of the National Development
Planning Agency (Bappenas)
Suharso Monoarfa, stated that
the budget for the initial stage
of development of IKN Nusan-
tara reaches 23 trillion IDR next
year. These funds come from
the State Budget.
Based on the IKN development
budget projections, 20 percent
of the budget comes from State
Budget funds, while the rest is
expected to come from private
investments and partnerships.
Currently, there are more than
10 domestic investors who have
agreed on contracts for invest-
ment in IKN.
The Ministry of Investment
stated that there are several
countries that have committed
to invest in the development of
IKN, one of them is the United
Arab Emirates. The United Arab
Emirates has realized an invest-
ment of 20 billion USD or
around 299.84 trillion IDR.
The investment from the United
Arab Emirates has been invested
in the Indonesia Investment
Authority (INA).
Menteri Perencanaan Pembangu-
nan Nasional (PPN) / Kepala
Badan Perencanaan Pembangu-
nan Nasional (Bappenas) Suharso
Monoarfa, menyatakan angga-
ran untuk pembangunan tahap
awal IKN Nusantara mencapai
Rp.23 triliun pada tahun depan.
Dana tersebut berasal dari APBN.
Berdasarkan proyeksi anggaran
pembangunan IKN, 20 persen
anggaran tersebut berasal dari

diharapkan berasal dari investasi
swasta dan kemitraan. Saat ini,
sudah lebih dari 10 investor
dalam negeri yang menyepakati
kontrak untuk investasi di IKN.

According to Minister of Investment Bahlil
Lahadalia, there are four reasons why foreign
investors are interested to invest in the IKN
development projects:
- IKN design promoting high technology and
environmentally friendly.
- Land prices in the IKN area can be developed
with foreign investment quite cheaply.
- The government will also build basic infra-
structure in the IKN development area.
- Investors who want to contribute to the IKN
development project have intended to invest
in Indonesia.
Bahlil also mentioned that foreign investors
tend to be interested to invest in IKN deve-
lopment projects because of the 10% Internal
Rate of Return (IRR) per year.
Moreover, several foreign companies interested
to invest in IKN are recorded to have invest-
ments in the International Industrial Estates
and Ports (KIPI) in Tanah Kuning, North
Kalimantan. Thus, the investment that will
come in is not only in the property sector,
but also in other sector such as natural resour-
ces through the KIPI project.
President Jokowi stated that the current priority
of IKN development is basic infrastructure.
He believes that this IKN project will be an
engine of economic growth for Indonesia in
the future. Besides having an impact on the
development of MSMEs, this project is ex-
pected to be a machine to attract foreign
capital into the country.
Menurut Menteri Investasi Bahlil Lahadalia,
terdapat empat alasan investor asing tertarik
untuk berinvestasi pada proyek pembangunan
IKN:
- Desain IKN yang mengedepankan teknologi
tinggi dan ramah lingkungan.
- Harga tanah di kawasan IKN dapat dikem-
bangkan dengan investasi asing cukup murah.
- Pemerintah juga akan membangun infras-
truktur dasar di wilayah pengembangan IKN.
- Investor yang ingin berkontribusi di proyek
pembangunan IKN memang telah berniat
untuk berinvestasi di Indonesia.
Bahlil juga menyebutkan investor asing cen-
derung tertarik berinvestasi di proyek pemba-
ngunan IKN karena tingkat pengembalian
investasi per tahun (IRR) yang sebesar 10%.
Selain itu, beberapa perusahaan asing yang
tertarik untuk berinvestasi di IKN tercatat
memiliki investasi di Kawasan Industri dan
Pelabuhan Internasional (KIPI) di Tanah Ku-
ning, Kalimantan Utara. Sehingga, investasi
yang akan masuk tidak hanya dibidang pro-
perty saja, tetapi juga di bidang lainnya seperti
sumber daya alam melalui proyek KIPI.
Presiden Jokowi menyatakan bahwa prioritas
pembangunan IKN saat ini adalah infrastruk-
tur dasar. Ia meyakini proyek IKN ini akan
menjadi mesin pertumbuhan ekonomi bagi
Indonesia ke depannya. Selain memberikan
dampak bagi pengembangan UMKM, proyek
ini diharapkan menjadi mesin penarik modal
asing masuk ke Negara.

TAX CORNER
As regulated in the VAT Law
Article 9 paragraph 9a and
Regulation of the Minister
of Finance (PMK) No.18/
PMK.03/2021, there is a
possibility for Individuals or
Legal Entities who have reve-
nues of more than 4.8 billion
IDR a year to be validated as
Taxable Enterprise(s), ex officio.
Therefore, Taxpayers will be
required to collect VAT.

7. Transaparansi Terkait Penghindaran Pajak di Indonesia
Transparency Regarding Tax Avoidance in Indonesia
Income tax collections provide
a supplementary source of fun-
ding for state government, en-
abling it to invest in growth in
a variety of sectors. To back up
the significance of taxations for
development, the political and
legal aspects of the state need to
be specifically regulated and ef-
fectively managed. Both are
spelled out in Indonesian law,
with the state constitution out-
lining detailed procedures for
collecting and distributing
state taxes.
Aspects of taxation are laid out
in article 23, paragraph 1, of the
Constitution of 1945, and the
procedure for its implementation
is regulated in Act. Specifically,
Law No.28 of 2007 provides
the legal definition of tax. Third
amendment to Law No.6 of
1983, amending general pro-
visions and tax procedures.
It describes how taxes are a form
of indirect compensation to the
state for the well-being of its
citizens and how they are levied
on voluntary contributions from
individuals and legal entities.
Pemungutan pajak penghasilan
menyediakan sumber pendanaan
tambahan bagi pemerintah ne-
gara bagian, memungkinkannya
untuk berinvestasi dalam per-
tumbuhan di berbagai sektor.
Untuk mendukung pentingnya
perpajakan bagi pembangunan,
aspek politik dan hukum negara
perlu diatur secara khusus dan
dikelola secara efektif. Keduanya
dijabarkan dalam hukum Indo-
nesia, dengan konstitusi negara
menguraikan prosedur rinci
untuk mengumpulkan dan men-
distribusikan pajak negara.
Aspek perpajakan diatur dalam
pasal 23 ayat 1 UUD 1945, dan
tata cara pelaksanaannya diatur
dalam UU. Secara khusus, UU
No.28Tahun 2007 memberikan
definisi hukum tentang pajak.
Perubahan ketiga atas Undang-
Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 1983,
mengubah ketentuan umum
dan tata cara perpajakan.
Ini menjelaskan bagaimana pa-
jak adalah bentuk kompensasi
tidak langsung kepada negara
untuk kesejahteraan warganya
dan bagaimana pajak dipungut
atas kontribusi sukarela dari
individu dan badan hukum.
8. Governments can use tax trans-
parency as a tool in their fiscal
policy to stimulate the economy
and help it grow. Taxpayers will
have the information they need
to make informed decisions,
especially when it comes to whet-
her to pay taxes, if the govern-
ment is willing to make good
on its promise of transparency
in the taxation of state fiscal
policy.
Complete public confidence in
government's fiscal management
hinges on the introduction of
tax transparency, which is why
its adoption is so crucial. How-
ever, the government can restrict
access to data about the tax
management system if it chooses
to practice tax transparency. Tax
avoidance and evasion could
have a detrimental effect on a
country's economy.
Pemerintah dapat menggunakan
transparansipajak sebagai alat
dalam kebijakan fiskal mereka
untuk merangsang ekonomi dan
membantunya tumbuh. Wajib
pajak akan memiliki informasi
yang mereka butuhkan untuk
membuat keputusan yang tepat,
terutama dalam hal apakah akan
membayar pajak, jika pemerintah
bersedia memenuhi janji trans-
paransi dalam perpajakan kebi-
jakan fiskal negara.
Kepercayaan publik sepenuhnya
terhadap manajemen fiskal peme-
rintah bergantung pada penge-
nalan transparansi pajak, itulah
sebabnya penerapannya sangat
penting. Namun, pemerintah
dapat membatasi akses ke data
tentang sistem manajemen pajak
jika memilih untuk memprak-
tikkan transparansi pajak. Peng-
hindaran dan penghindaran
pajak dapat berdampak buruk
pada perekonomian suatu negara.

The term "tax avoidance" refers
to the practice of evading tax
obligations by exploiting legal
and regulatory loopholes in mul-
tiple countries, one of which is
the use of a "tax haven" that is
itself legitimate. Conversely, the
Act on filing the false informa-
tion, fabricating tax documents,
and making inappropriate tax
claims indicates tax evasion is
an activity to avoid taxation il-
legally and violates the rule of
law.
Under these circumstances, it is
imperative that a predetermined
set of rules outlined in Indone-
sia's taxation regulations be put
into effect. The discussion would
begin with the most fundamen-
tal legal basis, as outlined in
Article 7 of Act Number 12 of
2011 concerning the Formation
of Laws and Regulations.
Istilah "tax avoidance" mengacu
pada praktik penghindaran ke-
wajiban pajak dengan meman-
faatkan celah hukum dan per-
aturan di banyak negara, salah
satunya adalah penggunaan "tax
haven" yang sah dengan sendi-
rinya. Sebaliknya, UU tentang
penyampaian informasi palsu,
pemalsuan dokumen pajak, dan
membuat klaim pajak yang tidak
tepat menunjukkan penggelapan
pajak adalah kegiatan untuk
menghindari perpajakan secara
ilegal dan melanggar aturan
hukum.
Dalam keadaan ini, sangat pen-
ting bahwa seperangkat aturan
yang telah ditentukan sebelum-
nya yang digariskan dalam per-
aturan perpajakan Indonesia di-
berlakukan. Pembahasan akan
dimulai dengan landasan hukum
yang paling mendasar, sebagai-
mana tertuang dalam Pasal 7
Undang-Undang Nomor 12
Tahun 2011 tentang Pemben-
tukan Peraturan Perundang-
undangan.

10. Penerimaan Pajak Komoditas Diprediksikan akan Turun di 2023
Commodity Tax Revenues Predicted to Fall in 2023
Tax revenues from the commo-
dity sector are predicted to fall
in 2023 by the Minister of Fi-
nance Sri Mulyani. Sri Mulyani
projects that tax revenues from
the commodity sector in 2022
will reach 279 trillion IDR. More-
over, exit duties from the com-
modity sector will reach 48.9
trillion IDR. As for 2023, Sri
Mulyani projects that tax reve-
nues from the commodity sector
will be below 279 trillion IDR
or will not be as high as this
year projection.
According to her, tax revenues
from the commodity sector in
the next year will not be as high
as this year. This is because the
windfall profits (unexpected re-
venues) stemming from the surge
in international commodity
prices is unlikely to repeat itself
next year.
Penerimaan pajak dari sektor
komoditas diprediksikan akan
turun pada tahun 2023 oleh
Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani.
Sri Mulyani memproyeksi pene-
rimaan pajak sektor komoditas
pada tahun 2022 mencapai
Rp.279 triliun. Selain itu, bea
keluar dari sektor komoditas
mencapai Rp.48,9 triliun. Se-
dangkan untuk tahun 2023, Sri
Mulyani memproyeksi peneri-
maan pajak sektor komoditas
akan berada di bawah Rp.279
triliun atau tidak akan setinggi
proyeksi tahun ini.
Menurutnya, penerimaan pajak
dari sektor komoditas di tahun
depan tidak akan setinggi tahun
ini. Hal ini dikarenakan wind-
fall profit (keuntungan tak ter-
duga) yang berasal dari lonjakan
harga komoditas internasional
kemungkinan tidak akan ber-
ulang lagi di tahun depan.

Commodities that experienced
escalated price this year include
coal, nickel, copper, and palm
oil. This escalated price occurred
due to the Russia- Ukraine con-
flict some time ago. According
to her, the commodity that con-
tributes the most to state reve-
nues is crude oil, which had
reached 100 USD per barrel.
However, Sri Mulyani predicts
that oil prices in the next year
will weaken around 90 USD
per barrel. Coal, which once
reached 244 USD, is expected
to be lower next year around
200 USD. As for CPO, which
this year reached 1,350 USD,
also expected to decline below
1,000 USD.
This is the main consideration
for the government in preparing
state revenue targets, revenues
from taxes, duties, customs, as
well as non-tax state revenues
next year.
Komoditas yang mengalami pe-
ningkatan harga pada tahun ini
antara lain batu bara, nikel, tem-
baga, dan kelapa sawit. Pening-
katan harga ini terjadi akibat
adanya konflik Rusia dan Ukraina
beberapa waktu lalu. Menurut-
nya, komoditas yang paling ba-
nyak berkontribusi pada pene-
rimaan negara adalah minyak
mentah yang sempat mencapai
US$ 100 per barel.
Namun, Sri Mulyani mempre-
diksi harga minyak di tahun de-
pan akan melemah di sekitar
US$ 90 per barel. Batubara yang
pernah mencapai US$ 244, di
tahun depan diperkirakan akan
lebih rendah di sekitar US$ 200.
Sedangkan untuk CPO yang
pada tahun ini mencapai US$
1.350, diperkirakan juga akan
menurun di bawah US$ 1.000.
Hal ini ini menjadi pertimbangan
utama pemerintah dalam menyu-
sun target penerimaan negara,
baik penerimaan dari pajak, cukai,
kepabeanan, maupun peneri-
maan negara bukanpajak di
tahun depan.

13. Analisa Tax Gap
Analysis
of Tax Gap
The term "tax gap" refers to the
disparity that exists between the
amount of tax that conceptually
ought to be paid to the state and
the amount of tax that really is
paid to the state. This disparity
can be attributed to a great deal
of different factors. For example,
taxpayer A has a tax gap if the
amount of tax that is his duty
in a specific period of time (for
example, the tax year) is greater
than the amount of tax that he
has paid to the state treasury in
that time period. Because of the
significance of this tax gap, the
Directorate General of Taxes
(DJP) can, among other things,
utilize it as a foundation for
drafting a strategy plan for the
organization.
Istilah "tax gap" mengacu pada
perbedaan yang muncul antara
jumlah pajak yang secara kon-
septual harus dibayarkan kepada
negara dan jumlah pajak yang
sesungguhnya dibayarkan kepa-
da negara. Perbedaan ini dapat
dikaitkan dengan banyak faktor
yang berbeda. Contohnya, wajib
pajak A memiliki tax gap apa-
bila jumlah pajak yang menjadi
kewajibannya dalam jangka wak-
tu tertentu (misalnya, tahun
pajak) lebihbesar dari jumlah
pajak yang telah dibayarkannya
kepada kas negara pada periode
waktu tersebut. Atas signifikansi
tax gap ini, Direktorat Jenderal
Pajak (DJP) dapat, antara lain,
memanfaatkannya sebagai lan-
dasan penyusunan rencana stra-
tegi bagi organisasi.
14. Analysis of Tax Gap
( 2 / 3 )
Analisa Tax Gap
By calculating the size of the tax
gap, tax administrators will gain
a better understanding of the
factors that lead to tax non-com-
pliance, as well as the ways in
which the DJP can work to ad-
dress those factors. This, in turn,
will lead to an improvement in
the overall tax system over the
longer term. Furthermore, look-
ing at the tax gaps of other
countries will help provide an
overview of information about
how other countries manage
their tax gaps.
Following this, the tax gaps are
analyzed to provide insight into
which strategies are the most
effective for reducing tax gaps
that can be done domestically.
The Tax Gap is not the only
benchmark that is used to inves-
tigate the potential for tax in-
come and to build plans for tax
revenue collection. Neverthe-
less, the tax gap will provide es-
sential information that can
assist tax authorities in under-
standing their long-term perfor-
mance. There are a variety of
factors contributing to the exis-
tence of the tax gap.
Dengan menghitung ukuran tax
gap, administrator pajak akan
mendapatkan pemahaman yang
lebih baik mengenai faktor-faktor
yang menyebabkan ketidakpa-
tuhan pajak,serta berbagai cara
dimana DJP dapat bekerja untuk
mengatasi faktor-faktor terse-
but. Ini, pada gilirannya, akan
mengarah pada peningkatan
dalam sistem perpajakan secara
menyeluruh dalam jangka pan-
jang. Selain itu, melihat tax gap
negara lain akan membantu
memberikan gambaran umum
atas informasi mengenai bagai-
mana negara lain mengelola tax
gap mereka.
Atas hal ini, tax gap dianalisa
untuk memberikan wawasan
tentang strategi mana yang pa-
ling efektif untuk mengurangi
tax gap yang dapat dilakukan di
dalam negeri. Tax Gap bukan
satu-satunya tolak ukur yang
digunakan untuk menyelidiki
potensi penghasilan pajak dan
untuk membangun rencana pe-
ngumpulan penerimaan pajak.
Namun demikian, tax gap akan
memberikan informasi penting
yang dapat membantu otoritas
pajak dalam memahami kinerja
jangka panjang mereka. Ada ber-
bagai faktor yang berkontribusi
terhadap adanya tax gap.

Even though most taxpayers have the best in-
tentions and try their best to calculate their
taxes in a way that is as accurate as possible,
there is a possibility that some taxpayers will
make a few minor errors in the process of cal-
culating the amount of tax that they are re-
quired to pay. The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) reports that errors can still be found
when it comes to finishing their Notification
Letter (SPT), which is a crucial document to
make and report, the majority of other (big)
taxpayers are often unconcerned.
In theory, the tax gap also includes tax arrears
that have not been paid by the people who
owe the back taxes (taxes that are due to be
paid but have not been paid). The tax office
has a lot of trouble collecting it in the majo-
rity of situations. Differences in legal inter-
pretation are another contributor to the tax
gap, as are evasion (also known as tax smug-
gling) and avoidance. It is also possible that
with the development of onlinebased tax tech-
nology, there will be "criminal" activity aimed
at the tax information system, which will also
contribute to the tax gap.
Meskipun sebagian besar wajib pajak memiliki
