The Mataram District Attorney, West Nusa Tenggara, noted that as many as 13 hotels, pubs and restaurants are still in arrears in paying income taxes with a total value of Rp. 14 billion.

Head of the Intelligence Section of the Mataram Kejari Harun Alrasyid in Mataram, Wednesday, said the tax arrears record was a follow-up to the local government's mandate to collect tax payments against business owners.

"So, with the SKK (special power) that we get from the government, the Mataram Kejari through the function of JPN (state attorneys) collects tax arrears," Harun said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, September 13.

In an effort to increase local revenue, the Mataram Kejari has taken part in an effort with the tax arrears and signed an agreement to pay off.

"From the agreement, these tax arrears are ready to complete the payment before the agreed deadline," he said.

The prosecutor's efforts are still in the context of resolving tax debt problems through non-tigation channels.

"According to the agreement, they still have time to pay off taxes. If they are still stubborn and don't pay, we will take litigation efforts," he added.

The SKK received by the Mataram Kejari comes from the North Lombok Regency Government, West Lombok, and the Mataram City Government.

The decree is still related to requests for non-tigation legal assistance in the settlement of tax arrears.

Reporting from ANTARA, the list of hotels, pubs and restaurants that are recorded to be still in arrears of tax are The Santosa Villas & Resort worth Rp7.4 billion, PT Green Enterprise Golong Rp1.24 billion, Kebun Vila Rp426 million, Bintang Senggigi Hotel Rp214 million, PT Loligo Brama Lestari Rp263 million, Belina Bar & Restaurant Rp380 million, Sasak Garden Rp639 million, Blue Safir Cafe & Karaoke Rp61 million, Mekar Senggigi Club Rp310 million, PT Reso Seravan Mandiri Rp125 million, Living Asia Rp1.85 billion, PT Asano Rp596 million, and Golden Palace Hotel Rp1.25 billion.
