The Directorate General of Taxes has obtained data on the owners of jumbo accounts totaling US$1.4 billion, or approximately Rp18.9 trillion, in Standard Chartered Plc, transferred from Guernsey to Singapore. These funds are claimed to be unrelated to the military and belong to businesspeople from various sectors.
Of the 81 suspicious accounts, 62 owners participated in the tax amnesty program that ended in March 2017. The remaining 19 account owners, whose funds were transferred to Singapore at the end of 2015, did not participate in the tax amnesty.
The Directorate General of Taxes will investigate these 19 account owners further. If the transfer of funds constitutes tax evasion, penalties will be imposed in accordance with the General Provisions and Tax Procedures Law (UU KUP).
