The educational event discussed the application of the new employee tax rates based on Minister of Finance Regulation No. 168 of 2023 and was attended by over 177 participants. The event aimed to familiarize clients with the guidelines for withholding income tax related to work, services, or activities of individuals so that business owners can easily calculate the withholding of Income Tax Article 21 according to the new regulations.

According to the Ministry of Finance, taxes contribute dominantly to state revenue in the State Budget, reaching up to 70%. BCA Syariah's Director, Pranata, stated, "The dissemination of tax regulations is a form of BCA Syariah's educational activities aimed at enhancing financial literacy among clients. This event also provides a platform for clients to engage with tax experts. Our hope is that clients' understanding of tax governance will improve and bring benefits to the sustainability of their businesses, ultimately contributing positively to economic growth."

During the educational session, BCA Syariah invited Tax Expert, Dian Anggraeni from the Directorate General of Taxes, as a speaker. The collaboration between BCA Syariah and the Tax Directorate through these socialization activities is part of BCA Syariah's commitment to enhancing tax literacy and awareness among clients.

The purpose of the implementation of Minister of Finance Regulation No. 168 of 2023 is to simplify the calculations for tax withholders. This new regulation also facilitates employees in checking the tax deductions already made, thereby realizing an effective, efficient, and accountable tax administration system that encourages voluntary compliance.

 "We hope this education will enhance state tax revenue. As we know, the taxes paid are not only used for national interests but also for public purposes such as infrastructure development, healthcare facilities, and state expenditure in all sectors," added Pranata.
