E-Commerce

JAKARTA - Commission B for the Economy of the Surabaya City DPRD, East Java, assesses that the Surabaya City Government's move to provide facilities for facilitating payment of land and building taxes (PBB) through e-commerce is a step forward.

Member of Commission B of the Surabaya City DPRD, Alfian Limardi in Surabaya, said that with this policy, it would be easier for the public to pay the PBB.

"People no longer have to be in the bank but can be at Tokopedia, Indomaret, and other e-commerce channels," said Alfian as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, January 23.

He explained, along with the mobility of residents who tend to be fast, practical, efficient, it is time for PBB payments to be made at e-commerce, so they don't have to be in Bank Jatim, Balai RW.

"I myself have tried to pay the PBB via Tokopedia, and it is very practical," he said.

Alfian believes that payments through e-commerce will address leaks because the payments are in accordance with the listed prices. Unlike cash, there is no remaining suspension, for example, the remaining Rp300 or Rp500.

The remaining nominal, continued Alfian, is it not known where the others went? It may not be included in the local government treasury.

"This can increase PAD (regional original income). Moreover, we have a taxline Surabaya smart city," he said.

Head of the Surabaya City Regional Revenue Agency, Musdiq Ali Suhudi, said that his party provided convenience for people who would pay the United Nations through several e-commerce (online stores), including Tokopedia, Shopee, Blibli Alfamart, Indomaret and OVO.

"The payment can also be through QRIS and payments through the mobile application of Bank Jatim, Mandiri and BNI," he said.

According to him, the payment of the United Nations through e-commerce aims to make it easier for the public, from time to distance. For those who will pay the United Nations, it is enough to open an application for merchants or mobile banking via mobile phones.
