The North Kalimantan Provincial Government is actively working to improve tax compliance within its industrial zones, a critical step towards boosting regional revenue.

We carried out socialization yesterday (Wednesday) to strengthen tax compliance for taxpayers in the industrial area, specifically at PT Kalimantan Industrial Park Indonesia.

A recent outreach event was held at PT Kalimantan Industrial Park Indonesia (KIPI) in Bulungan Regency. Datu Iqro Ramadhan, head of the Satgas PAD and the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of North Kalimantan, explained that the primary goal was to remind taxpayers of their responsibilities and to familiarize them with the task force's role. This proactive approach aims to ensure timely payments and accurate data submission.

Ramadhan emphasized that tax compliance is vital for the region's financial health, directly impacting the funding available for various development projects. The task force not only conducts outreach but also meticulously monitors the data submitted by taxpayers. Any inconsistencies found between reported figures and actual conditions will be addressed according to established regulations.

We expect taxpayers to fulfill their obligations on time and submit correct data. If discrepancies are found, there will be follow-up actions according to the rules.

Beyond enforcement, the Satgas PAD seeks to foster a collaborative relationship with taxpayers. By building strong communication channels and promoting synergy, the team hopes to optimize tax collection and unlock the full revenue potential of North Kalimantan. The initiative involves a broad coalition, including representatives from various provincial agencies, the regional prosecutor's office, police, and local legislative council members, underscoring a unified commitment to fiscal strengthening.

This step we are taking is part of a joint commitment to optimize regional revenue and strengthen the region's fiscal capacity.
