JAKARTA - The Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, seems to be trying several ways to ensure the performance of the agency she leads achieves the best results. Most recently, the Minister of Finance invited all Coordinating Ministers (Menko) in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet to attend the SPT reporting ceremony for state officials.

Not only that, but the Minister of Finance also invited the Indonesian National Police Chief and the TNI (Army) Commander to participate in this event.

In her remarks, the State Treasurer made a satire about the possible absence of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. However, Coordinating Minister Luhut finally took the time to participate in the agenda.

“Mr. Luhut repeatedly said that the price of coal would increase, and the payment to the government would increase. But Mr. Luhut's personal taxes will also increase. That's why I said that he had to attend today because earlier he said he was a bit unable to attend. Then I said that the richest coordinating minister will not come later, the symbol will not be good", said the Minister of Finance through a virtual channel on Tuesday, March 8, which was immediately greeted with a smile by the Coordinating Minister Luhut.

For information, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, is indeed known as a bureaucrat who has a business in the coal mining sector. He became a shareholder in PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk.

According to VOI records, Toba Bara Sejahtera has a production concession area of 7,087 hectares located in Sangasanga, Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan with coal reserves of 147 million tons and coal resources of 236 million tons.

Furthermore, the state treasurer explained that the taxes paid by the community, including officials, were evidence of participation in development.

"This is also a very good symbol for all of us to see that important state institution, which maintain the security and safety of the Indonesian people, and their officials carry out their obligations to submit Annual Tax Returns for individuals", he said.

As is known, the personal annual SPT reporting period for this year has entered the last month. The government stipulates that the deadline for reporting is until March 31.
