Islands in focus:  Businessman arrested for not paying tax

S

URABAYA: The East Java Tax Office has arrested a motorcycle dealer, identified as DN alias A, for alleged tax fraud amounting to Rp 2.8 billion (US$215,000).

Tax office head Nader Sitorus said DN, the owner of PT KMPRA, had intentionally not reported his company'€™s tax annual reports for two years.

'€œWe have given him three summonses but he ignored them, so we cooperated with the East Java Prosecutor'€™s Office to arrest him,'€ Nader said on Thursday.

He said DN would be charged under Law No. 6/1983 on taxation, which carried a maximum punishment of six years in prison and a maximum fine of four times of the tax arrears in question.
