INFOKU, BLORA – Revenue of IDR 16 billion was achieved from land and building taxes (PBB) in Blora last year.
However, there are still unpaid arrears of around IDR 5 billion, which are constrained by several factors from billing to deposit.
To avoid fraud, the Blora Regency Government cooperates with the state prosecutor (Kejari) to make it more optimal.
Blora Tulus Prasetyo, Head of Regional Revenue Collection and Controlling of Regional Revenue, Financial Management and Assets Agency (BPPKAD), said in a statement to the press that PBB revenue at the end of last year exceeded the target of IDR 17.6 billion to IDR 18 billion. Even though the target was exceeded, several villages still had arrears.

"Actually there are many obstacles to paying PBB, so we are working with the prosecutor's office," he explained.
