Jakarta – The Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, confirmed that the imposition of an entertainment tax of 40-75 percent for entertainment service businesses will not be enforced.
The minister emphasized that the rules related to this will return to the old rules, namely the Regional Tax and Regional Retribution Law (PDRD Law) as a reference.
"Back to the old one. Because it's a pity if all the jobs of 20 million people are closed. It's not right then," said Minister Panjaitan when met at his office on Friday.
The PDRD Law is known to be the applicable regulation before the Law on Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments (HKPD Law) was agreed upon by the DPR and the government.
