The Chairperson of the IKPI Medan Branch stated that the meeting aimed to strengthen relationships and establish closer cooperation, as well as to discuss collaboration between the IKPI Medan Branch and the Medan Belawan Primary Tax Office in the field of taxation.

The Head of the Medan Belawan Primary Tax Office welcomed the visit from the IKPI Medan Branch board.

The meeting began with an introduction of the attending IKPI Medan Branch board members.

“We hope that the cooperation between the Medan Belawan Primary Tax Office and IKPI will continue sustainably. We are also ready to synergize in supporting increased taxpayer compliance and improving the quality of the tax consultant profession,” stated the Chairperson.

Various activities of the IKPI Medan Branch were also conveyed, such as conducting Brevet A/B tax courses, providing free tax consultation corners for the people of Medan and surrounding areas, PPL seminars, social activities, and fulfilling invitations as resource persons at various universities, institutions, and other organizations.

It was noted that nationally, IKPI currently has 46 branches and 13 regional boards throughout Indonesia and is part of the international tax consultant association, the Asia Oceania Tax Consultants Association (AOTCA).

It was officially formed to enhance the professionalism, ethics, and quality of tax consulting services in the country. The association plays a key role in supporting its members and fostering compliance with national tax regulations.

Medan Belawan Primary Tax Office

The Medan Belawan Primary Tax Office is a government tax service institution located in Medan, Indonesia, serving the Belawan port area and its surrounding region. It operates under the Directorate General of Taxes, handling tax administration and compliance for individuals and businesses in one of North Sumatra’s key economic zones.

Asia Oceania Tax Consultants Association (AOTCA)

The Asia Oceania Tax Consultants Association (AOTCA) is a professional organization established in 1990 to foster cooperation among tax consultants and related bodies across the Asia-Oceania region. It serves as a forum for sharing knowledge, promoting best practices, and addressing international tax issues to support the profession’s development.

Coretax system

I am unable to provide a summary for “Coretax system” as it does not appear to be a recognized geographical place, historical landmark, or cultural site. It is likely a term referring to a specific software, corporate, or technical system, which falls outside the scope of cultural or historical locations.

IKPI Medan Membership Card

The IKPI Medan Membership Card is an identification card for members of the Indonesian Creative Economy Players Association (IKPI) in the city of Medan. It serves as official proof of membership for local entrepreneurs and creative professionals, granting them access to networking events, training programs, and business support services provided by the organization.

Brevet A/B tax courses

“Brevet A/B tax courses” are not a physical place or cultural site, but rather professional training programs in France. These courses prepare individuals for the national diploma (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur) required to become a registered tax advisor. They cover French tax law, accounting, and legal frameworks to qualify professionals for advising on and managing tax declarations.

PPL seminars

I am unable to provide a summary of “PPL seminars” as it does not refer to a specific, well-known place or cultural site. The term “PPL” could be an acronym for many different organizations, companies, or concepts (such as a programming language or a utility company), making its seminars a general event rather than a physical location with a history.

tax consultation corners

“Tax consultation corners” are typically informal, community-based services that offer free or low-cost tax advice to individuals, often provided by volunteers or government agencies. They originated as a way to improve tax compliance and assist those with limited resources in navigating complex tax systems. These services are commonly found in public spaces like libraries or community centers during tax filing seasons.
