INDONESIA'S CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX IMPROVES
Jakarta, Sept 26 (ANTARA) - Indonesia's Corruption Perception Index (IPK) in 2008 has improved by about 0.3 points to 2.6 compared with the figure in 2007, a finance ministry spokesman said.
Head of Human Relations Bureau of the Finance Ministry Samsuar Said here on Friday said that the increase in Indonesia's IPK was on a report by the International Transparency.
According to Samsuar, the bureaucratic reforms carried out in the directorates general of Taxation, Customs and Excise had contributed to the improvement in the country's corruption perception index.
"The improvement in the country's IPK indicated the people's perception that the taxation and customs and excise directorate generals already had better performance. The bureaucratic reforms also indicated that corruption had been dealt with seriously," Samsuar said.
He said that one of the indicators in the achievements of the directorate general's bureaucratic reforms was the implementation of its policy to shorten the length of time used to finish the settlement of goods in the main service category.
The settlement of an application for tax-payer's number (NPWP), for example, could now be shortened to 1.5 hours only from the previous length standard of one day. The issuance of tax surplus repayment order (SPMKP) could also be finished in 8.73 days from the previous one month standard.
Applications for tax objection with previous 12 months service standard could now be lowered to 2.29 months.
Based on the result of a performance measuring in Tanjung priok port in March 2008, it was noted that 100 percent import administration services for the lane of priority goods could be shortcut to about 20 minutes only.
Besides, about 99.45 percent of import services through the green lane could be finished within 30 minutes.
About 86.96 percent of import administration through the red lane were finished in 12 hours and 30 minutes.
