Jakarta Bapenda Head Mohammad Tsani Annafari disclosed, in the policy of repayment in October, no administrative fines were imposed. It managed to attract 921 taxpayers who had submitted online payment in stages.

"Thus far, the level of payment compliance in Jakarta is still at 55.53 percent," he said, Wednesday (11/4).

He went on to say that this was surely inseparable from local tax receivables, especially PBB-P2. There were two categories of PBB-P2 receivables, namely current and non-current receivables.

His party had received the transfer of PBB-P2 receivables from the Directorate General of Taxes in 2013 amounting to Rp 5 trillion.

Based on the PBB-P2 tax receivable data as of October 31, it was noted that current receivables were Rp 3.34 trillion and non-current receivables were IDR 7.49 trillion. It was known that the sub-districts with the largest accounts receivable data were in Penjaringan and the smallest was in Johar Baru.

"We have to make extra efforts in collecting local tax revenue this year. Moreover we are in the pandemic situation, we need to do certain treatment thus tax revenue continues to run," he stated.
