After many times just talking about coming to the archery community session, last Sunday morning I decided to come. Greeted warmly by the members present, my friend suddenly “Like a Dazed Person” because he didn’t know where to start.
One of my friends also taught me as a new kid. The introduction of various existing tools. Such as horsebows and other standard bows and various types of arrows. He also asked my friend to do the setup before starting the practice and taught my friend how to hold a bow, place arrows, and aim them at the aiming board.
Many times my friend missed the target, but he also managed to get lucky even though he only hit the white area. It’s hard to aim. If you already have the right instincts and calculations, the arrow will surely stick to the desired point.
That arrow is called a tax policy
Like warming up before shooting, the government also takes steps to determine every policy it takes. One example is tax policy.
In 1983, for the first time a tax self-assessment was implemented through the Tax Reform. Then we went through several reforms, including: simplification of types of taxes in the Tax Reform of 1991 to.d. 2000, DGT’s vision and mission determination and the blueprint for the 2000 to 2000 tax reform. 2001, modernization and amendment of the Law (UU) on Tax Reform Volume I of 2002 s.d. 2008, increased internal control in the Tax Reform Volume II of 2009 s.d. 2014, the emergence of Tax Amnesty in 2016, and from 2017 to.d. 2024 will be Volume III Tax Reform which will focus on consolidation, acceleration and continuity of Tax Reform.
Like putting an arrow in a bow, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) is arranging its arrows in a bow so that they are comfortable and fit to be released towards the target, namely the public, namely by preparing Volume III of Tax Reform.
The 2020 Job Creation Law and the Law on Harmonization of Tax Regulations (HPP) are currently used as the basis for making tax policies. Over the past two years, the government has successively issued various derivative regulations ranging from Government Regulations (PP), Minister of Finance Regulations (PMK), Director General of Taxes Regulations (PER), to Circular Letters (SE) for internal purposes.
The tsunami of information came to drown the Indonesian people so that confusing news or hoaxes emerged. For example, a salary of Rp. 5 million is taxable at 5% even though it has not been deducted by existing costs and Non-Taxable Income (PTKP) and the issue of a global recession in 2023 which makes people nervous.
Where is Indonesia’s Tax Policy Direction Going?
The existence of various tax policies that have sprung up indicates that DGT is improving. Like when releasing an arrow at the target in the form of an aiming board, DGT launched various facilities or formulas to make it easier for the public in future tax matters.
