JAKARTA - West Java Provincial DPRD member Daddy Rohanady said West Java's revenue was not optimal from the industrial sector, although many factories were established in West Java.

Daddy said that West Java has hundreds of factories, but taxes from the company do not enter the area, because the domicile of the head office is outside the province.

"Cikarang, for example. There, the contents of the company are so large. But PPH 21 and PPH 25 of the Agency, all of them enter DKI. Because the office is in DKI," said Daddy, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, July 16.

In fact, according to him, the West Java Regional Budget per year can penetrate up to IDR 60 trillion, if the regulations made by the central government follow the location of the established factory.

Therefore Daddy hopes that legislators from West Java who are in Senayan can help fight for this, so that the budget they have more and the programs that have been prepared can be accelerated more quickly.

"If the policy shifts, I'm sure West Java can reach up to IDR 60 trillion in the APBD. So we hope the regulations change. Friends in Senayan, the homework," said Daddy.

Unmaximized revenue, said Daddy, greatly affects the smooth running of the planned development program, as budget allocations for auto-programs are reduced due to declining revenues in West Java.

Therefore, all efforts must be made, including peering into the company's tax loopholes.

"This is a note. When 2023 is not achieved 100 percent in revenue, in 2024 we hope there will be improvements," he said.

Regional revenue in 2023 is known to have realized Rp34.77 trillion or 97.62 percent, consisting of local revenue realized Rp24.37 trillion or 98.29 percent. Transfer income was realized Rp10.28 trillion or 95.96 percent and other income was realized Rp115 billion or 107.92 percent.

Meanwhile, regional expenditures were realized amounting to IDR 35.51 trillion or 95.56 percent. Expenditures consist of operating expenditures of IDR 19.09 trillion, capital expenditures of IDR 2.52 trillion, unexpected expenditures of IDR 23.60 billion and transfer expenditures of IDR 13.87 trillion.

"For Silpa, it was recorded at Rp800.40 billion," said Daddy Rohanady.
