There are several types of taxes that we are already familiar with, such as Value Added Tax (PPN), Income Tax (PPh), stamp duty, Sales Tax on Luxury Goods (PPnBM), and Land and Building Tax (PBB). Now, we will talk about the State Revenue Module (MPN).
The State Revenue Module, better known as MPN, is a structured system used to organize receiving, depositing, collecting data, recording, summarizing, and reporting in a relationship with state revenue. MPN is an effort to modernize state treasury management by the Directorate General of Treasury of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia.
The scope of MPN includes four of the six scopes of state revenue, as follows:
- Tax Revenue
- Non-tax State Revenue
- Return of Expenditure Receipts
- Receipt of Third-Party Calculation
This MPN system is a step towards digitizing state treasury management so that the treasury function can be carried out correctly. MPN also has the following benefits:
- MPN will collect all state revenues
- Make it easier for taxpayers to pay taxes
- Help increase state revenue
- Provide benefits for state revenue administration activities efficiently, precisely, and quickly
This MPN system began to develop in 2012 by utilizing e-banking facilities and the concept of an e-billing system.
Before the implementation of MPN, there were three state revenue systems operated separately, namely: State Revenue System (SISPEN) by DG Budget/Treasury, the Tax Payment Reporting Monitoring System (MP3) by DG Tax, and the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) System managed by DG Customs and Excise. Supported by the Directorate General of Treasury, Directorate General of Taxes, Directorate General of Customs and Excise, Directorate General of Budget and Fiscal Balance, and Secretariat General, MPN became a program of the Ministry of Finance and became one of the fundamentals in bureaucratic reform.
MPN itself continues to experience the development of mechanisms and systems where, at the beginning of the launch in 2007, it was still very dependent on data from banks to obtain state revenue data. However, in 2012, a system was developed to utilize e-banking facilities as part of the e-billing system concept. This phase is often called MPN G-1.5, a breakthrough in creating a more effective MPN system. It was inaugurated in 2014 with the first transaction.
The development of MPN G-2 has flexibility that makes it easy for taxpayers to make payments online. Payments can be made using electronic methods such as ATMs, e-banking, debit/credit cards, and mobile banking.
In terms of payment, MPN also provides convenience for taxpayers by providing payment facilities through virtual accounts, credit cards, and e-wallets. In addition, transactions can also be made through PJAP to e-commerce. So, from now on, MPN payments can be made without leaving home. You can make MPN payments using MAS Mobile, a mobile banking application by Bank MAS. Here's how to make MPN payments through MAS Mobile:
- Open the MAS Mobile application
