"The revenue target from 13 types of tax this year experienced a correction after an evaluation by Jakarta Tax Service Dept and has also been discussed with the council," disclosed Santoso, Chairman of City Council Commission C during a meeting between Banggar with TAPD, Thursday (11/10). 

Santoso disclosed, the increase in revenue target next year was from three types of regional tax, namely Street Light Tax (PPJ) and Urban and Rural Land and Building Tax (PBB P2). Based on evaluation results from such tax, the next year's regional tax has increased up to Rp 580 billion.

Jakarta Tax Service Dept Deputy Head, Edi Sumantri explained, the revenue target on the 2017 APBD KUA-PPAS was initially Rp 850 billion and became Rp 900 billion after being evaluated.

"The increase in PPJ by Rp 50 billion was based on the result of joint coordination with state electricity firm (PLN) Disjaya that will increase the electric fare (TDL) type industry in the first quarter of 2017," he explained.

Revision is also done on parking tax revenue that was initially proposed by Rp 520 billion to Rp 600 billion. The increase amounting to Rp 80 billion, hoped to be obtained from the imposition of parking tax rate in the capital city that currently only about 20-30 percent in accordance with the rule of law.

"We hope there is change in local regulation as a legal protection about fare charging by 30 percent of parking tax in the capital," he hoped. 

Edi added that PBB P2 revenue target revision which was originally proposed by Rp 7.3 trillion to Rp 7.7 trillion.

"It experienced higher increase of around Rp 400 billion," he finished.
