“They (tax delinquents) must pay their PBB at the latest on December 10. Or else, on December 11 we will deploy collect to put up the marker board,” he stated, Thursday (12/4).

According to Sumantri, his party has sent warning letters to those 117 tax delinquents. If they were still stubborn, their obligations will be collected forcibly, which is in accordance to Law No. 19/2000 on Tax Collection with Distress Warrant.

“If the taxpayers still not paying their PBB, we could confiscate their assets,” he asserted.
