REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Director General of Tax Ken Dwijugiasteadi gave an assurance on Wednesday that he would summon Google representatives to confirm data that it submitted regarding the company's revenue in Indonesia. "I have the data, so I will ask for their confirmation on whether the figures that they submitted are accurate," said Dwijugiasteadi.

He did not mention when the summons would be made, but the agenda for the meeting has been decided due to Google's history of tax avoidance. The authorities have requested for a copy of electronic data relating to revenues from advertisements.

Dwijugiasteadi also hoped that Google will respond to the summons so the process of paying income tax on their revenues, which had already been significantly delayed, can be completed quickly.

Dwijugiasteadi said that every company that operate and collect revenues in Indonesia are obliged to meet their tax obligations and contribute appropriately by paying the correct taxes to the state. "Regulations must be met and my job is to enforce them accordingly. I do not threaten or use force," he added.
