In his speech, Mr. Razikun stated that MUC was established in Jakarta ten years ago but the embryo was actually born earlier in Surabaya in year 1994. “Since its establishment, MUC has been determining to render the best tax service to its clients and to bridge their interest with the tax office. This role is expected to enable the clients to focus more on their core business,” Mr. Razikun added.

Meanwhile, in her speech Ms. Titut Sayekti stated that Tax Office recently is collecting information from various sources to enhance the state revenue from tax.
