SOLO - Mayor of Solo, Central Java, Gibran Rakabuming Raka said there was a stimulus to increase land and building taxes (PBB). "The increase is high, the stimulus is also high. If you want a request for a reduction, discount, you can," he said in Solo, Antara, Sunday, February 5. The increase in the amount of the United Nations is natural because Solo is a municipality. In addition, massive infrastructure development has been carried out since the last few times. "Solo is already a city, you know, it has really developed. The value of the land will definitely increase," he said. Moreover, he said, houses near tourist attractions and several business areas. "The houses are around the museum, Pedaringan, around Technopark, Waterpark, around Solo Safari," he said. He said the increase in the selling value of tax objects (NJOP) was to pursue the original regional revenue target (PAD) of Surakarta City. In 2023, the Surakarta City PAD target will increase by Rp80 billion compared to last year's Rp820 billion. Meanwhile, related to the increase in the PBB, many residents submitted complaints to the Surakarta Complaint Service Unit (ULAS), one of which was Siti Rahayu. This resident of Kadipiro Village, Banjarsari District, conveyed that the value of the land tax was too high so it was not appropriate when compared to his monthly income. "Mas Gibran, I live in the house where my parents (the death of my parents) feel like I have contracted. The tax value is too large compared to my income and my needs. Previously, it was around Rp. 5,600,000, now it is Rp. 14,200,000. I have a gross income of Rp. 3 million, opo, can I afford it?," he wrote. Another resident, Ginanjar, also regretted that the increase in the United Nations was carried out without starting with socialization to the public. "Mas Wali, I checked the 2023 PBB, my house increased dramatically from Rp600 to Rp1 million. I checked through the Solo Destination application, it rose very high, and without any socialization," wrote the resident of Jajar Village, Laweyan District.
