THE KARAWANG POST | The Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Karawang Regency has come under scrutiny regarding its transparency in managing tax collection incentives. The Director of Social Policy and Political Studies (SOSPOLs), Muslim Hafidz, criticized Bapenda for not being fully open to the public on this matter.
Muslim Hafidz referred to Regent
Regulation No. 9 of 2022, which amends Regent Regulation No. 12 of 2011
concerning the Procedures for Granting and Utilizing Incentives for Regional
Tax and Retribution Collection. According to Article 8, point (b), Karawang
falls under the category where tax collection incentives can reach up to seven
times the base salary and fixed allowances, given that its revenue ranges
between IDR 1 trillion and IDR 2.5 trillion.
"Bapenda manages tax revenue
with a collection incentive of 5% of the total income. Therefore, transparency
is crucial to ensure accountable governance in line with the vision and mission
of the Karawang Regent," said Muslim Hafidz.
He emphasized that Bapenda should
regularly disclose reports on tax collection incentives every three months
through official government channels or public media. This, he believes, is
essential for maintaining public trust in the management of regional tax funds.
Apart from ensuring accountability,
public information disclosure is also mandated by Regional Regulation No. 14 of
2017. Transparency service standards are further outlined in Regent Regulation
No. 315 of 2023 and Regent Decree No. 487.24/Kep.317-Huk/2023 regarding the
Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID).
Given these regulations, Muslim
Hafidz urged Bapenda Karawang to be more proactive in providing periodic
reports, allowing the public to monitor and ensure that tax funds are managed
transparently and effectively.
