The assets of a tax suspect with the initials SPR in Cilongok Village, Banyumas Regency, Central Java, were confiscated by the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY).

"The confiscation was carried out to secure the suspect's assets as collateral for the recovery of losses to state revenues caused by the crime committed by the suspect through PT VAI," said Head of the Investigation, Collection, Intelligence and Investigation Division of DIY Dwi Hariyadi through an official statement, Wednesday, August 30, confiscated by Antara.

PT VAI is known to be engaged in large trading of packaged cooking oil (migr). In this case, the SPR suspect through PT VAI is estimated to have cost the state Rp8,347 billion.

Meanwhile, regarding the confiscation of assets, Dwi said this was in accordance with the issuance of a confiscated warrant and a confiscation permit from the Wates District Court (PN), Kulon Progo and Purwokerto District Court.

A number of assets of the SPR suspect confiscated in the form of land and buildings located in Kulon Progo Regency with a market value of IDR 3,545,091,000.

DGT investigators previously also confiscated the assets of the SPR suspect in the form of taxpayers' movable assets such as operational trucks and passenger vehicles.

According to Dwi, the assets that have been confiscated can still be used as taxpayers as long as there is no court decision (vonis) from the Wates District Court.

"The confiscation of assets belonging to the suspect by investigators is DGT's commitment to act decisively against taxpayers who deliberately commit criminal acts in the field of taxation and are expected to have a deterrent effect on other taxpayers," he said. The SPR was named a suspect in March 2023. The taxpayer and cooking oil entrepreneur is suspected of submitting a notification letter (SPT) which contains engineered or incorrect.

Dwi said that the act of the SPR suspect violated Article 39 paragraph (1) letter d of Law Number 28 of 2007 concerning the Third Amendment to Law Number 6 of 1983 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures, from January 2017 to April 2018.
