TEMPO.CO, Pontianak - The Communication and Informatics Minister Rudiantara said that his office and the finance ministry are working to collect tax search engine, Google. "I support the effort. We will not give up," he told Tempo in Pontianak, West Kalimantan on Tuesday, October 18, 2016.


Rudiantara said he has no idea why Google tends to avoid paying taxes. "I do not know why. They choose not to pay their duties," he said


The minister added that Indonesia has sent a letter to Google, stating that all businesses in Indonesia are subject to taxes.


"I told Google, if they plan to reach a settlement, we can talk this out," said Rudiantara.


Google has not registered as a corporate in Indonesia, although it reaps profit in Indonesia. It has also refused to pay taxes in the past five years worth Rp5.5 trillion.
