Dudung said, before the process of confiscation of the taxpayer's assets, the Regional Office of DJP East Java II always prioritized persuasive collection actions to taxpayers.

"Taxpayers are encouraged to comply with applicable regulations, but if this is not successful, then active billing will be carried out, including the confiscation action," he said.

Dudung said, several Tax Service Offices (KPP) within the East Java II Regional Tax Office have also taken active collection actions by seizing the assets of tax arrears, including KPP Madya Sidoarjo, KPP Madya Gresik, KPP Pratama Lamongan, KPP Pratama Sidoarjo Barat, and KPP Pratama Sidoarjo Barat, and KPP Pratama Gresik.

"The confiscated taxpayer assets ranged from trucks, cars, houses, bank accounts, to cash," he said.

The confiscation of taxpayer assets carried out by the Regional Office of the DJP East Java II shows the seriousness of law enforcement in the field of taxation.

"Strict law enforcement is expected to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of tax crimes, as well as an effort to secure state revenues," he said.
