Indonesia Faces Delays in Covid-19 Vaccination

Mulyani admitted that this is one of the reasons why she had the Tax Directorate General carry out their duties, even though their tax collecting efforts did not yield much, as many major Indonesian companies faced major financial difficulties from Covid-19.

“A leading example of the financial difficulties faced by many taxpaying companies and individuals was how we only got back Rp. 30 trillion in taxes, even though we gave them a Rp. 120,6 trillion tax breaks.”

She added that the government will still help ease the companies’ and individuals’ burden by giving tax breaks, credit restructuring, and helping small, micro and medium enterprises get subsidized interest rates or helping them access credit.
