JAKARTA - The All-Indonesian Housing and Settlement Developers Association (Apersi) hopes that the government will abolish land and building rights acquisition fees (BPHTB) and simplify the requirements for applying for subsidized housing ownership loans (KPR) so that they can be reached by low-income people.

"The requirements for this mortgage are very many, if I'm not mistaken, the stamps are up to 12 with many statements that must be fulfilled," said DPP Apersi Chairman Junaidi Abdillah as quoted by Antara, Monday, August 22.

Apersi, said Junaidi, also expects government support to provide a number of tax incentives and ease of licensing in providing subsidized housing.

"Among them are the long-term Value Added Tax (VAT) incentives so that the property industry will continue to run, because in the short term there are doubts from friends who will build it," he said.

Junaidi said, Apersi seeks to assist the government in accelerating the provision of subsidized housing for Low-Income Communities (MBR) in line with the increasing housing needs.

Even so, his party also considers the affordability aspect of the community as consumers, thus asking for support from the government and Commission V of the House of Representatives to find a joint solution for this.

Junaidi added that the regional government also supports the central government in determining zoning for MBR residential areas, providing land for MBR housing, implementing BPHTB incentives in all regions, and resolving licensing issues, especially the transition from Building Construction Permits (IMB) to Building Construction Approval (PBG). ).

"It requires consistency and standardization of permits and regulations. In addition, the government must immediately determine the selling price of subsidized houses following the increase in land acquisition prices, materials, and the inflation rate," he concluded.
