Indonesian local government tax collection initiatives

Overview

Indonesian local governments are implementing various initiatives to improve tax collection and public service accessibility. Early efforts focused on increasing awareness through events like ‘Gebyar Pajak’ in Bengkalis Regency and establishing ‘One Stop Service’ desks in Sidoarjo Regency to streamline administrative processes for residents and companies.

As strategies evolved, some regions introduced specific incentives to boost Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) realization. For example, in Serang City, officials planned to reward neighborhood leaders with luxury electronic goods if their areas met an 80 percent tax payment threshold.

However, some areas continue to struggle with compliance. In Cirebon Regency, officials reported significant difficulties meeting targets, with some villages achieving realization rates as low as 5.2 to 20 percent. Challenges cited include low taxpayer compliance and the tendency for residents to delay payments until harvest season.
