Background and Objectives
The
integration of the Anticorruption Act, Anti Money Laundering

sought to increase the deterrence effect of prosecutions. Corruptors who seize illegal assets usually hide and
utilize them for their interest and seek to manipulate their taxes. Currently, KPK has not had the authority to combine the
Anticorruption Act and the AML Act with the Taxaction Act. KPK is only authorized to handle cases of alleged corruption
involving tax officials. KPK expects to utilize the Tax Law in an integrated manner by formulating charges of
Anticorruption Act and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act.
SIAP 1 will
support the initiation of the effort to integrate taxation into KPK’s
indictments by hiring one consultant to conduct a study on integrating the three Acts:
Anticorruption, Anti Money Laundering, and Taxation narrowing
from law perspective. The integration will also
including all related infrastucture and resources (ex: tax investigator,
special tax court, etc). SIAP 1 will
also conduct a group discussion among KPK, academic experts, practitioners, and the Directorate General of Taxation. The focus
group discussion will be a limited participation and will be held into 2
