JAKARTA - The government has started matching daily data on export volumes, selling prices, payment of duties, and taxes. The system is used to detect transaction discrepancies in coal, palm oil, and ferroalloy commodities.
Minister of Mineral Resources and Investment Rosan Roeslani said that data that had previously been spread across various ministries and agencies was now drawn into one platform.
"Previously the data was on its own. Now we can capture all the information that exists," said Rosan at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Monday (20/7).
Data is collected from among others, the Customs, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The government then compares the origin of goods, export volume, price, payment of duties, and tax obligations.
If a difference is found, the system will send a warning to the relevant agencies. The warning can be forwarded to the Customs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, or Ministry of Trade.
According to Rosan, data consolidation is needed to detect under-invoicing practices. This practice is carried out by listing export values below market prices.
Current monitoring covers three main commodities and their derivatives. The government is still carrying out an evaluation for three months before entering the next phase.
