Indonesia
has imposed a tax amnesty in 1984, but its implementation is not effective
because the response of taxpayers is very less and not followed by reform of
the tax administration system as a whole. Therefore, the implementation of the
tax amnesty this time must be carried out carefully and well prepared. The need
for public support and approval in full and their adequate legal base has also
become an important factor of the successful implementation of this tax
amnesty.
