JAKARTA April 13 2015— Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association calculates the potency of tax from foreign vessel transporting national export commodities may reach IDR5 trillion – IDR12 trillion per year.
Chairwoman of DPP Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association (INSA) Carmelita Hartoto said the calculation is a result of review by the association particularly VAT and income tax from foreign vessels transporting coal CPO and offshore vessel.
She said she has submitted the calculation when the tax and sea transportation authority summon entrepreneurs in national sailing industry to learn more about tax potency from foreign vessels.
The summon intends to seek potency of tax revenue from foreign vessels sailing international route for transporting coal CPO and other mining products.
“We have been summoned by Directorate General of Tax and Ministry of Transportation to learn more about the tax potency from foreign vessel” she said Saturday (4/11).
In the meeting INSA explains about tax potency from foreign vessel providing tremper service for commodities. So far the vessels are not imposed with tax while local vessels providing similar service pay taxes.
Carmelita assumes the most effective mechanism to impose tax on foreign vessels is by requiring the vessels to submit tax payment receipt when they are about to sail overseas.
She said the policy is a common thing since local vessels also pay tax.
“With the government focusing on this sector it changes the taxing system prevailing for national vessels while it does not revise final taxing policy for sailing industry” she said.
Carmelita suggests the government to change the taxing system imposed on national sailing industry while maintaining the final taxing policy.
