Penerimaan Pajak 2017 Baru 89,7 Persen dari Target APBN
- JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Direktorat Jenderal Pajak ( DJP) Kementerian Keuangan menyebut total keseluruhan penerimaan pajak tahun 2017 mencapai Rp 1.151 triliun.
- Realisasi penerimaan pajak tersebut dari awal tahun hingga 31 Desember 2017 lalu, berbeda dengan yang sebelumnya disampaikan oleh Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani Indrawati pada Selasa (2/1/2018) lalu yang datanya baru sampai per 30 Desember 2017.
- “Penerimaan dari sektor perpajakan saja, tanpa penerimaan lain seperti dari Bea dan Cukai, tahun 2017 mencapai Rp 1.151 triliun atau 89,7 persen dari target dalam APBN-P 2017,” kata Direktur Jenderal Pajak Robert Pakpahan saat menggelar konferensi pers di kantornya, Jumat (5/1/2018).
- Robert menjelaskan, realisasi penerimaan pajak 2017 mengalami peningkatan, dengan pertumbuhan 4,08 persen.
- Adapun angka pertumbuhan penerimaan ini disebut lebih banyak dipengaruhi oleh penerimaan tahun 2016 yang sifatnya tidak berulang, yaitu dari program tax amnesty dan revaluasi aset tetap dengan besaran Rp 122,7 triliun.
- “Apabila penerimaan yang sifatnya tidak berulang ini dikeluarkan dari perhitungan, maka pertumbuhan penerimaan pajak 2017 mencapai 15,8 persen atau jauh lebih besar,” tutur Robert.
- Salah satu faktor pendorong pertumbuhan penerimaan pajak disebut Robert dari tingkat kepatuhan wajib pajak yang semakin membaik.
- Dari catatannya, pada tahun 2017, sebanyak 12,05 juta wajib pajak menyampaikan Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan (SPT) dari total 16,6 juta wajib pajak yang harus menyampaikan SPT.
- “Rasio kepatuhan ini merupakan yang tertinggi dalam catatan DJP,” ujar Robert.
- Adapun jabaran poin besar penerimaan 2017 dari sektor perpajakan adalah Rp 596,89 triliun untuk PPh non migas, Rp 480,73 triliun untuk PPN dan PPnBM, Rp 16,77 triliun untuk PBB, Rp 6,75 triliun untuk pajak lainnya, dan Rp 49,96 triliun untuk PPh migas.
Pemahaman
Tata Bahasa: Per-…-an vs Ke-…-an Nouns
Both Per-…-an and Ke-…-an are noun forming circumfixes.
The main function of per-…-an is to create nouns from ber- verbs:
bertumbuh, to gwow >> pertumbuhan, growth
berhitung, to calculate >> perhitungan, calculation
bermain, to play >> permainan, a play, game
bertanya, to ask >> pertanyaan, a question
bercakap, to converse >> percakapan, a conversation
The main function of ke-…-an is to create abstract nouns (an abstract noun is a noun that refers to something that cannot be seen, touched, or physically felt). Ke-…-an nouns are based on adjectives:
patuh, obedient, compliant >> kepatuhan, obedience, compliance
seluruh, all, entire >> keseluruhan, entirety, overall
tinggi, high >> ketinggian, altitude
baik, good >> kebaikan, goodness, kindness
bebas, free >> kebebasan, freedom
bersih, clean >> kebersihan, cleanliness
cantik, beautiful kecantikan, beauty
sehat, healthy >> kesehatan, health
sulit, difficult >> kesulitan, difficulty
Some per-…-an nouns mean both ‘affairs to do with [base]’ and ‘place where a large number of [base] are found/collection of [base]’.
perpajakan, taxation, tax affairs
perikanan fishery affairs; fishery
perkebunan horticulture; plantation
perkotaan, urban affairs; urban area
persawahan rice cultivation; cluster of rice fields
peternakan animal husbandry; animal farm
pertokoan shopping matters; shopping area
Just like abstract ke-…-an nouns, many of these noun-derived forms also function attributively with other nouns. Although they literally mean ‘having to do with [base]’, they are typically translated using the same word as the base noun. Here are some examples of these forms used as modifiers:
petugas perpajakan, tax inspector
sektor perpajakan, taxation sector
kebijakan perpajakan, taxation policy
sengketa perburuhan, labour dispute
masalah perekonomian, economic matter
dunia perfilman movie world
bidang perhotelan, hotel sector
daerah perindustrian, industrial district
Many ke-…-an nouns have a similar function. They also mean ‘having to do with [base]:
kedokteran, medical, having to do with doctors
kehutanan, forestry, having to do with forests
kepolisian, having to do with police
keuangan, finance, finances
They also frequently modify another noun:
kementerian keuangan, ministry/department of finance, treasury
departemen keuangan, department of finance, treasury
fakultas kedokteran, faculty/college of medicine
menteri kehutanan, minister of forestry
akademi kepolisian, police academy
soal keuangan, financial matters
