Juridical Review Of The Collection Of The Acquisition Duty Of Rights For And Building (BPHTB) In The Sale And Purchase Of Land And Buildings In Tanjung Balai City
Introduction
The Land and Building Rights Acquisition Tax (BPHTB) is a tax that has been designated as a regional tax since January 2011. Every Regional Government is required to compile a Regional Regulation (Perda) in the context of BPHTB collection. In Tanjung Balai City, this collection follows Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2011 and Mayor Regulation Number 11 of 2011. The collection of BPHTB is a crucial aspect of the regional budget, as it contributes significantly to the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in the Tanjung Balai City Regional Budget (APBD). However, the effectiveness of the BPHTB collection system in Tanjung Balai City has been a subject of concern, with various obstacles hindering its smooth operation.
Background of the Study
This study aims to evaluate how the BPHTB collection system functions in the sale and purchase of land and buildings in Tanjung Balai City. In addition, this research also focuses on the legal certainty of the transaction which has been verified by the Regional Financial and Asset Management Revenue Service (DPPKA). The study employed a descriptive approach that is juridical normative, where interviews were conducted with key informants to understand more about the BPHTB collection process and the making of a buying and selling deed.
Methodology
The research methodology employed in this study is a descriptive approach that is juridical normative. This approach involves the collection and analysis of data related to the BPHTB collection system in Tanjung Balai City. The data was collected through interviews with key informants, including officials from the DPPKA and the Mayor's Office. The interviews were conducted to gather information about the BPHTB collection process, the making of a buying and selling deed, and the legal certainty of the transaction.
Results
The results of the study showed that the collection of BPHTB in Tanjung Balai based on Perwal Number 11 of 2011 did not fully follow the applicable procedures. The process of payment and research of the Regional Tax Deposit Letter (SSPD BPHTB) is not in accordance with existing provisions, resulting in legal certainty for the parties who transact cannot be guaranteed. This causes a delay in the transaction process, which in turn is detrimental to taxpayers and the local government itself.
Discussion
The study found that various obstacles in the collection of BPHTB in Tanjung Balai City were also present. Some of the causative factors include problems in the database, limited human resources, the value of transactions that are often unrealistic, and the value of NPOPTKP that affect tax revenue. These obstacles have the potential to reduce the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) in the Tanjung Balai City Regional Budget (APBD).
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, it is recommended that the Self-Assessment System in BPHTB collection can be run better. To achieve this goal, supervision of tax obligations must be improved. DPPKA should conduct in-depth research related to the amount of BPHTB owed and determine this in the Regional Tax Assessment Letter (SKPD) to avoid arrears. In addition, it is very important that taxpayers make BPHTB payments directly in accordance with the established system, and the tax provides adequate socialization to increase the awareness and compliance of taxpayers.
