JAKARTA – As the number one person in the Ministry of Finance, Sri Mulyani certainly has the authority to control all aspects related to state finances, including collecting taxes.
A good example is shown by the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani. According to her, even though she is the head of the state treasury, she still has to fulfill her tax obligations. Not only that, but the Minister of Finance also admitted that she received a reminder letter for paying taxes as received by the public.
“Because I have an NPWP, I can also blast a letter from Mr. Suryo (Director General of Taxes). So (the contents are) Mrs. Sri Mulyani, who is kind, don't forget to pay taxes", she said in a virtual discussion on Wednesday, March 23.
In fact, the Minister of Finance explained that the tax collection letter also included an invitation to take part in the tax amnesty volume II agenda if you have assets that have not been declared.
“(The letter said) If you have hidden assets, join PPS (Voluntary Disclosure Program). I got the letter, so now it's not indiscriminate", she said.
