Sugawa said tax collection online is not easy because they have to be prepare the infrastructure first. Admittedly, for this there are human resource issues to solved before the system could implemented. “But if there is the intention, it can be done. Now we just do not want it to be unprepared. There’s no reason not to implement it. Begin to prepare for it”, he said. Sugawa justify tax evasion is indeed common in the district.

That is the potential amount of tax that would be obtained if an applicable online fee system is used”. said the politician of Buleleng.
