T
he Directorate General of Taxation has begun reviewing tax reports in pursuit of undeclared assets following the issuance of Finance Minister Regulation No. 165/2017 on the implementation of tax pardons.
The tax office is looking at all taxpayers, including those that had taken part in the nine-month tax amnesty that ended in March.
The regulation, which Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati signed on Nov. 17, came into force on Nov. 20.

Directorate General of Taxation spokesman Hestu Yoga Saksama said that as of Wednesday, the tax office had sent data on 27,777 taxpayers for local tax offices to follow up.
Hestu also said the tax office had reached a decision on 6,830 taxpayers as to whether they would be investigated or not.
“The office has ordered 951 investigations... [and] issued a second warning letter to 811 taxpayers,” he added as reported by tribunnews.com.
Hestu said the tax office had received reports on 68 completed tax returns. Meanwhile, it had sent letters to seven taxpayers who had not paid taxes on a total of Rp 5.7 billion (US$421,816) in undeclared wealth.
“This is fantastic, because we found Rp 5.7 billion from only seven taxpayers,” Hestu added. (bbn)
