JAKARTA The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) said that in the near future it and the Ministry of Finance will hold a meeting to discuss more deeply the issue of the PBB-P2 and clarify the fatwa on the Tax on Justice.
"God willing, in the near future there will be a meeting between the Ministry of Finance and the MUI," said MUI Chairman for Fatwa, Asrorun Niam Sholeh to VOI, Tuesday, November 25.
As is known, the fatwa regarding the PBB-P2 is the result of the XI MUI National Conference (Munas) which will be held on November 20, 2025.
Previously, the Head of the National Conference Fatwa Commission XI MUI Asrorun Ni 'am Sholeh, explained that the fatwa on Fair Tax emphasized that the earth and buildings occupied were not suitable for repeated taxation.
He added that this fatwa was issued in response to public unrest regarding the increase in the UN which was considered unfair.
"So that it is troubling the community. This fatwa is expected to be a solution for improving regulations," he said.
Furthermore, he emphasized that tax objects should only be imposed on assets that have productive potential or are included in the category of secondary and tertiary needs.
"So the tax collection on something that becomes a basic need, such as basic necessities, and the houses and earth that we live in, does not reflect the justice and purpose of taxes," he said.
According to him, taxes are basically only applied to citizens who have financial capacity.
"In analogy to zakat obligations, the financial capacity is at least sharia equivalent to the nishab zakat mall, which is 85 grams of gold. This could be the PTKP limit," he said.
