   If the rich do not pay taxes, there will be no money to improve the poor. The role of the government is to distribute the money obtain in taxes and to manage the country efficiently. But over taxing the rich will cause them to leave the country and take their money elsewhere.
   Glad I am not in charge.

   Let me brag a little. Although I am not that rich I am glad that I paid my income taxes and have the Indonesian tax number since 1990! At the very least I have a good conscience and could sleep tight.

   I wonder if Abdul Khalid is really paying what he should pay.

   The problem with taxation system in Indonesia IMHO is the level of fairness, not everyone is paying tax. And even if they do, those taxpayers don’t pay the rate that they should really pay, and the funny thing is if you do you’ll be in trouble

   And last not least, the taxation department is full of corrupted staff members

   Indonesians don’t pay their taxes

   Why should they? There are more than enough reasons not to pay:
   1) The tax money flow to someone’s pocket instead of used for people’s prosperity
   2) It’s very easy to bribe and pay much lesser money overall. In fact it is encouraged by the tax officials
   3) As Rani has spotted out brilliantly, if you got a leader with zero credibility, the confidence level of the people dived to below zero, and this will link back to point (1)

   Darmin Nasution: We will improve our services, provide facilities and develop a database and administration system

   Good. It better be true. And before that, improve your department’s integrity first.

   I just wondering, when whe asking tax regulation (PMK, PER, SE and Tax Law)or tax case to tax officer we sometimes get “grey answer”. They should have capabilities and also compentencies to handle tax matter.

   If we, as tax payer do not understand what the tax regulation really means then when we asking to the tax officer get “unclear answer” to whom we should address our question?

   DGT should socialize the the tax regulation properly

   Thank you

   I was just wondering what is the guarantee for us (Indonesian people) if our taxes will be use accordingly for our prosperity and the country of Indonesia? We don’t pay taxes due to :
   1. We don’t know where the money goes
   2. Many people in Indonesia are struggle to fight for their own life and now taxes are required.
   3. Starting 2009 when we required to pay taxes, we hope that within 1-2 years public transportation, street, government care will be improve accordingly.

   thanks and need a clear explanation to gain people’s confidences.
