Kedungkandang (malangkota.go.id) – After three months of rolling, the Sunset Policy IV program has finally officially ended. And as a result, the Urban Land & Building Tax (PBB) fine amnesty program was well utilized by the residents of Bhumi Arema.
From data collected by the Malang City Regional Tax Service Agency (BP2D), a total of 5.791 Taxpayers (WP) took advantage of this program with a realization value reaching IDR 4.414.163.950.
"Thank you for the high appreciation from the people of Malang City for the Sunset Policy program. Hopefully it will be useful for the community and also for the development of Malang City," said the Mayor of Malang Drs. H. Sutiaji, Wednesday (19/11/2019)
Sunset Policy IV lasted three months, starting on August 17, 2019 to celebrate the 74th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence and ending on November 17, 2019 in a series of commemorations of Heroes' Day.
By utilizing the Sunset Policy program, Urban PBB Taxpayers receive relief in the form of elimination of administrative sanctions or fines for late payment of PBB that has not been paid since the 1990s until the period 2018.
In the future, the Malang City Government will implement a similar policy not only for PBB. "We have reviewed and tried to mature the regional regulation so that the Sunset Policy in the future will also apply to other regional taxes, not only PBB," explained the Head of BP2D Malang City, Ir. Ade Herawanto, MT.
For your information, in addition to increasing regional tax revenue in real terms, the Sunset Policy has been proven to increase potential PBB revenue in the future, because this policy stimulates asset owners to take advantage of the tax relief period.
The implication is that assets that have been ownerless are now known to their owners. In the future, they will also pay their tax obligations more orderly because they are not burdened with arrears.
"That way, if so far there are still many taxpayers whose addresses and tax objects are not monitored, now they can be tracked so that in the following years they will become active and tax-compliant taxpayers," said Sam Ade d'Kross, as he is familiarly called. (say/yon)
