SOLO - Mayor of Solo, Central Java, Gibran Rakabuming Raka confirmed the postponement of the increase in land and building tax rates (PBB) after a polemic emerged among the community. "There is no increase, yes. It's all made good, people don't need to panic," he said after hosting the chairman of the Solo City DPRD and the chairman of the PDIP faction of the Surakarta City DPRD in Pracima Tuin Solo, Antara, Tuesday, February 7. There will be a reprinting of the UN bill. In addition, the public can also view the UN bill online. "But it took a week to update the data base," he said. With no increase in UN rates, it will maximize revenue through other taxes. "Yes, we continue to maximize the UN, receivables, entertainment taxes, restaurants, hotels. The point is that the PBB does not increase, the target (regional revenue) is to use 2023, the tariff is to use 2022," he said. For taxpayers who have already paid the PBB, restitution will be carried out. Meanwhile, Chairman of the PDIP faction of the Surakarta City DPRD YF Sukasno appreciated Gibran for being responsive to the people of Solo City. "Hopefully people will calm down again, tentrem, telecom, return to their original state. Postponed until an indefinite time limit," he said. The consideration of the postponement is for the public to be calmer. "The decision of NJOP, the UN is in the regional head, we voiced that the postponement was decided by the guardian. It doesn't seem halal if the increase causes unrest," he said. Asked about the advice from the Surakarta City DPRD, he said that intensification and extensification efforts should be made. "The debt is still large, it can be maximized," he said.
