JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta One Stop Integrated Service and Investment Service (DPMPTSP) said that the alleged irregularities in permits by the Holywings business group had an impact on regional revenues, particularly from the tax sector.

"There are tax implications and other things, but the point is, the DKI Regional Government continues to encourage ease of doing business," said Head of DKI DPMPTSP Benni Aguscandra after attending the 2022 DKI business economic seminar in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 28.

However, Benni did not disclose how much the impact of the loss caused by the deviation of the business license carried out by the place of business.

Meanwhile, on a separate occasion, the DKI Jakarta Entertainment Entrepreneurs Association, Hana Suryani, said that Holywings was not a member of the association.

Even so, he continued, so far the imposition of taxes on these businesses is known to be a restaurant tax, but its operations also include entertainment.

"Because Holywings is a restaurant tax. That's what makes other entertainment companies jealous. So why is it entertainment but why is it a restaurant tax? That's why he can sell it for that cheap. Alcohol is free. For us, in entertainment, alcohol is expensive, 25 percent, " said Hannah.

Meanwhile, the DKI Satpol PP on Tuesday simultaneously closed all 12 Holywings outlets in the capital, with details of five outlets in South Jakarta, North Jakarta (4), West Jakarta (2) and Central Jakarta (1).

"Today, we have closed all the places of business activity and cannot operate," said the Head of DKI Satpol PP, Arifin.

Arifin explained that the closure of the business premises refers to a letter from the DKI Jakarta One Stop Service Investment Service (DPMPTSP) which revoked the Business Registration Number (NIB) for all Holywings outlets.

The revocation of the NIB was based on the recommendation of the Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office on June 24, 2022, after the joint integrated team supervised the business outlets.

The joint officers consist of the Parekraf Service, PTMPTSP Service, the DKI Jakarta Trade, Industry, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (PPKUKM) Service and the DKI Satpol PP.

From the results of research and examination of documents and field monitoring, officers found that Holywings served alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as snacks.

However, several Holywings outlets have not yet obtained a verified standard certificate for the Indonesian Standard Classification of Business Fields (KBLI) 56301 types of bar businesses.

In addition, officers found activities that were not in accordance with the permits they had because they featured entertainment activities such as music concerts, domestic and foreign disc jockey performances accompanied by discos.

Not only a matter of inappropriate business activities, the DKI PPKUKM Service found 12 Holywings outlets only pocketing a Retailer's Certificate (SKP) for alcoholic beverages.

If you only have an SKP, then the sale is only allowed to be taken home and not to be drunk on the spot.

Meanwhile, Holywings provides drinks in places that legally should have a Direct Seller Certificate (SKPL) class B and C.

The team found that seven outlets had SKP, and five other outlets did not have the letter.
