PURWOKERTO - The State Tax Confiscation Officer (JSPN) of the Tax Service Office (KPP) Pratama Purbalingga confiscated the assets of tax arrears in Kalimanah District, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java, worth Rp. 80 million.

"We confiscated assets on Tuesday (19/10)," said Acting Head of KPP Pratama Purbalingga Raden Agus Setiawan in a press release from the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes Central Java II, quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 21.

He said the total value of the confiscated assets was IDR 80 million from the tax payer's arrears in the form of a tax assessment letter (SKP) in 2016 and had not been repaid. The assets seized were cars.

KPP expects that the active collection action can serve as an example to provide a deterrent effect, especially for tax arrears and taxpayers in general so that they can carry out their tax obligations in accordance with applicable regulations.

"It is hoped that this confiscation can present a deterrent effect for tax arrears, especially in the working area of KPP Pratama Purbalingga," said Agus.

If the tax insurer has not paid off the tax debt along with the collection fee within 14 days after the confiscation, the four-wheeled vehicle that is the object of the confiscation will be auctioned with an announcement of the auction first.

According to Law Number 19 of 2000, he said, the confiscation can be carried out if within 2x24 hours after the notification of the forced letter, the tax guarantor still does not pay off his tax debt.

In an effort to secure tax revenue, he continued, KPP Pratama Purbalingga prioritizes a persuasive approach so that taxpayers fulfill their obligations.

"The confiscation is the last step because taxpayers still do not pay off their tax debts within the specified period," said Agus.
