According to a report received by Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, there is an alleged act of thuggery committed by an employee at the Tigaraksa Tax Office (KPP Pratama), Tangerang, Banten.
The Minister of Finance received this complaint through the newly launched public complaint service via WhatsApp number “Lapor Pak Purbaya” (listed in the news: 082240406***).
“The report alleges thuggery committed by a Tax Account Representative (AR) at the Tigaraksa Tax Office,” the Ministry of Finance stated in a press release.
Minister Purbaya strongly suspects that this act of thuggery is related to the forced demand for money from taxpayers.
Purbaya expressed his annoyance and shock at the report.

Employee Corruption, involving alleged violations of the code of ethics, such as bribery, gratuities, or even the leaking of confidential taxpayer tax data for personal or group gain.
Political Impact and Context. This scandal adds to the long list of challenges faced by tax institutions in achieving state revenue targets and building public trust.
In a political and policy context, the disclosure of this case has several implications:
The Ministry of Finance’s action to “expose” this corrupt practice demonstrates a commitment to cleaning up the bureaucracy, in line with the President’s instructions regarding governance reform.
This case will once again draw sharp scrutiny from the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR), particularly its Commission XI (Finance), regarding the effectiveness of internal oversight within the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT).
The behavior of individuals suspected of violating ethics and the law is considered to violate the principle of fiscal justice, where public compliance is expected, but enforcers in the field abuse their power.
As of the publication of this article on Monday, November 16, 2025, there has been no detailed official statement from the Ministry of Finance regarding the number of individuals involved or the specific sanctions that will be imposed.
“The public is awaiting firm government action to ensure transparency and accountability in tax management,” he said.
