BULUNGAN - Efforts to increase the Regional Original Income (PAD) from the Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) sector continue to be driven by the Bulungan Regency Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda).

One of the strategic steps that is now being taken is to strengthen collaboration with the ATR/BPN Bulungan Land Office.

This audience was led directly by the Head of Bapenda Bulungan, HM Zulkifli Salim, along with the heads of the field, was greeted by the Head of the Land Office, Muhammad Eka Diana, along with the heads of the sections in his office.

"This meeting is not just an inter-institutional meeting, but is focused on preparing technical strategies that can be implemented immediately," said Zulkifli, Wednesday, January 28.

In the open dialogue, both parties dissected the classic problem that often hinders the optimization of the PBB-P2, namely the lack of synchronization of data between tax objects and land ownership data.

"We see an urgent need to bring together perceptions and data. Without harmonized data, the potential of the UN-P2 will not be maximized," said Zulkifli.

The official who has only been in office for two weeks as the Head of Bapenda considers that BPN's readiness to share and match data is a breath of fresh air for efforts to improve the regional tax data collection system.

"The essence of the cooperation that has been built is the plan to integrate the BPN's Land Sector Number (NIB) with the Tax Object Number (NOP) owned by Bapenda. Through the integration of the two databases, it is hoped that one reference data will be born that is more accurate, up-to-date, and has a high level of validity," he explained.

He emphasized that from the integrated data, it will be clearly seen who the land owner is, where the tax object is located, and how much the land area is actually the basis for imposing PBB-P2.

"BPN and its ranks are very open. This is an important capital to immediately follow up on cooperation in the form of technical steps in the field," he said.

He added that data improvement is the main foundation before talking about the target of income. With a strong database, the potential for tax leakage can be suppressed and the coverage of tax objects can be expanded.

"This quick step is expected to have a direct impact on the increase in PAD Bulungan, which will eventually be used again for financing development and public services for the community," he said.
