JAKARTA – The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) continues to make a number of important breakthroughs in order to maintain the chances of achieving tax revenue this year. One that is often used is the search for information through social media.

Recently, crazy rich from Malang with the skipper 99 flag entered the radar. This was conveyed directly by the Special Staff of the Minister of Finance Yustinus Prastowo. He said, one of Juragan 99's business lines could generate revenue of up to trillions of rupiah in a year's business period.

"Crazy Rich Juragan 99 claims that MS Glow's sales reached Rp600 billion per month," Yustinus said through his personal Twitter page @prastow today, Thursday, March 24.

According to Sri Mulyani's subordinates, Gilang Widya Pramana and Shandy Purnamasari as the owner of the MS Glow trademark, they have a deposit obligation to the state because the products sold are subject to tax. In fact, Yustinus voluntarily calculated the value of the tax levy for the married couple.

“(If sales are Rp.600 billion a month, it means) A year's turnover is Rp.7.2 trillion. This means that the levy of VAT (value added tax) of 10 percent of IDR720 billion, "he said.

Yustinus also believes that skipper 99 is difficult to circumvent because he believes the Ministry of Finance already has records and valid data cross-checking methods to ensure the validity of tax collections.

"All you have to do is match it to the VAT and PPh SPT. Hopefully many will show off like this," he said.

For information, the targeted tax value of Rp720 is relatively smaller than the policy that will take effect in the next week. The reason is, starting April 1, 2022, the government will officially increase the VAT rate from 10 percent to 11 percent.

This means that Gilang Juragan 99 and his wife must pay Rp792 billion in taxes from their sales a year with the assumption that the turnover remains the same, which is Rp.7.2 trillion.

"Wow, this is delicious @DitjenPajakRI," said Yustinus while pinning the official Twitter account of the Directorate General of Taxes, Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia.
