Visited by a Tax Officer with a Debt Collector, Soimah: I Was Treated As If I Was a Corruptor

Visited by a Tax Officer with a Debt Collector, Soimah: I Was Treated As If I Was a Corruptor

The versatile artist Soimah Pancawati or Soimah shared an unpleasant experience she received from an unscrupulous tax official. 

The unpleasant incident that he experienced happened not just once. 

"In 2015, when I came to my house, the tax person opened the fence without kulonuwun (excuse me) suddenly at the door as if I wanted to run away," Soimah said as quoted from YouTube Blakasuta. 

Soimah also feels that she is always suspected by the tax officials for whatever she does. 

Even Soimah has to keep all her spending notes. 

"At that time, it was successful at the start, if there was a lot of money, my first task was to make me happy, to help my family. Is it okay to help my family? I was asked for a gold note," said Soimah. 

"Well, when I help you, you use a note, so you don't believe 'cook helps a brother this big', yo, my karep to (it's up to me). So you have to use a note, that's in 2015," he added. 

Not only that, the pavilion which at that time had not yet been completed, the purpose of which was to accommodate artists, was also subject to tax assessments. 

"This pavilion has not yet been built, it is already surrounded by tax people. Visited, measured, from 10.00 am to 05.00 pm, surveyed the pavilion," said Soimah. 

"Is this a tax person or a carpenter? Why are you measuring from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm, arep ngopo (what do you want). In the end, the hall was appraised for nearly Rp. 50 billion, even though I just didn't know how much it would cost," he continued. 

When she found out that the pavilion she had built was valued at almost Rp. 50 billion, Soimah felt confused, whether she was sad or happy. 

"On the other hand I'm sad, how come that is possible, on the other hand I'm happy. I'm happy like this, if it sells Rp. 50 billion, tukunen, I'm lucky that I'll just pay taxes, tukunen nek payu Rp. 50 billion," said Soimah. 

Soimah also revealed the attitude of unscrupulous tax officers who visited her house in Jogja with debt collectors. 

He was accused of deliberately avoiding the tax officials by always not being at home, even though Soimah was indeed working in Jakarta. 

"So my position is often in Jakarta, at home the KTP address is where my in-laws are, always visited, you always get letters, you think about it, don't understand anything," said Soimah. 

"Finally a tax person came to my sister's place, brought a debt collector, brought two, hit the table, it was at my sister's house," he continued. 

Even though she regretted the actions of the unscrupulous tax officer, Soimah said she was still obedient in paying taxes. 

"Soimah won't run away, you can look for her, don't worry, you will definitely pay, but treat her well," said Soimah. 

"I work as a result of toil, a long process, my own sweat, not the result of theft, not the result of corruption, how come I am treated as if I am ****, I am a corruptor," he regretted. 

Didatangi Oknum Petugas Pajak Bersama Debt Collector, Soimah: Saya Diperlakukan Seakan-akan Saya Ini Koruptor

Artis serba bisa Soimah Pancawati atau Soimah ceritakan pengalaman tak menyenangkan yang dia terima dari oknum petugas pajak.

Kejadian tak menyenangkan yang dia alami itu terjadi bukan hanya satu kali.

"Tahun 2015, datang ke rumah, orang pajak buka pagar tanpa kulonuwun (permisi) tiba-tiba di depan pintu yang seakan-akan saya mau melarikan diri," ujar Soimah dikutip dari YouTube Blakasuta.

Soimah juga merasa dirinya selalu dicurigai oleh petugas pajak atas apapun yang dilakukan.

Bahkan Soimah harus menyimpan semua nota pengeluarannya.

"Waktu itu awal-awal sukses, kalau banyak uang, tugas saya pertama membahagiakan, membantu keluarga, masak bantu keluarga enggak boleh? Dijaluki (dimintai) nota mas," kata Soimah.

"Lha masak aku bantu saudara pakai nota, jadi enggak percaya 'masak bantu saudara segini besarnya', yo sak karepku to (terserah aku dong). Jadi harus pakai nota, itu tahun 2015," imbuhnya.

Bukan itu saja, pendopo yang saat itu belum selesai dibangun, yang tujuannya dibangun adalah untuk mewadahi para seniman, juga tak luput dari penilaian pajak.

"Ini pendopo belum jadi, udah dikelilingi sama orang pajak. Didatangi, diukur, dari jam 10.00 pagi sampai jam 05.00 sore, ngukuri pendopo," ujar Soimah.

"Ini tuh orang pajak atau tukang? Kok ngukur jam 10.00 pagi sampai 05.00 sore, arep ngopo (mau ngapain). Akhirnya pendopo itu di appraisal hampir Rp 50 miliar, padahal saya bikin aja belum tahu total habisnya berapa," lanjutnya.

Saat tahu pendopo yang dibangunnya dinilai hampir Rp 50 miliar, Soimah merasa bingung, antara sedih atau senang.

"Di sisi lain saya sedih, kok bisa begitu, di sisi lain saya senang. Senangnya gini, kalau itu laku Rp 50 miliar, tukunen, aku untung nanti aku baru bayar pajak, tukunen nek payu Rp 50 miliar," ucap Soimah.

Soimah juga mengungkap sikap oknum petugas pajak yang mendatangi rumahnya di Jogja bersama debt collector.

Dia dituding sengaja menghindari petugas pajak dengan selalu tidak ada di rumah, padahal Soimah memang sedang bekerja di Jakarta.

"Jadi posisi saya sering di Jakarta, di rumah alamat KTP kan ditempat mertua saya, selalu didatangi, bapak selalu dapat surat, bapak kan kepikiran, enggak ngerti apa-apa," kata Soimah.

"Akhirnya datang orang pajak ke tempat kakak saya, bawa debt collector, bawa dua, gebrak meja, itu di rumah kakak saya," lanjutnya.

Walaupun menyayangkan tindakan oknum petugas pajak tersebut, Soimah mengatakan dirinya tetap taat bayar pajak.

"Soimah enggak bakal lari kok, bisa dicari, jangan khawatir, bayar pasti bayar, tapi perlakukan lah dengan baik," ucap Soimah.

"Saya kerja hasil jerih payah, proses panjang, keringat saya sendiri, bukan hasil maling, bukan hasil korupsi, kok saya diperlakukan seakan-akan saya ba****an, saya ini koruptor," sesalnya.
