Orchids for taxpayers; Indonesia hopes for a surge in revenues
Article Abstract:
Indonesia is undertaking a revenue enhancement program to help finance an increase in government spending for FY 1993. Government expenditure is expected to rise to Rps 623 trillion while tax officials are counting on income tax revenues to rise 36% to Rps 14.8 trillion. However, most economists feel that the government needs to improve its tax collection efforts, since only a small percentage of Indonesians pay taxes.
