Introduction to APHTs and Their Role in Excise Revenue

The Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) has played a crucial role in regulating the tobacco industry in Indonesia. One of the key initiatives undertaken by the DJBC is the establishment of Aglomerasi Pabrik Hasil Tembakau (APHT), which are designated areas for tobacco manufacturers. Recently, the DJBC announced that five APHTs have been designated across several regions, with four of them already operational.

Locations and Contributions of APHTs

The five APHTs are located in Soppeng, Kudus, Lombok Timur, Sumenep, and Kebumen. The APHT in Soppeng houses four tobacco manufacturers, while the APHT in Kudus has 16 manufacturers. The APHTs in Lombok Timur and Sumenep have four and 11 manufacturers, respectively. The APHT in Kebumen has four manufacturers. These APHTs have contributed significantly to excise revenue, with a total contribution of Rp 30 billion.

Importance of APHTs in the Tobacco Industry

The establishment of APHTs is expected to have a positive impact on the tobacco industry in Indonesia. By designating specific areas for tobacco manufacturers, the DJBC aims to improve regulation and oversight of the industry. This is expected to lead to increased revenue for the government and improved working conditions for employees in the industry.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the designation of five APHTs across several regions is a significant development for the tobacco industry in Indonesia. With four of these APHTs already operational, they have contributed Rp 30 billion to excise revenue. The establishment of APHTs is expected to have a positive impact on the industry, leading to increased revenue and improved working conditions.
