Implementation of Income Tax Collection on Sale and Purchase of Land and/or Buildings in Padang City

Abstract

Legal actions carried out by the community on land and buildings must always be accompanied by the making of the required deeds. These deeds must be made by an authorized official; in this case Notary and Conveyancer. The problems in this study include: 1) How is the implementation of income tax collection on sale and purchase of land and/ or buildings in Padang City? 2) What are the obstacles that arise in implementing income tax collection on sale and purchase of land and/ or buildings? This study applied a research method mainly in the form of an empirical juridical approach. The results of the study found that: 1) Based on Article 23A of the 1945 Constitution which states: “Taxes and other compulsory levies for State purposes are regulated by Law”, notaries have an important role as an extension of the government in increasing state revenues through tax collection, 2) Legal constraints in implementing the income tax collection on sale and purchase of land and/ or buildings are in the application of tax rules in which there are manipulation and forgery of the taxpayer data. The notary and the Directorate General of Taxes are expected to further increase their cooperation and be more active in conducting tax dissemination.
