JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) of East Java continues to strive to increase awareness of taxpayers through studies, research and tax education for the community by optimizing the role of universities through the establishment of the Tax Center.

"This tax center is an institution that functions as a center for studying, research, training, and socialization of taxation in universities and communities," said Head of the East Java II DGT Office Agustin Vita Avantin on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Tax Center at the PGRI Sumenep Teacher Training and Education College (STKIP) in Sumenep, East Java, quoted from Antara, Thursday, February 2.

STKIP PGRI Sumenep, which is located at Jalan Trunojoyo Gedungan, Batuan District, is the fourth university on Madura Island to have a Tax Center and 19th in the East Java II DJP Regional Office.

In addition, the two leaders made transfers of cooperation witnessed by the academic community, Forkopimda, BEM administrators and Higher Education Representatives on Madura Island.

Vita said that the efforts of the Directorate General of Taxes to increase tax awareness of the benefits and functions of taxation were needed for tax education, and one of them was through the Tax Center.
