Indonesia is a vast country with a population of over 270 million people. It is the world's fourth most populous country and the largest economy in Southeast Asia. Despite its size and economic potential, Indonesia faces several challenges, including poverty, inequality, and corruption.

Challenges


One of the most important challenges facing Indonesia is its tax system. The current tax system is complex and inefficient, and it does not generate enough revenue to fund the government's essential programs. As a result, the government is forced to borrow money to finance its operations, which puts a strain on the economy and makes it more vulnerable to financial crises.

Reasons

There are a few reasons why Indonesia's tax system is so weak. The tax base is narrow, only a small percentage of Indonesians pay taxes, and those who do pay taxes often do so at low rates. Second, the tax administration is inefficient. The government lacks the resources and expertise to collect taxes effectively. And don’t forget there is a culture of tax evasion in Indonesia. Many people believe that it is acceptable to avoid paying taxes, and there is little enforcement of tax laws.

Conseqences


The weak tax system has a number of negative consequences for Indonesia's economy. It limits the government's ability to invest in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. This condition also makes the economy more vulnerable to financial crises. So, it contributes to poverty and inequality.

What we should do?


There are a number of things that can be done to improve Indonesia's tax system.

The government needs to broaden the tax base


This can be done by reducing the number of tax exemptions and deductions, and by expanding the coverage of the tax system to include more businesses and individuals.

The government needs to improve the efficiency of the tax administration


By investing in training and technology, and by creating a more transparent and accountable tax system.

The government needs to change the culture of tax evasion


This part is done by education and awareness campaigns, and by enforcing tax laws more vigorously.

Why do we need to change?


Improving Indonesia's tax system is essential for increasing economic stability and reducing poverty. By broadening the tax base, improving the efficiency of the tax administration, and changing the culture of tax evasion, the government can generate more revenue to fund essential programs and reduce its reliance on debt. This will make the economy more resilient to financial crises and help to reduce poverty and inequality.

In addition to the economic benefits, improving the tax system can also have a number of social benefits. For example, by raising more revenue, the government can invest in education and healthcare, which can improve the quality of life for all Indonesians. Additionally, by reducing poverty and inequality, the government can create a more stable and prosperous society.

The challenge of improving Indonesia's tax system is significant, but it is not insurmountable. With the right policies and reforms, the government can create a tax system that is fair, efficient, and effective. This will be a major step forward for Indonesia and will help to ensure a brighter future for all Indonesians.

Addressing the Problem of Declining Public Trust


One of the biggest challenges to improving Indonesia's tax system is the problem of declining public trust. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of corruption and abuse of authority within the tax administration. This has led to a widespread perception that the tax system is unfair and that the government is not using tax revenue effectively.

To address this problem, the government needs to take a number of steps.

Crack down


Crack down on corruption and abuse of authority within the tax administration. This can be done by strengthening the internal controls of the tax administration, by increasing the transparency of tax administration, and by holding those who are found guilty of corruption accountable.

Communication


Improve the communication between the tax administration and the public to creating a more transparent tax system, by providing more information to taxpayers, and by listening to the concerns of taxpayers.

Make sure


The government needs to make sure that tax revenue is used effectively to benefit all Indonesians. This can be done by investing in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and by providing social safety nets for the poor and vulnerable.

Conclusion


Despite these challenges, a good tax system can have a positive impact on the economy of Indonesia. By increasing government revenue, reducing economic distortions, improving the investment climate, and increasing social welfare, a good tax system can help to create a more prosperous and equitable society.

Pesawat TransNusa

Ketika bilang “aku naik TransNusa” orang-orang akan berekspresi “hah? maskapai apa itu?” wajar sih, karena TransNusa adalah maskapai yang baru  mengudara mulai Oktober 2022 untuk rute domestik. Sejak ramai di twitter, aku penasaran dan pengen nyoba dong. Kebetulan banget akhir Desember masih punya jatah cuti berlebih, kesempatan untuk mencoba terbang bersama TransNusa Jakarta-Denpasar datang juga.
