Indonesian tax investigators handed three company executives to prosecutors over alleged tax offenses.

Investigators allege they used tax documents not based on real transactions, and that MHL also submitted tax returns or information that was false or incomplete.

What people are saying
The enforcement process against these taxpayers is expected to create a deterrent effect as well as serve as an educational tool, particularly for taxpayers in the South and Central Kalimantan Regional Tax Office area.
Taxpayers are expected to consistently fulfill their tax rights and obligations correctly, clearly and completely under the self-assessment system, in which taxpayers are given full trust to calculate, assess, pay and report their own taxes due.
