Indonesian Attorney General Talks on Tax Amnesty

Jakarta, InfoPublik- Attorney General HM Prasetyo urged Indonesian citizen who stashed their assets abroad to take advantage of tax amnesty program.

According to Prasetyo, the administration will not bother property owner. The origins of the property would not be investigated. "They can pay the redemtion fee which is below the normal tarrif," Prasetyo said in Jakarta, Friday (2/9).

According to him, tax amnesty is more about moral message. The owner of assets stashed abroad can take advantage of this golden opportunity. "If until the grace period is over they still did not give any respond, they will be penalized as usual," Prasetyo said.

Prasetyo told every Indonesia citizen, it is more appropriate to put their money in their country. (Translator: Sugiarti)
