East Java Tax Authority Seizes 230 Assets Tied to 621 Billion IDR Tax Arrears

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) in East Java conducted a coordinated seizure operation from 22–26 June, confiscating 230 assets belonging to 158 delinquent taxpayers. The seized assets are valued at roughly 24.8 billion IDR, while the outstanding tax liabilities total about 621 billion IDR.

DJ P regional head Max Darmawan said the action is meant to enforce tax law, recover state revenue, and deter future non‑payment. Seizures follow a statutory process that includes warning letters, forced‑collection notices and asset tracing. The assets may be auctioned in partnership with the State Assets Agency if debtors do not settle within the prescribed period. The operation cited the 1997 Tax Collection Law, its 2000 amendment, and the 2023 Treasury Regulation as legal bases.

The effort underscores DJ P’s push for stricter compliance and aims to bolster Indonesia’s fiscal health through more effective tax collection.
