For people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to pay PBB on site, today Monday (16/1) can come directly to the Malang City Hall by bringing proof of payment of PBB the previous year.

Not only that, this occasion also marked the start of the Program Sunset Policy II and the program to reduce the principal of PBB determination for farmers starting from January 16 to April 17, 2017.

Menurut frontman d'Kross Community, after the Sunset Policy Program in 2016, the recorded tax receivables of Rp 110 billion have shrunk to less than Rp 80 billion. This, said the former Head of Public Relations of the Malang City Government, is a sign that more and more taxpayers are fulfilling their tax obligations.
"We group them into two groups. Conventional defaulters will be given amnesty. After following the Sunset Policy, they will become 'new' taxpayers and in the future will be more loyal and disciplined in paying taxes. The second group, namely the farmer group who received a fairly large tax relief," said the alumni of Gajah Mada University (UGM).
The national youth figure who is also known as a musician explained that currently there are around 860 hectares of productive agricultural land that must be protected by the local government. Therefore, farmers are motivated to continue working their land through regional tax relief. Thus, the Malang City Government hopes that no land will be sold to be used for housing.
In addition, according to Ade, the relief of PBB withdrawals from farmers is an effort by the city government to ensure food security in Malang City remains good. He explained that the Malang City Agriculture Service has data related to farmer groups that work on 860 hectares of land in Malang City. These farmers will later receive PBB relief.
However, Ade said that PBB from farmers will not be included in the Sunset Policy II target projection. Conventional defaulters will be the main WP target for the socialization of this program. According to him, the target Sunset Policy II must exceed similar programs volume one.
"If last year we targeted Rp 500 million and could reach Rp 1,5 billion. So it is hoped that Sunset Policy II can be more than the achievement of the first Sunset Policy," said Sam Ade d'Kross, his nickname. (say/yon)
