting the achievement of tax revenue targets in the State Budget (APBN) for 2026.

The strengthening of supervision is carried out through the optimization of the role of the Directorate of Tax Intelligence in carrying out activities to collect, process, and analyze tax information. Through this intelligence function, the DJP seeks to detect potential tax payer non-compliance early, identify the risk of state revenue leakage, and uncover various tax crime modus operandi.

This step is strengthened by the use of increasingly sophisticated data analytics technology, the integration of information from various data sources, including third-party data, as well as increased synergy with law enforcement (APH) in the process of enforcing laws in the field of taxation.

"We continue to strengthen supervision by utilizing data from third parties and analytics to detect irregularities quickly," said Neilmaldrin Noor, Director of Intel DJP.

On various occasions, tax authorities have emphasized that law enforcement against tax crimes, such as issuing fictitious tax invoices and not depositing taxes that have been collected, will be carried out firmly and without discrimination.

This is evidenced by a series of arrests of suspects and evidence to the District Attorney's Office and the disclosure of a number of cases, including the case of fictitious tax invoices that have harmed the state by hundreds of billions of rupiah.

As part of this commitment, the DJP has followed up on various cases to the enforcement stage, including the detention of company executives suspected of committing tax crimes. Several cases, including those successfully completed to the stage of handing over evidence to the Prosecutor's Office.

In addition to law enforcement efforts, the DJP also emphasizes the importance of preventive measures through strengthening the governance of transparent and accountable organizations. The Directorate of Tax Intelligence also provides analysis and strategic recommendations to related units in the DJP environment to increase taxpayer compliance and strengthen the risk-based supervision system.

With the strong commitment of the intelligence and tax enforcement authorities, it is hoped that the compliance rate of taxpayers will continue to increase so that state revenue leakage can be minimized and the tax revenue target in 2026 can be optimally achieved.
