Story of Fiscal Exit Increment

Posted by Me and Me at 02:28

Some passengers at Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali have been caught by surprise by the increase in the fiskal or exit tax for travelers going overseas, unaware of the new policy that exempts registered taxpayers from paying the exit tax.
.
Ritchy, an Australian living in Bali, who planned to depart from the airport the second day the new rules came into effect, appeared astonished to learn that the exit tax had been increased to Rp 2.5 million (US$222).
.
He paid the exit tax without much complaint but was unable to hide his disappointment about not getting enough information about the rise.
.
"I think it's a bit too much. What makes me upset is that there was no written announcement on the rise," he said Friday.
.
Even at the airport, he said, he did not get thorough information about the exemption for registered taxpayers, with the young tax officer on duty mentioning only "NPWP", the initials for the registered taxpayer's number.
.
Ritchy was not alone, with a number of people -- mostly foreign nationals -- also taken aback when it came to paying the increased exit tax.
.
The written announcement about the exit tax increase, written in Indonesian and English on two pieces of white paper, simply read, "According to the new regulation UU No. 36/2008 and PP No. 80, rate of fiscal tax Rp 2,500,000".
