he government has appointed 18 banks, 18 investment managers and 18 securities companies as the gateways for the expected trillions of rupiah in repatriated assets in the tax amnesty program.
The government has also introduced eight investment instruments that can be used by people who repatriate funds. The instruments have a minimum three-year maturity.
"It can be via the appointed banks, investment managers and securities companies. They will cooperate with the tax office and regularly report updates on the tax amnesty program," said the Finance Ministry's treasury director general, Robert Pakpahan, on Monday in Jakarta.
He further explained that people who wanted to repatriate funds must open accounts in appointed trustee banks before shifting their assets to investment instruments in the amnesty program. "We require them to open escrow accounts and the investment for them will be separate from other ordinary investments," he said.
The eight instruments are government bonds (SUN), state-owned enterprises (SOEs) bonds, government-owned financial institutions bonds and five financial investment products issued by trustee banks.
The government will also provide tax amnesty participants with bonds issued by private companies but tightly supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as well as infrastructure investments through cooperation between the government and business entities. (ags)
