JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani today, Friday, February 4, conducted a socialization of the Law on the Harmonization of Tax Regulations (HPP) in Medan, North Sumatra with her staff.

This socialization is a series of roadshows conducted by the Ministry of Finance after previously similar activities were carried out in several areas, such as Bali, Surabaya, Malang, and Jakarta. The event itself was widely broadcast through the Directorate General of Taxes' Youtube channel on Friday afternoon.

One thing that caught the attention of netizens in the direct conversation column which mentioned a lot about the figure of Indra Kenz.

Incidentally, Indra Kenz is a citizen from North Sumatra who is widely known through his actions in cyberspace which displays his identity as a rich young figure with a lot of wealth.

Presumably, netizens hinted at Sri Mulyani's ranks to 'nudge' Indra Kenz to fulfill his obligations to the state in terms of paying taxes. In fact, netizens could even link Indra Kenz with the alleged case of illegal investment instruments that have been said to be affiliated with him.

Apart from this, the presence of Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani in North Sumatra today is sure to bring a strong message to all taxpayers in the region.

For information, the Law on the Harmonization of Tax Regulations (HPP) is one of the newest regulations that accommodates various adjustments to state levies.

The government claims that the regulation reflects the principle of more equitable justice by providing a greater burden of levies for people with higher incomes. On the other hand, small communities are given lower obligations or even the elimination of levies.

In addition, the HPP Law also made history by planning to collect a carbon tax for the first time on economic activities that have a greater environmental impact.
