DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, he said, can not exempt the full ticket tax as already done by the provincial government of South Sumatra and West Java. Because the city government is still hampered Perda no. 6/2010 on General Provisions of Regional Tax.

Whereas Article 42 paragraph (1) in the regulation stipulates on the request of the taxpayer, the Governor may provide the highest tax deduction from the Tax principal.

"For Inasgoc [Indonesia Asian Games 2018 Organizing Committee] I asked for taxes removed 100% us enggak nemu because the principle can not. I hope Mr. Erick [Chairman of Inasgoc, Erick Thohir] is patient, we will find a solution, "he said.

Taxes that can be earned from the sale of tickets Asian Games was quite large. Referring to the Jakarta Provincial Regulation No.3 / 2015 on Entertainment Tax, the Asian Games tax goes into the category of international-class sporting events, which is set at 15%.

This means that if DKI Provincial Government provides maximum tax deduction, every ticket sold will be taxed at 7.5%. This figure is still quite large considering the tax for national sporting events is only pegged 5%.

Inocgoc Chairman Erick Thohir has asked Jakarta government to move quickly to get a decision related to the tax exemption of Asian Games 2018 tickets.
