JAKARTA - It was revealed that one of the subsidiaries of PT Jakarta Propertindo, namely PT Jakarta Consultindo (Jakkon), had actually had a tax debt for the last seven years since 2015. This was revealed by the Director of PT Jakkon Hani Sumarno in a meeting of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD with the ranks of PT Jakpro and its subsidiaries. "Jakna ada utang pajak selama 7 tahun dan laporan keuangan berrugikan. Jadi, selama 7 tahun ini kemudian kami selesaikan dalam 1 tahun, tahun 2022 ini, 6 tahun dari 7 tahun utang telah kami tangani," kata Hani di gedung DPRD DKI Jakarta, Selasa, 31 Januari. Hani said, the settlement of the company's tax debt in the fields of planning, architecture, design, and urbanism, which will be carried out starting in 2022 is an effort to recover the company from the reputation aspect. "It hasn't been paid off because it takes time. However, we are committed to the tax office, so we can get quite a lot of convenience," he said. In addition, Jakkon also has debts to 80 experts worth IDR 16.7 billion. This is based on the results of the KAP audit in 2021. Now, the debt to the experts is also being resolved. Furthermore, Hani explained that the company's room performance is still at a loss. However, he claims that his party has started to reduce the loss rate in 2022. "For post-restment, from a pure loss in 2021 of Rp. 24.2 billion, for 1 year we were able to improve it so that now the loss is Rp. 9.8 billion," he said. Some time ago, the DKI Jakarta DPRD highlighted the condition of PT Jakpro's subsidiaries, which seemed to increase the burden on regionally owned companies because they continued to lose money. In fact, the DKI Provincial Government continues to disburse regional capital participation (PMD) through the APBD, not less than Rp1 trillion to Jakpro every year. For the record, there are 7 subsidiaries who have been supporting PT Jakpro's business, namely PT PMJ Land, PT Jakarta Consultindo, PT LRT Jakarta, PT Jakarta Utilitas Propertindo, PT Jakarta Infrastruktur Propertindo, Jakarta Oses Energi, PT Jakarta Solusi Lestari. Deputy Chairman of Commission C DPRD DKI Jakarta Rasyidi asked the Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD) to merge or merge a number of subsidiaries belonging to PT Jakpro. According to Rasyidi, Jakpro's business coverage along with its subsidiary is too large. So, according to the DPRD, Jakpro often does not focus on carrying out developments assigned by local governments. "From their explanation, we see that there are (agencies) that need to be combined. For example, there are subsidiaries whose only duties are to rent out houses, land, that's all. So, we conveyed to the head of BP BUMD that if possible, just combine them, "” Rasyidi said.
