Opponent Hitting Through Tax

Opponent Hitting Through Tax - Tax matters is true economic technical problems now truly transformed into a political affair. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to twice raised this issue in his official statement. Business tax as a tool used to suppress anyone who is not in line with government policy.

In front of the department, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono ordered the police to investigate tax delinquent companies. This President's desire can easily be interpreted as political pressure on those who he thought were his opponents, when in fact it is a true friend.

Daily intermittent theme of this tax return with the President also stated that the pressure is easy to be interpreted as a warning to opponents of the government's silence on the committee critical Century.

"I think that political content is not inevitable," said researcher Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) Burhanuddin Muhtadi, to INILAH.COM. "Because this case has started since 2007. After that experience the bobbing, and has increased the issue again, at the Century Bank scandal spread to the surface. "

The same thing is said Ahmad Erani Yustika, an economist from the University of Brawijaya. "Director General tax political action should be avoided. Directorate of Taxes is also wrong when he did because the tax investigation told the Minister of Finance. If it's like that, do not bener too, "he continued.

In the beginning was the statement of Director General of Taxation stating Mochamad Tjiptardjo three companies under the banner of Bakrie trillion tax arrears. This public announcement a few days ago after his boss, the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani, the owner pointed Aburizal Bakrie, Bakrie Group berusahaan Century dropped by the Special Committee by means of the Golkar Party he leads.

Everything was done Aburizal, such conspiracy theories are believed to the truth, because the problem of personal problems personal alias. Sri Mulyani has shifted the political problems, impersonal becomes personal problems. This is one of the main fault Sri Mulyani.

Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Aburizal did not like him. Whether dislike where Aburizal, who would charge that Sri Mulyani lightly Golkar Chairman answered that with a slightly joking way: "We are both already married. She has a husband, I have a wife, so do not like each other. "

The above sequence of events, ranging from Sri Mulyani statement Aburizal dislike about him, and then the announcement of tax Delinquent three companies within the Bakrie Group, and continued to command President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to the ranks of the Police to enforce the law in the field of taxation, no doubt a very strong sense of political.

No need to really know the political problems to be understood that all counter-attack to be the chairman of Golkar and politically charged. Admittedly, the onslaught of the Golkar Party faction who insistently toward Sri Mulyani about his role in saving the Century Bank is considered incompetent and financial harm to the state government supporters were wondering why the party that became one of the coalition supporting it do all that.

In the view of government supporters, both coalition members would not particularly blame criticism of government policy. All members of the coalition is doing it categorized as an opponent to be attacked back, if need be dismissed from the coalition.

But this paradigm was not used Golkar. Aburizal precisely understand that the coalition is doing well is a criticism if the government was wrong and supports if true.

This is what he calls the ethical coalition. Golkar would put myself as a true friend, where the errors should be disclosed and not vice versa maalah hidden, where it is actually going to destroy my friend.

So, is wrong if the government supporters, say the Democratic Party and the President himself if put Golkar as an opponent to be destroyed by the disclosure of the chairman of business problems.

Aburizal not afraid of pressure addressed to him. "Golkar will not change his attitude about the case of Century Bank, simply because there is pressure. For nothing to do with the tax issue Golkar. I never said anything was shot dead while Golkar party attitude has not changed, "

In connection with the alleged tax arrears, Aburizal ensure the company has paid taxes in accordance with the law. If one considers the Directorate General of Taxes otherwise, let the court decide the truth.
