The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) has seized assets from a company identified as PT AG, located within the Jakarta Selatan II regional office jurisdiction, following a failure to settle tax arrears totaling Rp 24.86 billion. Officials blocked two company bank accounts containing a combined balance of Rp 33.49 billion on May 14, 2026, before finalizing the seizure on June 10, 2026, at a Bank BNI branch in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.
Chronology of Enforcement Actions
The tax authorities initiated formal collection procedures well before the seizure took place. According to the Kanwil DJP Jakarta Selatan II, the agency first issued a formal warning letter (Surat Teguran) on September 24, 2024, to encourage voluntary compliance. When the arrears remained unpaid, the KPP Pratama Jakarta Kebayoran Baru Satu office issued a formal tax collection warrant (Surat Paksa) on October 8, 2025.
Following the expiration of the deadline set by the Surat Paksa, the tax office moved to secure the company’s assets. On May 14, 2026, authorities blocked two bank accounts held at the BNI Hang Lekir branch. The final seizure was conducted on June 10, 2026, by Juru Sita Pajak Negara Ibnu Shodiq W, with coordination from the Kantor Pusat Bank BNI to ensure procedural compliance.
The tax authority’s seizure of PT AG’s accounts involved a specific, coordinated effort with Bank BNI at its Hang Lekir branch, located at Jalan Hang Lekir 2 No. 28, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan.
Implications for Tax Compliance
The seizure of PT AG’s accounts serves as a clear signal of the DJP’s “active collection” policy, which the agency describes as a final resort. The Kanwil DJP Jakarta Selatan II maintains that these actions are taken only after all persuasive and administrative efforts have been exhausted. By prioritizing legal enforcement, the agency aims to demonstrate a commitment to professional and fair tax administration.
The significant gap between the tax arrears of Rp 24.86 billion and the total frozen balance of Rp 33.49 billion suggests that the government has sufficient liquidity to satisfy the debt. This case underscores a growing trend where tax authorities leverage banking sector cooperation to bypass traditional collection hurdles, effectively turning the banking system into a primary enforcement tool for outstanding tax liabilities.
What Happens Next
With the funds now under seizure, the tax office is likely to proceed with the formal transfer of the arrears amount from the frozen accounts to the state treasury to settle PT AG’s outstanding debt. If the company disputes the assessment or the seizure process, it may seek legal recourse through the tax court system. However, unless a successful challenge is mounted, the seized funds will remain restricted until the tax obligation is fully discharged.
