About the criticism of ‘hunting at the zoo’, Thursday (9/18).
Rosmauli said efforts to improve Indonesian taxation performance were carried out in two ways, namely extensification and intensification.
He said extensification was carried out by expanding the tax base.The Ministry of Finance DGT said that it would utilize third party data and increase literacy, as well as tax inclusion of prospective taxpayers of the future.
Meanwhile, intensification is taken by applying
Compliance Risk Management
(CRM).
“Since 2019, DGT has used CRM in mapping taxpayers based on the risk of non -compliance and fiscal impact. Based on the mapping, taxpayers are divided into 9 quadrants who will determine the appropriate treatment for the taxpayer concerned,” he said.
“If the taxpayer is in the compliance quadrant and a low fiscal impact, then the taxpayer is sufficient to be given services and education. However, if the taxpayer is in the quadrant of the risk of high non -compliance and a large fiscal impact, then the law enforcement needs to be enforced,” said Rosmauli.
Deputy Chairman Den Mari Elka Pangestu previously said that the taxation system in Indonesia is currently only focused on revenue.He considered that the government’s target should be increasing taxpayer compliance, not limited to pursuing the amount of revenue.
He also specifically highlighted the fall
tax ratio
Indonesia from year to year.In the first semester of 2025, according to Mari, the Indonesian tax ratio was only 8.4 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).While the achievement of tax ratio in the Southeast Asian region penetrates 16 percent.
Let’s judge that there are a number of structural problems that haunt, one of which concerns the efficiency of the tax administration system.Although, he did not speak loudly whether the problem led to
Coretax
or not.
“The fact that the target (DGT Kemenkeu) is revenue, that means ‘hunting in the zoo’. You intensify, do not work, only collect taxes from the same person who will pay more,” Criticism in Indonesia Update on YouTube Anu Indonesia Project, Friday (12/9).
Not infrequently, Mari Elka saw that the taxpayers were fined.The tax dispute is the impact of ‘hunting in the zoo’ in the end spread to the court.
Separately, the Director General of Tax of the Ministry of Finance Bimo Wijayanto said that the positive revenue performance continued to occur since March 2025. He even claimed the contribution of tax revenue to state revenue increased 1.67 percent compared to the same period last year.
“The performance tax revenue is quite positive, our gross realization has been consistently growing positive since March (2025). In a total of Rp1,269.44 trillion, while because the restitution is quite high, it is Rp990.01 trillion,” Bimo said in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with the House of Representatives Commission XI in Central Jakarta, Wednesday (10/9).
That number did increase compared to the realization of the first semester of 2025 worth Rp831.3 trillion.
However, the tax deposit was only collected around 45.2 percent of the target set in the 2025 State Budget of Rp2,189.3 trillion.
The revenue was obtained from the Income Tax (PPh) of the Agency of Rp174.47 trillion, aka down 9.1 percent;Income Tax (PPH) of a private person Rp14.98 trillion which grew 37.7 percent;Value Added Tax (VAT) and VAT on Luxury Goods (PPnBM) of Rp350.62 trillion or down 12.8 percent;and Building Land Tax (PBB) of Rp12.53 trillion which rose 129.7 percent.
