Budi Sitepu

Abstract

Indonesia has experienced a number of phases on its local taxation systems, the
latest one was indicated by promulgation of Law No. 28 Year 2009 concerning local
taxes and local charges. A significant changes has been made by the said law, such
as limitation of local taxes, local taxing empowerment, improvement of control system,
and optimalization of tax collection and the use of local tax revenues. Limitation of
local taxes is done by determining 16 type of local taxes (5 type provincial taxes and
11 type region/city taxes) and implementing a ‘closed-list’ systems. Local taxing
empowerment is done by extending the tax object of several local taxes, introducing
new taxes, increasing the maximum tarif of several local taxes, and full discreation of
tarif determination to local government. Control system was changed to a preventive
and corrective approach, by evaluating the draft of local regulations before they are
adapted as local regulation, besides provocating local regulation that is against the
higher laws and regulations. Meanwhile, optimalization of tax collection and the use
of local tax revenues is done by improving the share of provincial tax revenues to
regions/cities, introducing of earmarking on several local taxes, and improving the
arrangement of tax incentives. The local taxation reform was driven by the need for
better implementation of local otonomy and fiscal decentralization policies, by granting
more revenue sources to local government gradually. Devolution of a certain provincial
tax and several central taxes to regions/cities can be seen as a reformulation of
national tax system by redetermining the type of national taxes, provincial taxes, and
region/city taxes. Economic condition and tax potential varies among regions/cities in
Indonesia. A special stragtegy is needed to assist and facilitate a certain region/city
in implementing the new local tax system. On the other hand, evaluation and improvement
of local tax policies needs to be done continuously to develope an efficient and effective
local taxation system in Indonesia.
