Indonesia’s current tax system, which has adopted “self-assessment” in accordance with the Tax Legals, requires all citizens to calculate, pay, and report their income taxes as individual taxpayers (Wajib Pajak Orang Pribadi/OP). As the year 2015 begins, so it also is the time for taxpayers to prepare their annual tax return for the prior year, 2014. The deadline for submission of 2014 Annual Income Tax Return is 31 March, 2015.

The Tax Office-Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) Pratama Tigaraksa, opened a public reception for the SPT report, 2014, on 13-22 March 2015 in the SDC-Summarecon Digital Center Mall-Gading Serpong. In order to support this event, DJP-Direktorat Jenderal Pajak Kanwil Banten invited the UPH Tax Centre to become involved in the event with the help of the Accounting students. The students essentially became tax officers and served the taxpayers by assisting them in reporting their tax obligations.

?It was a big and rare opportunity for our UPH students to serve as tax officers, so they could have a value added, real practice and not just theory in class,? said Yohanes Mardinata R, SE., Ak., M.Ak., CA., the Tax Centre Officer and lecturer in the UPH Accounting Tax-Business School who coordinated the event. The event was held in cooperation with Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) Pratama Tigaraksa, the DJP Office of Banten, and the UPH Accounting Department.
