JAKARTA - Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD opens the possibility of summoning PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) to investigate the issue of inflating the payment of land and building rights (BPHTB) on land in Senopati, South Jakarta worth Rp. 18 billion.

Chairman of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Ismail, said the possibility of the summons was made in a special session. Moreover, the tax inflating information that is being investigated by the Polda Metro Jaya has not been conveyed comprehensively to members of the council regarding the case.

"Until now, there has not been too much data submitted and there has been no specific answer about it when asked by one member. It could be that later we will be summoned, we will make a special session for further investigation," said Ismail in Jakarta, Tuesday, February 7, quoted from Antara.

Previously, PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) stated that it was conducting an internal audit regarding the problem of inflating the payment of Land and Building Rights Feasibility (BPHTB) on land in the Senopati area, South Jakarta, which amounted to Rp. 18 billion.

"We pay Rp. 18 billion. But about how much to pay, this is a process, yes. I'm afraid I'm considered ahead of the legal process. It's still being audited by us, we also have a surprise," said VP Corporate Secretary of PT Jakpro Syachrial Syarif when contacted Monday (6/2).

Payment of the land BPHTB in the Senopati area, said Syachrial, has been paid since 2022. However, he did not know the exact time of payment.

"I also just found out now about the overpayment," he said.
