JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), the Ministry of Finance will examine information about 9 million hectares of palm oil that have not paid taxes.

"Regarding palm oil, there is different data information, we will definitely follow up," said Director General of Taxes Suryo Utomo as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, May 11.

Suryo explained that the DGT will take a stand in accordance with applicable protocols, starting with supervision through a Request for Explanation of Data and/or Information (SP2DK).

Then, if there is a request for clarification and Compliance Risk Management (CRM) is issued, the DGT will conduct an examination of the person concerned.

However, Suryo reminded that the management of oil palm land also has its own procedures. The oil palm land manager submitted a Tax Object Notification Letter (SPOP) for Land and Building Taxes (PBB), after which a Debt Tax Return (SPPT) was issued.

Suryo said the SPPT which will later be used to compare the data on alleged debt has not been paid off with the data held by the DGT.

"If there is something different, we will try to match the data with the SPPT data," said Suryo.

On the same occasion, Director of Extensification and Assessment of DJP, Aim Nursalim, added that it was suspected that 9 million oil palm land had not paid taxes were still in the process of crossing which began with the submission of SPPT. Only then will DGT compile data and clarify.

"With 9 million, what has been done by BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agency) for the audit results, we will then discuss this. We are looking for this so that we are more precise in getting the difference," explained Aim.

It is known that the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan revealed that there are 9 million hectares of oil palm land in Indonesia that have not paid taxes.

This can be seen from the results of the BPKP audit of the BPDKS (Badan Pengelola Dana Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit) report, that only 7.3 million hectares of land pay taxes out of a total of 16.8 million hectares.
