Tax to take center stage in debate
Taxation is expected to be one of the topics that could take center in the last presidential debate on April 13, especially issue about the separation of the Taxation Directorate General from the Finance Ministry. At a recent campaign event in West Kalimantan, Sandiaga promised to separate the Taxation Directorate Generala form the Finance Ministry. Sandiaga was highlighting the long-promised plan to establish a special taxation body similar to the US' Internal Revenue Service. The separation of the Taxation Directorate General from the Finance Ministry was among President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's campaign promises in 2014 and was included in his campaign's Nawa Cita.
Misbakhun, Jokowi-Ma'ruf campaign team spokes person, argued that elevating the status of the Taxation Directorate General would allow greater flexibility for the body in several key areas, such as in tax collection and administration as well as mobilization and recruitment of its workforce.
Campaign team member for the Prabowo-Sandi ticket Haryadin Mahardika said separately that the upgrade in status to a special taxation body would mean the body could quickly adjust its resources to better respond to the challenges of tax collection. Besides, the separation of the Taxation Directorate General from the Finance Ministry will serve business interests as it will guarantee better services for taxpayers.
However, Indonesian Employers Association chairman Hariyadi Sukamdani disagreed, arguing that the establishment of new body would add another bureaucratic layer that businesses would have to deal with. Managing partner of the DDTC, Darussalam said, the separation of Taxation Directorate General from the Finance Ministry would allow greater discretion of the body over its organization, human resources and budgetary needs.
