"JK has just met with the ministers to discuss the roadmap of e-commerce," Hartarto stated at the office of Muhammadiyah, Indonesia`s second largest Muslim organization, in Jakarta on Thursday.
Hartarto noted that the meeting with JK discussed tax imposition for electronic commerce by half a percent.
"We discussed the idea of imposing a half percent tax on e-commerce," Hartarto remarked.
According to him, this taxation will be applied to business entities that have the classification of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The SMEs will be given three years before finally following the applicable taxation.
"But this will be delivered by the Minister of Finance," Hartarto, who is also the chairman of the Golkar Party, explained.
He claimed not to discuss political matters, including the matter of the vice president, in his meeting with JK.
"It was a meeting with various other ministers," Hartarto explained.
Hartarto, along with several Golkar officials, visited the Muhammadiyah central executive board to discuss national issues. Golkar and Muhammadiyah agreed to develop competent human resources to support government programs.
