RI'S TAX RECEIPTS PROJECTED TO INCREASE 19.2 PCT IN 2009
Jakarta, Aug 15 (ANTARA) - The government has projected the country's tax receipts in the draft 2009 state budget at Rp726.3 trillion, up 19.2 percent from the revised 2008 state budget.
The government continued to expect a rise in tax receipts next year despite a cut in income tax rate for bodies to 28 percent from 30 percent and income tax rate for individuals to 30 percent from 35 percent pursuant to the new income tax law, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in his state-of-the-nation address before the House of Representatives (DPR) here Friday.
He said income tax rate for small and medium enterprises remained at 15 percent or 50 percent lower than the income tax rate for bodies.
In addition, the government had also decided to raise the amount of untaxed income of individual taxpayers to Rp15.8 million from Rp13.2 million previously to ease small and medium scale taxpayers' burden, he said.
"All of this is a form of equility in our tax policy, an equality accompanied by responsibility. We shall continue to take measures for the expansion of the tax base and the improvement of tax administrative system aimed at reaching the increasingly high target," he said.
The president said non-tax state receipts were projected to increase to Rp295.3 trillion next year, or an increase of Rp12.5 trillion from the revised 2008 state budget.
