Enhancing Revenue Potential and Compliance Benchmarking: Collaboration between AIPEG and Directorate General of Taxation

To improve the effectiveness of Indonesia’s taxation system, the Directorate General of Taxation has engaged in a strategic partnership with the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Economic Governance (AIPEG). This collaboration aims to optimize tax revenue potential and develop comprehensive benchmarking models for four key economic sectors.

Economic Sectors Scope

The study concentrates on four significant economic sectors:

1. Income tax for the coal mining industry

2. Income tax for the finance industry

3. Income tax for the real estate industry

4. Income tax for the telecommunications industry

Methodology and Approach

This initiative involves a series of structured activities, including:

• In-depth studies on business development potential in the four industries

• Comprehensive surveys to gather accurate and up-to-date data

• Consultancy services to the Directorate General of Taxation staff

• Intensive training programs to enhance the capacity of tax officials

Long-term Goals and Impact

Through this collaboration, it is expected that there will be a transformation in knowledge and technology for benchmarking development in each economic field. This will provide a strong foundation for the Directorate General of Taxation to sustainably increase income tax revenue potential, while also improving taxpayer compliance through more measurable and transparent standards.
