Jakarta – In collaboration with the Directorate General of Minerals and Coal (Ditjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) held a joint event to disseminate information on the Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) and Tax Compliance for Minerba Mining Companies in the Cakkti Buddhi Bhakti Hall at the DJP Headquarters recently. The event was held in a hybrid format, with 800 participants attending in person and 1,000 participants attending online.

Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto revealed that the implementation of these activities is a joint effort in managing state assets, both by the government as the regulator and taxpayers as economic actors in the mineral and coal mining sector.

"The President's message returns to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution as the main foundation for building a fair Indonesian economic system, namely the importance of the principle of mutual cooperation," he said in an official statement received by  akp2i.or.id on Friday (28/11).

Based on internal DGT data, in the last five years, the number of taxpayers from the mineral and coal mining sector has tended to increase from year to year with an average increase of around 3 percent. In 2021, there were 6,321 taxpayers, and by 2025, this number is expected to grow to 7,128 taxpayers. In addition, revenue from the metal mineral mining sector has increased more than tenfold from IDR 4 trillion (2016) to IDR 45 trillion (2024). Meanwhile, tax revenue from the coal mining sector has fluctuated in line with global commodity price movements.

"We cannot stand alone without the contribution of you, as economic actors (in the mineral and coal sector), who contribute 20 to 25 percent of state revenue," added Bimo.

He further stated that his office continues to strengthen the tax database through data and information exchange, including with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' Minerba-one application, so that it is integrated with the DGT's Coretax. 

According to him, this is intended so that all data can be utilized in collecting state revenue. The DGT has also agreed with the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal to include tax clearance commitments as one of the required documents when submitting the RKAB.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please prepare yourselves, starting from the extension of the following year, the RKAB will require tax clearance obligations," concluded Bimo.
