CIANJUR - Satpol PP Cianjur, West Java, took down the Ridwan Kamil For President billboard that was installed in the Cianjur City area, because he had not paid taxes. The Regional Revenue Management Agency (Bappenda) does not know the PARTY that installed the large billboard.

Head of Sub-Section for Registration and Data Collection at Bapenda Cianjur Riyadi Saputra said that he only learned that there were billboards installed on billboards in the Tugu Tauco area, a few days ago, after officers checked the field.

"It is not known who installed the billboards, it is definitely not registered and has not paid taxes. Although Ridwan Kamil is the Governor of West Java, the billboards installed do not contain the West Java Provincial Government program, so they will be taken down," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 12.

He explained that the Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2011 concerning Regional Taxes, said that the billboards were included in the "personal branding" category, so that they were obliged to pay taxes, except for government programs that would not be taxed, only with a permit.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Investigation Section for the Investigation and Enforcement of the Cianjur PP Satpol Severianus Triono Retno Juniswara said that his party took down the billboard with the picture of Ridwan Kamil because it had not paid taxes and was a personal billboard, not an official one.

"Previously we coordinated with the Cianjur Bappenda, because it is suspected that the billboards have not paid taxes and are installed on billboards on Jalan Mangunsarkoro. We will then secure the billboards, waiting for the installers to pick them up," he said.

Until now, his party has not received data on who installed the billboards, so that it was taken down, if they were to be re-installed, they did not prohibit it. However, the installer must fulfill obligations by paying taxes and obtaining permits.

"We will act decisively against those who break the rules or do not fulfill their obligations. We urge you before installing billboards and billboards, please pay taxes and permits first," he said.
