This was revealed by the Director of Technical and Excise Facilities Iyan Rubiyanto, saying that a few years ago his party almost imposed excise duty on compact discs (CDs) due to the large number of protests from artists about the rampant circulation of pirated CD sales.

"A few years ago we almost collected pirated CD excise. The intention was good, in the past the artist's information was only 10 percent official, 90 percent of it was in Glodok on the side of the road," Iyan said in a Public Lecture on Excise Potential at STAN, quoted online Wednesday, July 24.

In addition, Iyan conveyed that Customs and Excise also included excise for art entertainment and concert tickets in the practice of excisable goods due to the high public interest in art entertainment that has the potential to increase state revenue.

"This is an entertainment ticket, this is sometimes yesterday a soldout, until there is another concert in Singapore and, then another concert (in other countries). It was bought and I think the Indonesian people are rich," he said.

Furthermore, Iyan conveyed that Customs and Excise also included luxury homes, fast food or fast food, tissue, MSG, coal and detergent in the practice of excisable goods.

Every day we use detergents. Have you ever thought where (determined) it was flowed to? Where was it thrown? Fish were soloized, there were so many ceres, now they don't exist anymore because of detergents," he added.

Iyan conveyed that the practice of imposition of excise duty on fast food or fast food was due to the health dangers of consuming excessive fast food.
