Only IDR 200 Million Target Tax for Mining C in Blora

INFOKU, BLORA –At the end of last year, the mineral and coal (Minerba) excavated C tax amounted to IDR 329 million.

This year, the Blora Regency Government is only targeting Rp. 200 million to enter local revenue (PAD).

There are only three licensed mining locations and miners are obliged to reclamation.

Blora Slamet Pamudji, Head of Revenue, Financial Management and Regional Assets Agency (BPPKAD), targets that mineral and coal tax revenues can contribute Rp. 200 million in PAD.

This amount is considered rational when referring to last year's end-of-year revenue of Rp 329 million.

"We urge parties to have an obligation, don't forget to pay the non-metal mineral and rock (MBLB) tax for the regions," he said.

Mumuk said that until April this year revenues had reached around Rp. 61 million.

The details are from the mine site in Sambeng, Todanan District, amounting to IDR 51.3 million or around 84 percent. From partners of IDR 9.8 million.
