Huge gratitude belongs to God Almighty, that by His blessings and approval, this
report entitled "Indonesia Taxation Quarterly Report IV-2019" is now published.
This publication continues DDTC’s relentless commitment in providing the latest
update for every tax stakeholder in Indonesia. More than ever, we believe that all of us
are getting more concerned to Indonesia’s taxation development and its dynamicity.

To satisfy the underlying needs, this edition delivers continuous provision of
DDTC’s core missions: to influence and to contribute in tax policies’ formulation,
also elimination of asymmetry of taxation information in Indonesian society, that
hopefully can be attained gradually along with the publication of the report.

This form of initiative is getting more important as we can see more clearly now that
the dimensions of taxation are not limited just to revenue matter, but also economic
competitiveness and development as a whole. Based on this multidisciplinary
perspective, "Indonesia Taxation Quarterly Report IV-2019" brings its mission to
provide objective, critical and balanced perspective.
Similar to previous reports, this publication starts with updating the most recent
tax developments followed by two chapters related to strategic issues: Anticipating
Compliance Risk Management and The Future of Local Tax under Omnibus Law.

May this report help us embrace 2020 with relentless hope, confidence along with
persistent efforts to support our tax system development. It is our genuine hope to
bring maximum impact that will benefit to Indonesia as our beloved nation.
