INFOKU, BLORA – Data on motor vehicle tax arrears in Blora Regency has reached IDR 29 billion.
So this data places Blora Regency as the area that is most non-compliant with paying taxes because its ranking is at the bottom in Central Java.
This data was conveyed by Central Java DPRD member Commission C from the Golkar Party, Padmasari Mestikajati, during a socialization on motor vehicle tax payment compliance to support the development of Central Java.
Currently the arrears have reached IDR 29 billion, and Blora is in 35th position with the lowest level of compliance. "For this reason, just pay vehicle tax immediately," he explained.
