Special Staff (Stafsus) Minister of Finance Yustinus Prastowo (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Special Staff (Stafsus) of the Minister of Finance Yustinus Prastowo opened his voice regarding the viral news that coffins from abroad are subject to 30 percent tax. He said there were no fees such as those discussed on social media X. Prastowo said that the entire corpse service was served by the PIBK mechanism with the charge of zero rupiah levies, aka no import duty fees. There is no collection of fees for coffins.' That there are costs/excess collections from the corpse handlego party is the cost of handling corpses (carrying warehouses, ambulances etc.), in which there is no import fee of Import Duty & Taxes, he wrote on the account X @prastow, quoted on Sunday, May 12. Furthermore, Prastowo admitted that he had coordinated with all related parties, including the Head of the Soekarno-Hatta C Customs KPU Gatot Sugeng Wibowo to ensure the news of the imposition of taxes on the coffin. "We make sure there is no such levy. We have also checked the documents and communicated with the parties," he said. Therefore, Prastowo asked the owner of the @ClarissaIcha account to provide further explanation regarding the information he uploaded regarding the coffin subject subject to a tax of 30 percent tax.

Previously, the @ClarissaIcha account shared the experience of a friend who wanted to bring home his father's body from Malaysia. However, the coffin was subject to an import duty fee by Customs and Excise of 30 percent of the price of the coffin. "Mbak @ClarissaIcha, we are still waiting for his good faith to provide additional explanations. Since yesterday, BC friends have also tried to ask for your explanation. Your response is very normative and far from trying to reveal the real facts. Please don't spread hoaxes," Prastowo wrote.
