He explained, governor regulation (Pergub) from the third derivative of tax regulation that will be revised are adjusting off-street parking rates based on time zone and place, adjusting billboard rental values and encouraging LED billboard in tight control areas, and adjusting Sales Value of Tax Objects (NJOP) for Land and Building Tax.

"There are three Pergub that will be rearranged. Those are Groundwater Tax, Street Lighting Tax, and Parking Tax. Hopefully revised legal framework for those three taxes can be completed this year," he asserted.

"As well as amendment to Groundwater Tax, we expect this to minimize land subsidence," he added.

"We are referring to Law (UU) No. 28/2009 regarding Regional Tax and Levy," he said.
