JAYAPURA - The Papua Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) is encouraging the ratification of the Regional Regulation Plan for tax and retribution at the Papua Pavilion in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Jakarta.
The legal product is expected to be completed and passed this year and then implemented in 2024.
"Almost all potentials in the Papua Pavilion have been recorded. Inns, canteens and several other sources have been taxed"
"So that the rest will be arranged first and then it can be collected even though the value is small," explained the Head of the Papua Regional Management and Revenue Agency (Bappenda), Setiyo Wahyudi, in Jayapura, Tuesday (20/6/2023).
According to Wahyudi, the potential of local revenue in the TMII Papua Pavilion is now getting bigger. This was revealed along with the revitalization carried out by the Papua Regional Liaison Board in Jakarta.
Recently, he continued, some sources of reception have been detected at the Papua Pavilion that can contribute to Papua's local revenue (PAD).
Therefore, at the direction of the Daily Executive of the Governor of Papua, his party with the Papua Liaison Agency in Jakarta immediately carried out identification.
"We have calculated the amount of the potential for local revenue in Papua Pavilion from the tax and retribution."
"There is a recommendation from the regional leadership so the potential income will not be lost. That's why we do data collection and counting. Thank you to the Head of the Regional Liaison Board for his innovation and creation in exploring the potential of the local revenue at the Papua Pavilion," he said. ***
