Kedungkandang (malangkota.go.id) – The Tax Mafia Sweep Operation is one of the main concerns of the Malang City Regional Tax Service Agency (BP2D).
After exposing the practices of the advertising tax broker syndicate, now it is the turn of the former Regional Revenue Service (Dispenda) OPD to uncover fraudulent Land and Building Acquisition Tax (BPHTB) brokers.
Almost similar to the previous case, indications of tax money misappropriation were found by BP2D officers referring to the results of the BPHTB payment account audit. From there, it was found that a number of Taxpayers (WP) had not made payments for their tax obligations with a value reaching hundreds of millions of rupiah.
That was what was conveyed by the Head of BP2D Malang City Ir. Ade Herawanto, MT, Thursday (20/4). He added, after being investigated, in fact there were serious violations carried out by certain tax brokers who are also commonly called 'freelance' The.
"The mode is, the . "This takes advantage of the closeness with notaries or Land Deed Officials (PPAT) who entrust the process of managing documents and paying their clients' taxes to them," said Ade.
In the process, he said, it turned out that the money that should have been deposited never entered the Bank Jatim account as the bank managing the regional cash. "Now all processes can be monitored online online and the money deposited goes directly into the regional cash management bank account," he added.
To facilitate his naughty practices, continued the man who is also familiarly called Ade D'Kross, the... . This naughty person even dared to forge notary forms, Regional Tax Payment Letter (SSPD) forms and forge the signatures of regional tax officers up to BP2D officials at the Head of Division level.
Ade further said that since the beginning of last week, the Joint Tax Audit Team involving PPNS (Civil Servant Investigators), the Malang City Police Criminal Investigation Unit Team and a number of Malang District Attorney's Office officials have focused on conducting examinations and investigations of witnesses, victims and tracing the identities of the perpetrators with the initials DN, AR and LD.
"The investigation process is still ongoing. Of course it will continue to develop and we are ready to oversee the legal process until the trial. So far, the Joint Tax Audit Team has investigated three similar cases. Of the three cases of embezzlement, the potential state loss reaches around Rp 400 million," Ade explained.
One of them has good intentions by directly paying tax of Rp 153 million and has been deposited to Bank Jatim. Not wanting to be caught out and in an effort to eradicate the tax mafia, the former Head of Public Relations of the Malang City Government is determined to immediately optimize the BPHTB Online Tax payment system in the near future.
Ade also emphasized the importance of public awareness to make tax payments directly without going through a third party. "In Law No. 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Retributions, it is mandated that the tax payment process may not be outsourced to a third party," appealed the man who is also known as a youth and sports figure.
