Indonesia Insists on Maintaining Mineral Ore Export Tax Policy
Jakarta. Indonesia will maintain its policy on taxing exports of mineral ores, Deputy Finance Minister Bambang S. Brodjonegoro says, reminding the mining industry of its commitment to build smelters.
“We have the policy, and it must be continued. There is no change in the export tax,” Bambang said at his office on Friday night.
He also assured that policies on the mineral export ban set by the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry and the Industry Ministry will be maintained .
“We will coordinate with them [the two ministries] in a short time. On the tax export we are assured by the Finance Ministry that the policy will not change,” Bambang said. He denied that there will be a review or changes in the export tax regulation.
The Trade Ministry and Energy Ministry each has its own policy on the mineral export ban, such as the guarantee of mining companies’ willingness to build smelters, Bambang said.
