Separately, DPRD member Achlif Nugroho Widi Utomo explained that the public hearing was one of the stages in the mechanism for establishing regional regulations.
"The purpose of this public hearing is how do we hear input and suggestions from the community, because the community is the object of taxation," said Achlif Nugroho
Achlif also revealed that later there would be a rate adjustment in the application of taxes and fees that would be applied.
Not only the rate increase, but also the rate reduction in some elements of taxes or levies.
As is known, the draft regional regulation is a follow-up to Law number 1 of 2022 concerning regional financial balances.
For this reason, according to Achlif, the regional regulation must be immediately enacted.
"So the assumption of regional income for 2024 will already refer to the regional regulation," said Achlif Nugroho.
Especially with regard to local revenue (PAD) from elements of taxes and levies.

"Hopefully the product of regional regulations or regional regulations on regional taxes and fees will not burden the community, but will still fulfill the element of increasing local revenue from the tax element," he hoped.
Based on the mandate of the existing law, continued Achlif, all local revenues from taxes and fees must be included in one regional regulation, including health services.
Even though it has the status of a Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD).
"Regulations regarding health services are still included in regional regulations. Even if there is a change in rates later, it is sufficient to change them technically in the regent's own regulations," he concluded. (Endah)
