JAKARTA - The government has confirmed that the release of the Land and Building Rights Acquisition Tax (BPHTB) and Building Building Approval (PBG) is only given to low-income people (MBR), not the upper middle class.
Minister of Housing and Spatial Planning (PKP) Maruarar Sirait said the policy was part of the government's efforts to help small citizens have a home.
"Before you pay, now it's free. But for MBR," said Maruarar Sirait or who is familiarly called Ara at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday (9/6).
MBR is a low-income community who is the main target of the government's subsidized housing program.
Ara explained that PBG is a new term for a building permit or IMB. Meanwhile, BPHTB is a tax that is usually paid when a person obtains rights to land or buildings.
He emphasized that the upper middle class must still pay the obligation.
"The state's policy is that if the upper middle class has to pay. Those below us give it for free. That is the state that is present to provide justice," he said.
