Indonesia's Tax Authority Embarks on Cultural Reform

Commitment to Modernization

Director General of Taxes, Bimo Wijayanto, has made a firm commitment to eradicate the feudal culture within the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance. This significant move is part of a broader effort to modernize the tax authority's organizational structure and work practices.

Rejecting Hierarchical Practices

Bimo Wijayanto has explicitly rejected the old bureaucratic practices that promote hierarchical and unhealthy working relationships. The Director General emphasized that such practices are no longer relevant in the current era of bureaucratic reform. The decision reflects a strategic shift towards creating a more egalitarian and efficient work environment within the DJP.

Alignment with Bureaucratic Reform

This initiative is closely aligned with the broader bureaucratic reform agenda in Indonesia. By eliminating feudal culture, the DJP aims to enhance its operational effectiveness and better serve the public. The reform is expected to have a positive impact on the overall tax administration system in Indonesia.
