Secretary of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Trade, Marthin, said that his party is relaxing the non-tax state revenue (PNBP) originating from the issuance of a certificate of origin (SKA). This SKA, said Marthin, is usually processed by exporters who send their products abroad. "In the past, this PNBP issuance was Rp. 5,000 per set, then Rp. 25,000 per set in April 2018," said Marthin in the PNBP Relaxation Webinar during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Monday (19/10/2020).
In the midst of this pandemic, the government issued Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) Number 137 / PMK.02 / 2020 concerning the Determination of Zero Rupiah Rates for Certificate of Origin Issuance Services that apply to the Ministry of Trade due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The way exporters must take to take advantage of this facility is to first apply for a tariff of Rp. 0.00 by filling out the form in the e-SKA system of the Ministry of Trade. This PMK does not change the provisions regarding the procedure for using the SKA form in the regulation of the minister of trade regarding the procedures for payment of state revenue for the issuance of SKA for goods from Indonesia electronically.
Meanwhile, during the period of this rule, Marthin said from October 10 to December 31, 2020. According to him, the free PNBP service policy was the government's effort to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 so that it was hoped that it could boost or at least maintain export enthusiasm in Indonesia amid the pandemic. .
"SKA itself is a document proving that Indonesian exported goods have met the Rules of Origin of Indonesia," he explained. "The provisions are in our agreement with other countries as our partners, for example exports to ASEAN, for example TKDN must be 40% so it can get relaxation," he added.
Furthermore, Marthin said, the utilization of PNBP funds originating from SKA is usually for six activities. First, ensuring the availability of SKA forms. Second, securing the distribution and improving the SKA formula administration system. Third, guidance and services for the business community in utilizing SKA. Fourth, settlement of cases with export destination countries. Fifth, increasing international trade cooperation / agreements. Sixth, improving the quality of human resources. Please note, this relaxation is a mandate from Law Number 9 of 2018 concerning PNBP. In managing PNBP, the Minister of Finance as the fiscal manager has the authority to evaluate, compile, and or determine the types and rates of PNBP at PNBP management agencies based on recommendations from PNBP managing agencies, and under certain conditions, PNBP rates can be set up to Rp. 0.00 (zero rupiah ) or 0% (zero percent).
