South-east Asia's largest economy offered a pardon for tax offenders in exchange for low penalty rates for nine months ending in March 2017. Jakarta's amnesty was regarded as among the world's most successful due to the size of assets declared and the revenue generated, but some also criticised it for failing to significantly widen Indonesia's narrow tax base.The programme unearthed assets worth US$330 billion and added 135 trillion rupiah to state coffers, with less than one million taxpayers participating.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development , in a report earlier this year, said Indonesia has the lowest tax-to-GDP ratio in Asia-Pacific. Last month, Ms Indrawati told Parliament the government predicted a 134.3 trillion rupiah shortfall in revenue collection this year, largely due to sluggish tax revenue growth. In October 2016, during the amnesty programme, the OECD suggested Indonesia tell taxpayers there would not be further amnesties, to discourage evasion. REUTERS
