What's happening in PresUniv
Tax is one of the sources of state income, where tax payments must be made by every person in Indonesia following the applicable laws. However, awareness in paying taxes in Indonesia still needs to be improved. Currently, the Directorate General of Taxes targets the younger generation, or what is now called millennials, to be equipped with various tax information. Of course, this is because the younger generation will run the Indonesian economy, which is also a taxpayer.
To support creating a tax-conscious young generation, President University with the West Java Regional Tax Office formed a Tax Center located in the President University lecture building. By keep prioritizing health protocols, on October 8, 2020, President University and West Java Regional Office of the DJP carried out the signing of the MoU as well as the inauguration of the Tax Center located in Building B President University. The signing was represented by Prof. Dr. Jony Oktavian Haryanto as Rector of President University, and Drs. Yoyok Satiotomo M.A. as Head of West Java Regional Tax Office.
This Tax Center will later become a medium for West Java Regional Tax Office in increasing tax literacy among civitas academica at President University. This Tax Center will run for the next five years where various activities will be held, such as training, consultation, research, socialization, and others regarding taxation. It is hoped that with this Tax Center, all civitas academica, especially students, will be able to enrich their knowledge and abilities in taxation.
President University dan Kanwil Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP) Jawa Barat II: Mewujudkan Generasi Muda yang Sadar Pajak
Pajak merupakan salah satu sumber pendapatan negara, dimana pembayaran pajak wajib dilakukan oleh setiap orang yang berada di Indonesia sesuai dengan undang-undang yang berlaku. Akan tetapi kesadaran dalam membayar pajak di Indonesia masih perlu untuk ditingkatkan. Saat ini Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP) menyasar generasi muda, atau yang sekarang disebut milenial untuk dibekali berbagai informasi mengenai pajak. Hal ini tentunya karena generasi muda lah yang akan menjalankan perekonomian Indonesia, yang juga menjadi seorang wajib pajak.
Untuk mendukung terciptanya generasi muda yang sadar pajak, President University bersama dengan Kanwil DJP Jawa Barat membentuk Tax Center yang terletak di gedung perkuliahan President University. Dengan tetap mengedepankan protokol kesehatan, Pada tanggal 8 Oktober 2020, President University dan Kanwil DJP Jawa Barat melaksanakan kegiatan pendatanganan MoU sekaligus peresmian Tax Center yang berada di Gedung B President University. Penandatanganan diwakili oleh Prof. Dr. Jony Oktavian Haryanto selaku Rektor dari President University, dan Drs. Yoyok Satiotomo M.A. selaku Kepala Kanwil DJP Jawa Barat.
Tax Center ini nantinya akan menjadi media bagi Kanwil DJP Jawa Barat dalam meningkatkan literasi pajak di kalangan sivitas akademika di President University. Tax Center ini akan berjalan hingga 5 tahun kedepan dimana akan diadakan juga berbagai kegiatan, seperti pelatihan, konsultasi, penelitian, sosialisasi, dan lain-lain mengenai perpajakan. Diharapkan dengan adanya Tax Center ini, seluruh sivitas akademika, terutama mahasiswa mampu memperkaya pengetahuan dan kemampuannya dalam perpajakan.
