JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa ensures that he will not re-examine the assets that have been disclosed by taxpayers participating in the Voluntary Disclosure Program (PPS) or Tax Amnesty Volume II.
His statement was to clarify information regarding the examination of PPS participants which had previously been conveyed by the Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto.
"Basically, those who have tax amnesty will not be dug up who have been registered. In the future, they must pay according to their business only, business development as usual," said Purbaya as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 11.
He appealed to the participants of the tax amnesty not to interpret the information in the news excessively and to continue to carry out tax obligations as they have been carried out so far.
Purbaya also stated that he would reprimand the Director General of Taxes to always maintain the business climate and provide legal certainty, so that the taxpayer's trust and the sustainability of tax information are still well maintained.
In addition, he also plans to make an announcement that tax policy can only be delivered by the Minister of Finance to suppress the discrepancy of tax information.
"So, in the future, the only one who can announce tax policies is not DJP anymore. To eliminate confusion, the Tax Directorate General is only an executor, I do it and make policies," he said.
In the future, Purbaya also does not intend to implement a new tax amnesty. Indonesia has implemented two tax amnesties, namely in 2016 and 2022.
He argues that the tax amnesty policy can open up room for pressure on tax officials, both because of the potential for bribes and because they have to face repeated inspections.
He chose to carry out the tax procedure according to the applicable provisions.
"As long as I am the Minister of Finance, I will not do a tax amnesty," he said.
