The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) ensures that tax audits are not based on subjective reasons.

In an official statement, reported by Antara, Wednesday, September 20, the Director of Counseling, Services, and the DGT Community, Dwi Astuti said that his party in conducting education, supervision, and examinations is always professional and upholds integrity based on laws and regulations.

Dwi explained that the DGT did two things to check. First, taxpayers (WP) apply for a tax refund (restitution). Second, testing taxpayer compliance using risk analysis based on third party data received by the DGT (Compliance Risk Management/CRM).

CRM is a risk management process for taxpayer compliance carried out in a structured, methodical and objective manner to map the profile of taxpayers based on compliance risk.

The process includes stages of preparation activities, context determination, risk analysis, risk mitigation strategies by determining treatment options, as well as monitoring and evaluating compliance risks.

With this process, Dwi ensured that the tax audit carried out by the DGT was not based on certain subjective reasons.

In addition, Dwi continued, DGT conveyed an appeal first to taxpayers before conducting an inspection. The appeal aims to provide an opportunity for taxpayers to correct the Annual Notification Letter (SPT).

The appeal also provides space for taxpayers to deposit tax deficiencies into the state treasury.

It is known, DGT also plans to implement a new tax administration core system or the coretax administration system. The system is targeted to be implemented in 2024.

In this system, DGT will operate the main business through data-based systems and tax information, ranging from services, counseling, supervision, examination, law enforcement, to collection.
