JATENG - Around 1,000 fishermen in Cilacap Regency demonstrated against the imposition of non-tax state revenues (PNBP) as regulated in Government Regulation Number 85 of 2021 because it burdens fishing communities.

This decontration took place in front of the Cilacap Ocean Fishing Port Office (PPSC), Central Java (Central Java), Thursday, January 19. Various speeches were presented by representatives of fishermen and ship entrepreneurs during this demonstration.

The field coordinator for the Sugiyamin fishermen's demonstration said the implementation of PNBP of 10 percent was very burdensome for fishermen.

"We also object to the imposition of a fine of 1,000 percent and the cost of mooring the anchor (parking the ship at the port, ed.)," said Sugiyamin, who is also the head of the PPSC Fishermen's Group, was confiscated by Antara.

Therefore, Cilacap fishermen refuse the implementation of PP Number 85 of 2021.

One of the fishing boat entrepreneurs, Ahuan, said that the implementation of Government Regulation No. 85/2021 also burdened ship entrepreneurs because they were also burdened with other taxes, including banking matters.

"How can we improve the welfare of workers (the fishermen who work on fishing vessels, ed.) if this is the case," said the member of the Cilacap Fish Ship Entrepreneurs Association (APKI).
