"Bali's Provincial Leaders Rejects Airport Tax Hike
Bali's Parliamentarians Say "No" to 50% Increase in International Departure Tax.
Bali's Provincial Parliament (DPRD) has formally served notice to the Central Government in Jakarta that they reject the recent decision to increase the international departure tax 50% from Rp. 50,000 to Rp.75,000. In a letter sent to the Minister of Communication, dated May 20, 2001, the stated reason for the rejection of the increase in departure tax was the failure of the Airport Authority to coordinate the decision to increase the tax with Bali's local government..........It remains unclear what the effect of the provincial parliament's rejection will have on the actual collection of the Bali airport tax. The collection of the tax fee increased to Rp. 75,000 from its former level of Rp. 50,000 on June 01 and the collection of the tax is done within the confines of the airport - an area entirely under the control of the airport authority"
