"Taxes contribute 66.6 percent to the state revenues of Rp1,667.1 trillion as set in the state budget. In order to reach the target the taxation directorate general will need to prepare optimization steps," head of external relations of the taxation directorate general Chandra Budi said in a statement here on Monday.
Chandra said optimization of steps includes improvement of tax administration system to increase tax payer obedience and expansion of tax coverage among potential individual tax payers, no longer to focus only on corporate tax payers.
"Domination of contribution to tax revenues would gradually shift to individual tax payers from corporate tax payers. As is in advanced nations revenues from individual tax payers would be larger than revenues from corporate tax payers," he said.(*)
