Head of Regional Office of West Java Province DGT, Yoyok Satiotomo said that the National Tax Competition was a routine event held in this competition regarding tax knowledge.
“By this activity, participants may broaden their knowledge about the world of taxation and its rules,” Yoyok said after opening the 2019 KPN.
In addition, conveyed by Yoyok, this 2019 KPN could also measure the ability of participants in the field of taxation, and trained soft skills in communicating and speaking in public.
“And actually, these students are the prospective future taxpayers, and they will certainly practice their tax knowledge in real life. So, they can become compliant taxpayers,” he added.
According to Yoyok, the tax knowledge they got from this national tax competition could also be conveyed to taxpayers.
“Along with this condition, taxpayers can be more obedient in paying taxes,” he explained.
