“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

World Bank gives loan to RI to improve tax systems

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 01/19/2009 5:43 PM

The World Bank, one of the country's major donors, has approved a US$110 million loan to the Indonesian government to help it improve taxation systems.

The soft loan was approved and announced from Washington last week, a media statement said.

"Indonesia has already embarked on a major effort to reform its system of collecting tax revenues, most notably by revamping the directorate general of taxation, introducing modern compliance management systems, and passing the Tax Procedures Law in 2008," the Bank's country director for Indonesia, Joachim von Amsberg said in the statement.

The Finance Ministry's directorate general of taxation performed surprisingly well last year, persuading over 3 million people to register for their tax number (NPWP) and making a surplus of Rp 37 trillion in tax revenues, or 106 percent more than the planned state budget.

The tax office succeeded by launching massive tax campaigns and offering numerous incentives to people with an NPWP, including exemption from the Rp 2.5 million (US$227) exit tax for overseas travel and amnesty from administrative fines for tax return adjustments for 2007 and earlier.

It began its tax reform efforts in 2001, with a strategy aimed at: promoting voluntary compliance among taxpayers; increasing the efficiency of administration; and restoring taxpayers' confidence in the fairness and integrity of tax administration.

The office also runs other programs, such as taking over workers' tax liabilities for companies hit hard by the crisis in order to stimulate economic growth, the Finance Ministry's directorate general for taxation Darmin Nasution said.

According to von Amsberg, the $110 million loan aims to help the office embark on an even more progressive reform in tax administration through a project called the Project for Indonesian Tax Administration Reform (PINTAR).

"Through PINTAR, the World Bank sets out to complement this effort by helping the Indonesian Government expand tax bases, both in terms of increasing the number of tax payers and of transactions coming into the tax system, which would in turn help generate more non oil and gas tax revenue," he said.

The PINTAR program will help increase the directorate general's tax efficiency and capacity, he added, through improved administrative systems, advanced training of human resources and better management.

"Through strengthened staff capacity, integrity standards and a more service-oriented approach, PINTAR will enable better taxpayer services reducing compliance costs for the private sector," said World Bank senior public sector specialist and project team leader, Jens Kromann Kristensen.

He added a modern integrated IT system will also help raise productivity and facilitate information exchange across the Directorate General of Taxation. (dis)
