SHARIA LAW OF TAX AMNESTY IN PERSPECTIVE OF THE SOUTH KALIMANTAN MUSLIM

The rising standard of living will require an ever-increasing budget. This can be seen from the size of the Indonesian government budget for 2017, revenue in the APBN only Rp 1750.3 trillion while spending reached Rp 2,080.5 trillion. One way to increase state revenues without adding a new burden to the community is through a tax amnesty program. This policy then from the legal aspect, especially the tax amnesty legislation contains legitimacy about not enforcing the applicable laws and regulations, especially regarding administrative sanctions, criminal sanctions and legal form of tax Firqah Annajiyah, Sharia Law of Tax Amnesty, 141 amnesty arrangement itself. From the legal aspects of Islam, this policy of tax amnesty cannot be ignored to see the elements of maslahat and mafsadat or the dominant effect it causes in society. Therefore, author consider the Muslim economist is the right person to be consulted about the policy of tax amnesty, so that the research on tax amnesty perspectives Muslim economist South Kalimantan conducted. This research is empirical law research, which is research done in certain environment, in this case done in South Kalimantan Province. The results found are Muslim economists of South Kalimantan have a view that is divided into two in terms of tax amnesty policy, namely agree and disagree. Those who agree with this policy have the foundation of the priestly (government) policy on the people based on the benefits and considering the amount of benefits obtained compared to the non-tax amnesty.

the side of tax object in the form of increasing the number of taxpayers. 2ven so, the efforts of Indonesia Directorate General of Taxation to grant a pardon to the taxpayer or the taxpayers still tinged with the pros and cons of the various parties.Indonesia's tax amnesty program has conducted twice, in 1984 and 2008.Implementation of the tax amnesty in 1984 was a failure for these programs because their implementation is not effective, the response time of the taxpayer is very less and not followed by reform of the tax administration system as a whole.Meanwhile, in 2008 there was an increase of 5.6 million new taxpayers, but after that the level of tax compliance stagnated, tax revenues go down, and so does the tax ratio that does not rise significantly 3 From the aspect of the law, particularly legislation, the question of remission of taxes (tax amnesty) containing not impose the legitimacy of the legislation in force, especially concerning administrative chastisement, criminal punishment, and the legal form of tax amnesty arrangement itself.Providing incentives especially in the realization of tax amnesty will cause various effects of injustice (inequitable) because only certain taxpayers who will receive or enjoy it, prone to be abused, and tax incentives as government subsidies will result in a loss of potential revenue from the tax sector.
From the aspect of Islamic law, this tax remission policy can not be overlooked see elements of beneficiaries (maslahah) and mafsadat or dominant effect it has on society.The issue of fiscal policy, especially tax amnesty is included novelty in jurisprudence because this issue has not been discussed in the books of Islamic jurisprudence, especially classical fiqih.However, due to tax amnesty it is not contained in textual sources of Islamic law, nor never previously practiced by the Prophet and the four khalifah, that author feel the need to conduct legal research related to tax amnesty issue in the eyes of Islamic economic laws.
Author feels the importance of the contemporary study regarding fiscal policy in the Islamic economic concern and also get approval from the experts and scholars in their field.As a Muslim is required to find out the truth of everything that there is no doubt in it.It is necessary to ask for an explanation from those who have knowledge (intellectual Muslim) in providing an explanation about them as a person who has a social responsibility.As Allah says in Al-Nahl: 43 "then ask the person who has knowledge if you do not know".Therefore, author considers Muslim economists are right to be consulted about the tax amnesty policy.They are professionals in the disciplines of sharia socio-economic study.Therefore, consider the Muslim economist is the right person to be consulted about the policy of tax amnesty, so that the research on tax amnesty Muslim perspectives economist South Kalimantan conducted.
Based on this background, the researchers wanted to examine the concept of taxation and tax forgiveness in Islam, through a study entitled: "Sharia Law of Tax Amnesty in Perspective of the South Kalimantan Muslim Economists".

Method
This research is empirical juridical law.Thus, the juridical empirical approach in this research means is that in analyzing the problems made by combining the ingredients of the law (which is a secondary data) with the primary data collected in the field, namely on how the Muslim economist South Kalimantan view on tax amnesty. 4ata collection methods used by the author in this study are: 1. Research Library (Library Research) is a research method that is done by reading books of literature in order to obtain, collect data and assess the more accurate data to assist authors in developing topics related to the headline writers choose.2. Research Field (Field Research)  that author conducted interviews (interview) directly on the object of research.That is a direct converse with Muslim economists South Kalimantan by asking questions to obtain information or explanation which more accurately in order to obtain a more objective conclusion.Mechanical determination of informants drawn by researcher is purposive sampling.As the name implies, the informant is taken with the intent or purpose.Someone or something sampled because researcher believe that someone or something that has the necessary information for research.The interview is a process of questions and answers in ongoing research orally in which two or more face-to-face hearing directly information or details. 5 Interviews were conducted in an unrestricted answer, open by using a list of questions that have been prepared (as an interview guidelines) in accordance with the problems to be sought answers without the possibility to add other questions spontaneous connection with the answers given by the respondents.Interviews conducted only on selected respondents hereinafter called the informant, who represent the Muslim economists in South Kalimantan.Respondents of this research is Muslim economists that mature in experience and ability, they were appointed because of its competence.
In conducting the field research, researcher will bearing interviews to: 1. Prof.

Result and Discussion
Tax is a source of state income that is very important in sustaining state expenditure financing.Almost every country in the world collects taxes on its citizens.The size of the tax levy depends on the policies of each country in managing finances and economics.Tax is a compulsory contribution to a country that is owed by an individual or a compelling entity based on the Law, by not getting compensation directly and used for state purposes for the greatest prosperity of the people.Tax payments are a manifestation of state obligations and the role of taxpayers to directly and jointly carry out tax obligations for state financing and national development.In accordance with the philosophy of the tax law, paying taxes is not only an obligation, but it is the right of every citizen to participate in the form of participation in state financing and national development.. 6 Tax amnesty is a policy offered to disclose all income or assets that have not been reported, pay ransom as a penalty, add revenue to the state and encourage voluntary compliance.With the opportunity offered, the taxpayer begs forgiveness from the government for dishonesty in filling out the tax form and promises to be obedient.This policy is expected to be able to obtain a significant additional revenue in the short term, relatively short time and not to incur large costs.
But for the community, however forgiveness is given, tax is still considered a burden, given the obligation to pay taxes which in turn will reduce the purchasing power of the person, especially when compared to having no obligation to pay taxes.For economists, the tax amnesty policy is not merely a government tool to meet funding needs, but also to influence people's behavior, both economic and psychological behavior.The burden on the community on the one hand and the potential for considerable revenue on the other hand for the government often makes the benefits and role of tax amnesty seen differently, in accordance with the perspective of each party.
So what is the Tax Amnesty policy in Islam (sharia law)?So the abtraction or interpretation of the knowledge circles is that Muslim economists whose concentration of study is economic and intense with Islamic economic studies or have experience in the field of law in Islamic economics need to be done to see how this Tax Amnesty policy concept.

The Existence of Tax Amnesty
Program: Perspective of the South Kalimantan Muslim Economists One of the government's policies in the tax fiscal field is the tax amnesty program, which is regulated in Law Number 11 of 2016 concerning Tax Amnesty.
Tax amnesty allows individuals or entities to pay off tax obligations that they had not previously fulfilled, without having to be threatened by some or all of the financial penalties or confinement that normally applies if tax evasion occurs.The policies adopted by the government of a country, the longterm goals are increasing the number of taxpayers and increasing voluntary compliance.
The implementation of Indonesia's tax amnesty program is considered by many to be the most successful tax amnesty in the world.Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati revealed data on the achievement of the tax amnesty program as the most successful in the JP Morgan Financial Consultants, assessing the achievement of the implementation of the tax amnesty program currently underway in Indonesia has far exceeded the initial market expectations for property statements in the range of US $ 30-US $ 50 billion or around Rp. 400 trillion-Rp.700 trillion (US $ 1 = Rp.13,200). 7rom the report since the end of the 2016-2017 tax amnesty program, there are a number of things that have been achieved by the policy, including the tax amnesty program in Indonesia which is the most successful in the world compared to Italy, Chile and South Africa.Indonesia managed to collect assets reports of Rp. 4,881 trillion, while Italy made Rp1, 179 trillion, Chile Rp.263 trillion, and South Africa only Rp. 115 trillion.In addition the tax amnesty program has saved state taxes that have been hampered so far.Its success can increase the state treasury.If cash increases, the development program launched by the government will run smoothly.Tax amnesty is also a big capital to achieve increased compliance performance in the future.The expansion of the database and efforts to maintain tax compliance from participants of the tax amnesty allows a change in the structure of tax revenue which is the beginning of a comprehensive tax reform. 8atrya, one of the Muslim economists in South Kalimantan, views this policy as a way for the government to attract public funds that have been parked in other countries' banking, he said, "The purpose of this tax amnesty is in the framework of one of the sources of state revenue to finance development.With the hope that entrepreneurs who have large funds abroad are urged to do tax amnesty.Then the funds can enter, then adjusted to the government program, until the completion of this program.We see from the point of view of the government, seeing it positively, entrepreneurs who have large funds, who are deposited abroad, may be afraid of being taxed or otherwise, then tax amnesty is applied, and then will be monitored closely enough so that later, when the program is completed, It is expected that all funds abroad can be used domestically for development, where development is certainly for the community as well.As long as you not kemplang9 the money." 10 Agreeing with Fatrya, Syahrituah Siregar also argued, "Tax amnesty, the aim is that money abroad is withdrawn to the country, so that domestic liquidity can be good.Then it extends to tax order.Effectiveness in terms of attracting funds abroad usually fails, but even so, Indonesia's figure is quite successful compared to foreign countries, but still far from the nominal that you want to achieve or from the potential that exists."11But he regretted this policy because according to him tax amnesty became no longer strategic because small taxpayers were also subjected to tax intensive, whereas according to Syahrituah, only those who had a very large amount of assets should be targeted.
Still in line with the opinion of Fatrya and Syahrituah, Handry views the tax amnesty program by saying, "the tax amnesty policy is actually to achieve the potential tax that has been outside the system.So there are those who report the tax under what they should, then many are the term entrepreneurs who do transfer pricing 12 .So the goal (tax amnesty) broadens the tax base to enter the system.Next year all countries exchange information 13 , so it's good to ask forgiveness now.The tax amnesty target is actually the circle of rich people.So it benefits more for the people and the country.This also actually teaches us honestly." 14hereas Mahmud Yusuf explained, "so that the tax amnesty is made by the government with the assumption (assumption before taking a policy) that our country has many Indonesians to save their funds abroad.How can the funds parked abroad be withdrawn to Indonesia?Then the tax amnesty policy is used.People who do not report their assets, the impact is that 12 Transfer pricing is a company policy in determining the price of transfer of a transaction whether it is goods, services, intangible assets, or even financial transactions carried out by the company.The transaction itself can be done in one country (domestic transfer pricing), as well as with different countries (international transfer pricing).Handry here uses the term transfer pricing connoted with something that is not good (often called abuse of transfer pricing), which is a transfer of income from a company in a country with a higher tax rate to other companies in a group in a country with more tax rates low thus reducing the total tax burden of the group company.
13 Automatic Exchange Of Information (AEOI) in accordance with the press release number 25 / KLI / 2016 dated 2 (two) May 2016 by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia, Indonesia will conduct international cooperation in the field of information exchange for taxation purposes which is one of the global initiatives in a series of efforts to overcome the world financial crisis.The Government of Indonesia will implement AEOI with 94 (ninety-four) other jurisdictions that will be effective since September 2018.Here Handry asserts that if automatic exchange of information has occurred, it will be more difficult for taxpayers because all assets both domestically and abroad will be able to known by the authorities.Therefore according to Handry it is better to use a tax amnesty facility while still being given the opportunity. 14Interview with Muhammad Handry Imansyah, 25 June 2017.
they do not pay taxes, then how do people who do not recognize their assets abroad can be returned to Indonesia.The goal is to maslahah.If there is no law on tax amnesty, the Indonesian property remains parked abroad.The consideration is, to forgive people who are "sinful" (not paying taxes or not reporting assets according to the original), or not benefiting at all from the money that is abroad for the benefit of their own country.Because it is even worse if the funds remain abroad.There is income that is not reported abroad, more difficult, than forgiving the person for entering his money domestically." 15uhaimin's maslahah view was also given, he said, "the government has run out of ideas, which how taxpayers can pay a one-hundred percent tax (all tax-compliant), in this case employers become the most tax-arrears.So for the benefit of the general public and how this tax can be withdrawn, I think that this tax amnesty or tax amnesty is legitimate.Moreover, the concept in general can be accepted in various countries.As far as I know, the concept of forgiveness is in all areas of law.So forgiveness is part of something that naturally exists.Tax amnesty from origin is made for public benefit, its okay.And in Islam there is also forgiveness that is for balance with sanctions and concessions.Same is in the realm of law there is an exception." 16hile Lutpi Sahal sees that the tax amnesty policy is precise by the government, he said, "amnesty of taxes has its positive and negative.The positive state is helped, the government gets additional taxes.The negative is that if the company is not fined as it should be and instead is forgiven, then we experience a loss from this forgiveness.But if it is not forgiven, then it is likely that they will not pay taxes.Forgiven they will want to pay because of the tax amnesty relief.So in this way the government takes the policy to forgive those who are actually guilty (not paying taxes or not reporting property properly) so it is right (the policy) of the current government." 17he opinion of the Muslim economists in South Kalimantan above is based on the rules of ushuliyyah and fiqhiyyah such as: "In principle, every thing (outside worship) is permissible unless there is an argument that shows otherwise"."The harm (mudharat) must be eliminated." "All harm (mudharat or danger) must be avoided wherever possible" "Avoiding harm (mudharat or danger) are above interpretations to brings benefits (maslahah)" "A special dharar must be borne to avoid general dharar (wider)." "If there are two conflicting damages or dangers, then greater damage or danger is avoided by committing an act that risks less harm." Even so some ushul experts argue that maslahat cannot be used as a legal basis or is used as a proposition unless the Shari'a recognizes it.Other ushul experts argue that maslahat can be used as a legal basis as long as there is no argument against it.Because the problems of life have never ceased to appear, and the benefits are also increasing.If welfare cannot be used as a legal basis, legal proceedings will stop and many legal issues will not be resolved. 18hallaf in Al-Ijtihad fi Asy-Syariah Al-Islamiyyah argued that building legal provisions based on merit is a feature of the flexibility of Islamic law.
Because according to him, every problem that arises and is needed by the environment, must find a solution in the Shari'a, as long as the benefit really exists, not just an allegation and desire for lust alone.The maslahat must also be public, not personal.Khallaf also said that if the Companions of the Prophet, Tabi'in, and the Mujtahid establish the law by realizing the benefits, they think to bring benefits and keep away from harm. 19he problem of this policy is not only limited to the requirement of requiring a requirement from the mandatory, because there are general rules and general principles of sharia law that are used as the basis for taking by Muslim scholars from the sharia texts and the conclusions of their special laws.Thus the rules become the main principle for implementing policies and deciding a problem.From the rules arise the term, such as maintaining public interest, rejecting the language takes precedence over the benefits of two things that are equally beneficial, choosing something less dangerous than the two conditions which are equally dangerous.
Author reviews from the opinion of Imam Ghazali who is a Syafi'i scholar in which he is a scholar who uses very little rules of mashalih almursalah (on the basis of interest).He said that if the state treasury is empty and there are no sufficient costs to pay for military expenses while the enemy 19  Khallaf.p. 274-275.enters into an Islamic state, or the growing uprising from those who mean evil, then the head of state may collect fees from the rich.Because we know that when two dangers arise the sharia law requires rejecting a greater danger. 20his is in line with the opinion of Imam Syatibi who is a follower of the Maliki school in his book ‫َّلعتصام‬ who said, 'if we compare this dharar (taking part of the property) with dharar that might arise (if the power falls in the hands of the enemy), then they (state leaders) have the right to take property here.It seems not to be debated to consider the second dharar more than the first dharar.We clearly understand this from the purpose of the Shari'a, before looking at the amplifier. 2122o the opinion of Ghazali and Syatibi that allows the authorities to take policies in taking their people's property for the sake of the state in certain situations is based on the principle of "the obligation to carry little danger to avoid greater danger".Therefore, the South Kalimantan Muslim economists above, such as Muhaimin, Fatrya, Syahrituah, Handry, Mahmud, and Lutpi, have the same understanding that the tax amnesty policy ia as part of a policy that prioritizes benefit and prevents From the report, according to Muhaimin, Fatrya, Syahrituah, Handry, Mahmud, and Lutpi, it would be worse if it was not forgiven by the delayed tax payment, so the state could not use the funds for the benefit of the public at large.Conversely, if forgiven, the state will benefit in terms of the flow of funds that will be expected in the state treasury will be more income and ultimately its use is for the benefit of the country, namely the welfare of many people.
Meanwhile, Noval considers that there is an injustice to this tax amnesty 23 McKinsey & Company is a multinational management consulting company.The company is a consultant for 80% of the largest companies in the world and is considered one of the most prominent consulting management companies.See the official McKinsey & Company website https://www.mckinsey.com/. 24Fixed income here does not mean literally 'fixed income' but economic terms to refer to bonds or debt.Fixed income or bonds is debt but in the form of security, namely a statement of debt from the bond issuer to the bondholders along with a promise to repay the principal and interest coupons later on the payment due date.policy.Noval said, "If there is a tax amnesty there will certainly be a procons.Pro, funds abroad can be state revenue because there are taxes, and also to increase the rate of economic growth, it can be for bonds used for Indonesia's development.The cons is because as if due to tax amnesty, people who from the beginning were not respected.So those who are disobedient are even forgiven, while the obedient ones have no appreciation.I think to be fair, the obedient ones should be given appreciation." 25ikewise with Hudaya who argued that the tax amnesty policy was actually more beneficial for those who were guilty and the benefits felt by the state were only a little.Hudaya said, "This tax amnesty is not fair.Those who pay taxes, billions, trillions, are forgiven by paying only this year.But when we are obedient, then we can be late.This extends not only to the rich, but also to the small community and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM).If we look at the background of the publication of the law on tax amnesty, it means that those who benefit are those who are big tax evaders.The country benefits only a little." 26artin Umi Anisah's thoughts on tax amnesty are also in line with Hudaya's thoughts, Hartin said "Tax amnesty is causing contradiction.Small people also get hit.Even though tax evaders commit crimes.If tax amnesty is applied again, those who commit tax crimes think of 'ah, it's okay for us to be forgiven later'.So that a system like this actually creates opportunities for people to commit crimes.Tax amnesty is different from forgiveness in Islam.Different treatment with Islamic law.In Islam, the law makes people deterred and thinks twice about committing a crime.But tax amnesty, people even think of committing a crime assuming later it will be forgiven.
If indeed what you want to wear is people who just pay taxes, then you should be entrepreneurs or rich people who are simply called and told to pay off their tax debt.If all this is like this, then the losers will be the small people.The mudharat in my opinion is even more.Because this does not only affect the present and not only to certain people.That's why not all policies are equally hit like this should be taken." 27he thought of Noval, Hartin and Hudaya regarding the injustice of the tax amnesty policy based on the guidance of justice for the community from a leader in this case the government in accordance with the Shari'a.This is in accordance with the rules fiqhiyyah that is: "For them there are rights such as the rights that exist in us and to them are burdened with obligations such as the burden of obligation to us". 28Q.S. Al Hujurat/49: 9; "and if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah's command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surly Allah loves those who act equitably." 29 in the hadith number 1329 Tirmidhi's history reads, We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path of Allah; (as for) those who go astray from the path of Allah, they shall surely have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning '. 32 To see how far a government has been fair to its people, it can be seen through decisions and policies issued.When applying the law equally and equally to all its citizens who do wrong or violate the law, without choosing, 31  the leader can be said to have done justice.But on the contrary, if the leader only punishes some people (ordinary people) but protects some others (elite or conglomerate), even though they are both breaking the law, then the leader has done wrong and is far from fair behavior.On that basis, then some Muslim economists in South Kalimantan consider this policy unfair because according to them they benefit more from those who tax the conglomerate than the ordinary people who obey the tax.In fact, they view the state as benefiting only very little compared to the profits taken by the journalists with the existence of this tax amnesty.
Imam Nawawi rahimahullah also been at loggerheads because they think it's unfair the current leader in tax collection.Sham Sultan lived in luxury while people are asked to pay taxes because the state treasury is empty but when it was set on fire.At that time there was an attack massive Tartar troops to the territories of the Muslims, almost all the territories of the Muslims have conquered by the Tatar troops.Sham ruler at that time was Sultan Zahir Baibas.He invited the scholars to deliberation in the face of Tatar troops, being cash in Baitul Maal insufficient for war.Finally they determined that the state will collect taxes to the people, especially the rich to help the cost of war. 33urns Imam Nawawi is not present in the show, so it raises a question mark for the Sultan.Imam Nawawi then finally called.Sultan said to him, "Give me your signature along with other scholars".But Imam Nawawi not willing.Sultan asked Imam Nawawi, "Why you resist?"Imam Nawawi said: "I know that the Sultan was once the slave of Amir Banduqdar, you do not have anything, then God gives wealth and the king maketh, I hear you have a thousand slaves.Each slave has oversized clothes of gold, and you also had 200 jariah, every jariah have jewelry.If you have means to spend it all, and servant was wearing only woolen cloth alone instead, as did the jariah only wear clothes without jewelry". 34he view of injustice in the tax law in tax amnesty policy is reinforced by the results of research by Safri in his Efektifitas Program Tax Amnesty Dan Faktor Keberhasilannya: Pembelajaran Dari Negara-Negara Yang Pernah Menerapkan.Safri examine the state had to apply tax amnesty like, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ekuadaor, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Australia, and new Zealand.Of all the countries he had concluded their negative impact treatment tax amnesty that feelings of injustice and anger of taxpayers who have been obedient to report his tax liability. 35urrently, Indonesia has three time doing tax remission since 1984.Before tax amnesty in 2016-2017 Indonesia did the sunset policy 36 in 2007-2008 where according Ngadiman and Daniel Huslin in research entitled Pengaruh Sunset Policy, Tax Amnesty, dan Sanksi Pajak Terhadap Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak (Studi Empiris di Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Jakarta Kembangan), was based on the results of data analysis known that sunset policy and no significant negative effect on tax compliance. 37his means that with the removal of sanctions policy against those who do not pay taxes properly, does not necessarily make tax compliance be increased.
Where Güneú Çetin Gerger in 2012 to do research with title Tax Amnesties and Tax Compliance in Turkey, published in the International Journal of Multidisciplinary Thought.In his research, Gerger explained the relationship of tax compliance and tax amnesty by using analysis of the empirical results of a survey done in Turkey.Tax amnesties are used by the Turkish government with the purpose of generating revenue for the country's economic pressures, including political 35 Safri, "Efektifitas Program Tax Amnesty Dan Faktor Keberhasilannya: Pembelajaran Dari Negara-Negara Yang Pernah Menerapkan." 36 Amenities elimination of tax administrative sanction in the form of interest as stipulated in Law No. 28 of 2007. 37Ngadiman and Daniel Huslin, "Pengaruh Sunset Policy, Tax Amnesty, Dan Sanksi Pajak Terhadap Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak (Studi Empiris Di Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Jakarta Kembangan)," Jurnal Akutansi XIX, no.02 (2015): 225-41.and financial concerns.However, the frequent recurrence of the tax amnesty, proved to have a negative effect on the attitudes and behavior of taxpayers.Taxpayers who are expected to be instead tend amnesty doing something towards tax evasion.The negative effects of the tax amnesty on the attitude and behavior of the taxpayers also have led to a reduction in their tax payment compliance behavior. 38his is also in line with the results of the research entitled With the tax amnesty involves recognizing a capital flight out of the country, both treasure legal and illegal.From the facilities acquired by the taxpayer at the top, the government will 'clean up' and will not press preliminary evidence the existence of the treasure.That is allegedly partly a money laundering 40 the result of unlawful acts such as corruption, illegal trafficking of drugs, weapons, and human trafficking 41 , will be ignored.
Regarding this facility Hartin Anisah Umi said, "True, it's like as we clean up money from all over the place."Similarly with Noval who saw there is a loophole 42 that can be used by money laundering actors, he said, "the weak tax amnesty in my opinion is there.No longer see where the money is, where it is legal or not.Until the initial goal was to improve the economy or economic growth, the status of the money was legalized, it was considered clean money even 40 Money laundering is an act attempts to conceal or disguise the origin of money or Wealthproceeds of crimethrough various financial transactions of money or assets that it looked as if it came from a legitimate activity / legal.In general, criminals try to hide or disguise the origin of the assets that are the result of a criminal act in various ways so that assets difficult to trace the proceeds of crime by law enforcement officials so as to freely utilize the assets both for the activities which legally or illegally.See Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money laundering 41 Human trafficking or trafficking are all transactionbuying and selling of humans with the purpose of human exploitation.Exploitation includes at least; prostitution (exploitation of prostitution) of others or other such forced labor or services, pebudakan or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs 42 Loophole or legal loopholes, is a weakness or leniency in the law that could be used for the benefit of mankind.Loophole is meant by Noval is a legal loophole that is often used to pay less tax than they should, but it does not violate the law.
though it was indicated that money had activities contrary to the law." The opinion that withdrawing income from prohibited matters is tantamount to preserving, helping or justifying disobedience in accordance with al-zzIzz Ibn with Fatrya who said, "Consideration is only in terms of the legal suitability of the state, so we don't consider the origin as in the religious side.The result of winning gambling, the result of corruption.Maybe the important consideration is to enter the funds first into the country, then monitoring them.See more maslahat on this regulation." 45imilarly, Syahrituah argued, "(this policy) was pragmatic, the main objective was money in Indonesia.Political economy, Corruption Collusion Nepotism (KKN), the case of economic law, where money that has been withdrawn in Indonesia means clean and recognized, no longer see where the money came from.Even though the existence of money abroad is also not affordable (cannot be taken or tried).Although there are actions to demand or take back the money that is "washed", there is no achievement either.The principle is that there is a potential for us to clean up "haram" money.But the government must be committed to fairness, to defend its people, not easily fooled by the system." 46hereas Handry said, "there will indeed be a stowaway coming in.Like money from illegal business or other dirty money.But in my opinion it won't be much.Of course, more of them have real companies.In terms of person, at least up to 1000 (people) in 45 Interview with Fatrya Putra. 46Interview with Syahrituah Siregar.
Indonesia.In this case we are realistic, it is impossible for all grasses to be uprooted, but this is a better choice than having to lose the potential of money." 47till having a similar opinion, Mahmud said that, "there is an income that is not reported abroad which is more difficult than forgiving the person for entering his money domestically.For example, the funds were obtained illegally, that's one mistake, than when someone put abroad, and that's two mistakes.So if a tax amnesty is carried out, for example, the fund is taken from an illegal method, but if it is used for benefit, the error is only one, but the funds can still be utilized.I think that the consideration is that it will be done again.This choice is not good with very bad, so we choose the less good.If the choice is not good and good then of course we choose the good." 48n connection with the view of benefit, Lutpi Sahal argued "in relation to the maslahah to Indonesia, for public facilities in Indonesia, the halal-haram problem (the source of property that is forgiven by the tax amnesty program) essentially so as not to be eaten, so if for public purposes such as roads, bridges and others then used is not a problem.." 49 Differences of opinion regarding the taking of tax from sources that are not known to the law of the object -47 Interview with Muhammad Handry Imansyah.48 Interview with Mahmud Yusuf 49 Interview with Lutpi Sahal halal or haram, from legitimate or illegal activities -also occur to Muslim scholars such as Ibn Hajar and Ibnul Mundzir.Ibn Hajar said, nya the principle is, the person who is known that his property is halal, then the gift may be accepted; while the person who is known that his property is haram, then the gift must be rejected.As for doubt, it is better to reject it for the sake of caution.' Whereas according to Ibnul Mundzir, yang people who are loose in this matter reason that even though Allah said about Jews, Q.S. Al-Ma'idah/5: 42, "They are listeners of a lie, devourers of what is forbidden" 50 , but the Prophet once pawned his armor to a Jew while he realized that he was a Jew.Likewise the Prophet took taxes from them, even though it was realized that most of their assets came from liquor, pigs and illegal business. 51rom a more lenient opinion on tax collection from the results of trade in objects which in the eyes of Sharia are prohibited, more South African Muslim economists finally have the idea of not taking taxes from there.Either the Messenger of Allah or the Companions continued to take taxes from the infidels whose livelihoods made illegal trade in the law of Islam.Therefore, considering that this is also included in the public interest, again the South Kalimantan Muslim 50 Departemen Agama RI, Alquran Dan Terjemahannya.p. 116. 51Musthafa Al-'Adawy, Fiqh Akhlak, ed.Salim Bazemool and Taufik Damas (Jakarta: Qisthi Press, 2005).p. 80. economists consider the greater benefit that will result from this tax amnesty policy.
In a more positive view, tax amnesty gives big hopes for increasing tax sector revenues and increasing the number of taxpayers and increasing taxpayer compliance.Parties who have been stowaways of development or parties who have enjoyed the results of development, but have not provided tax payments properly, will be moved to immediately implement pending obligations.Furthermore, determining who is eligible to join this program is important to be specifically determined so that there will be no dispute behind the day, especially regarding who is entitled and not entitled to amnesty.More important than that is to avoid "free riders" from this policy.52

In accordance with Law Number 11 of 2016 concerning Tax Amnesty, if in the event that the Taxpayer has participated in the tax amnesty program and has obtained a Certificate then found data and / or information regarding the assets that have not been or are not disclosed in the Statement, the property is considered as additional income received or obtained by the Taxpayer when it is found no later than 3 (three) years after the Act comes into force.Then the assets will be subject to additional tax administration fine in the form of an increase of 200% (two hundred percent) of income tax that is not or less paid.This means that the fine given are double the amount of income tax that is not or less paid.
Regarding this, the Muslim economists of South Kalimantan have different views.Fatrya Putra said, "Given the opportunity to be used as a fine of 200% (two hundred percent) is something natural.If the fine are not too heavy, then people think they don't have to report their assets and do not want to participate in tax amnesty."Likewise with Mahmud who argued, "tax amnesty is not new in Indonesia, but why failed?Because the sanctions are not implemented properly.Determination of the 200% fine, so that it can run well.This fine is so that there is compliance and effectiveness of the law." 53n line with the thoughts of Fatrya and Mahmud, Noval said, "the threat of 200% (two hundred percent) is not a problem, a fine or a good penalty so that the obedient Taxpayer reports correctly his wealth report." 54Agreeing with that Muhaimin argued, "The fine are legitimate, the rules are the government, whatever the penalty are, the tools are the Law." 55Likewise Lutpi, who views this as for the policy 53 Interview with Mahmud Yusuf. 54Interview with Nofal. 55Interview with Muhaimin.
to run as expected, he said, "the other aim of this enormous penalty is to threaten not to play around in this policy, so that the Taxpayer is afraid and reports correctly and indeed must report (property)." 56his corresponds to the example of the story told by Al-Ghazali about some of the ulamas in the book Imam Shatibi, that at that time there was one of the sultans (who at that time ruled), then the sultan asked about his messing around during the day of Ramadan.The legal decision is that the sultan must fast two months in a row.When the sultan came out there were some jurists who followed him to ask again the legal decision.They say, "People who are able to free slaves, how can they move to a fine of fasting, even though fasting is a difficult job, while the sultan has countless slaves".The cleric then said to them, "if I tell him" you must release slaves ", then he will underestimate that and he will free the slaves continuously.The fine of freeing slaves will not deter him, but he will be deterred by fasting two months in a row." 57ikewise with the opinion of Khulafaurrasyidin who decided to give fines to workers.Ali r.a.said, "it will not be good for humans but with things like that".If there are no fines on them, even though it is needed, it will cause two things; 1) there is no production at all and 2) assets will 56 Interview with Lutpi Sahal. 57Asy-Syatibi, Al-`i'tishâM.h.600.Asy-Syatibi, Al-`i'tishâm Juz  3. p. 11.  disappear and there will be no safeguards so that treason is possible.So the fine is a maslahah.This is the meaning of the words of Ali r.a.that.Imam Syatibi said that we cannot say that this is actually part of the damage, which is to give a fine to an innocent person, because it is possible that he is not destructive or negligent, so this is the wrong type of treatment (giving a fine).Because according to him, if there is a clash between maslahat and mudharat, then you should see the difference. 58n line with the ulama's decision, a large fine is solely for the effectiveness of the policy, so that the government program runs well and the Taxpayer follows in compliance with the tax amnesty activities.Because the sentence should prevent everyone from doing evil before the crime occurs.And if the crime has occurred then the sentence should educate the criminal and prevent others from doing the same thing and take the means.Based on this, it is in accordance with the expressions of scholars about punishment:‫بعده‬ ‫اجر‬ ‫زو‬ ‫الفعل‬ ‫قبل‬ ‫انع‬ ‫مو‬ ‫إهنا‬ 59 But Hartin believes that a policy that has a sanction of 200% (two hundred percent) must first think of the small people, she said "the policy of tax amnesty which has a fine of 200% (two hundred percent) should be well socialized well to the public.I, for 58 Ibid.h.18.; Asy-Syatibi, Al I'tisham.p. 665. 59Faisar Ananda Arfa, "Denda Sebagai Alternatif Hukuman (Kajian Hukum Islam Kontemporer)," Analytica Islamica 3, no. 1 (2014): 61-72.example, a civil servant (civil servant) is of course easier because it is facilitated properly.But what about those who are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) or lower class workers?They are also affected by tax amnesty (sanctions of two hundred percent if they do not report correctly).This policy should be seen again not to distress the poor."Meanwhile Hudaya argued that the fine of 200% (two hundred percent) was excessive, he said "even though both are in the field of muamalah, because Allah regulates zakat only 2.5% then we make the rules tax higher than 2.5%.We make rules that are higher than God's rules." 60ikewise with Syahrituah who considers it will not produce something even though there is a penalty of 200% (two hundred percent) if the system of taxation and our economic system is not correct.He said, "Tax intensification and extensification, the application of tax is tightened (administrative sanctions two hundred percent).Steps like this are actually pragmatic.Not sustainable.Not yet ready for our society, this is actually for tax amnesty.The policy (tax amnesty) is of course brilliant, but not in the right system." 61 In line with that, Handry believes that his policy is theoretically good but only the problem of the running system, he said, "how is the empirical problem, that's another thing, but if it is theoretically then indeed its good." 62he opinion of the Muslim economists of South Kalimantan who consider that the fine after the tax amnesty ends is from the Al-Quran argument which is the main source of Islamic teachings, there is a verse that is referred to by scholars who do not allow fines, Q.S. Al-Baqarah/2: 188; "And do not swallow up your property among yourselves by false means, neither seek to gain access thereby to the judges, so that you may swallow up a part of the property of men wrongfully while you know". 63rom the verse they say that God forbids us to behave arbitrarily to the property of others.Among the fuqaha there are also differences of opinion about whether fines can be punished or not.Those who contend are justified, a fine is not a good way to eradicate lawlessness, because as if pushing an improper ruler to seize the property of the creator, in addition to the penalty of fine will cause compensation between the rich and poor, because the rich can pay while the poor can not. 64he heavy fine from tax amnesty policies, considered by some Muslim Economists in South Kalimantan are 62 Interview with Muhammad Handry. 63Departemen Agama RI, Alquran Dan Terjemahannya.p. 30. 64Ali Mohammad, "Tinjauan Hukum Islam Terhadap Pelaksanaan Ketentuan Denda Minimum Dan Maksimum Dari UU No. 14/1992 Di Pengadilan Negeri Surabaya" (UIN Sunan Ampel, 1994).p. 21-22 part of arbitrariness.Besides that punishment in Islam must have the principle of meeting the needs of the community and their benefit.If the public's maslahah requires that the punishment be hardened, then the punishment is hardened.But if the maslahah of the community wants to be alleviated, the punishment should be alleviated.Therefore it is not permissible to add sanctions or complicate matters, but punishment must be in accordance with the needs of the community.

Opinion of South Kalimantan
Muslim Economist regarding Taxpayers Intending to Transfer Assets into the Territory of the Republic of Indonesia.
In the tax amnesty program regulated by Law No. 11 of 2016, taxpayers who intend to transfer assets into the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, in addition to meeting administrative requirements as stated in Article 8 paragraph 3, taxpayers must also transfer assets into the territory The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and invests the Assets in the territory of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia for a minimum period of 3 (three) years.In other words, taxpayers cannot transfer their assets outside the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, for a minimum of 3 (three) years from the time they entered the tax amnesty program.
This means that the government strictly limits the movement of property from its people.Investments that must be freely carried out by each individual then intervened by the state.Looking at this regulation, South Kalimantan Muslim economists like Mahmud said, "The main objective of tax amnesty is to repatriate funds abroad, for domestic development.So there is a capitalist economic system, minimizes intervention in the economy, socialists, on the contrary, are very intervening, while in Islam private ownership is recognized, but if there is for the benefit of many people, the government may regulate it, in this case because wealth becomes mudharat if parked outside country, the government issued a policy of returning Indonesian property to return to Indonesia." 65hile Fatrya views this as a very good thing for Indonesia that lacks liquidity, so that it becomes a source of funds that can drive the Indonesian economy.He said, "So for banks this is positive, there are sources of funds that can be rolled back to the community in the form of work loans.The bank must also move the economy from creative banking products so that the funds are not idle and only allowed to remain idle.Again, the point is for the public interest." 66This view is accompanied by Noval's opinion, "the aim is to increase the economy and 65 Interview with Mahmud Yusuf. 66Interview with Fatrya Putra.increase wealth in the country.I think the government's focus now is to return funds even though they will be withdrawn after 3 (three) years." 67ot seeing a period of 3 (three) years as one so that property flows from abroad to the country as part of the interests of domestic liquidity, Syahrituah considers that this includes political economy where people and groups with economic interests the same has used politics to influence changes that benefit their interests.Syahrituah said, "If it's just the economy, that's a 'what', but if included anyone benefits, that's a 'who', a 'who' means including political economy." 68In this case, according to him, the state does not benefit more than people who take greater profits from this regulation.Agreeing with Syahrituah, Hudaya also viewed that even though the funds returned to the country had to settle for 3 (three) years in Indonesia according to him the country benefited only a little.They assume that legal withdrawal in the decision of funds that enter the country cannot be transferred abroad is not for the public interest but the interests of a certain number of people.
Interrupting this thought, Handry responded, "What is expected from the money coming back into Indonesia is so that interest rates go down and investment will rise, because of high liquidity.We want a lot of investment, In addition, in the Islamic economic system, as already said by several Muslim economists in South Kalimantan, there is the ability of intervention from the government in the economic field if it is related to the livelihood of many people.between the Muhajirin people who had left their property in Mecca and fled to bring their religion to Medina, with the Ansar people who had possessions. 78his was done by the Prophet in the framework of community life which cannot be separated from the responsibility of the government in controlling and prospering the community.The responsibility of the government in the perspective of Islam has broad flexibility based on the premise that Islam aims to prosper the general public, so that the state in the perspective of Islam can define any function to achieve these goals. 79hereas in terms of achieving the target of increasing domestic liquidity, improving the Rupiah exchange rate, reducing interest rates, and increasing investment -which is the goal of the tax amnesty policy by transferring assets from abroad to the country, according to Muslim economists in South Kalimantan, the country has done its function well and the policy is not at all contrary to the Islamic economic system.This is in line with Sidiqi's thought which classifies the function of the state in Islamic perspective regarding the derivative function of shari'ah based on ijtihad according to social and economic conditions at a certain time which includes 6 functions; a) environmental protection, b) provision of means of Muhammad bin Ismail Al Bukhari, Shahih Bukhari (Beirut:  Dar Ibn Katsir, n.d.).p. 163.; Muslim bin al Hajjaj bin Muslim bin Kausyaz al-Qusyairi An-Naisaburi, Shahih Muslim (Dar Al Mughni, 1998) p. 514; Muhammad bin Isa At-Tirmidzi, Sunan Tirmidzi (Riyadh: Maktabatu Al Ma'arif, n.d.) p. 539.; Abu Abdurrahman Ahmad bin Syua'ib bin Ali Annasai, Mukhtabar Min Sunan Nasa'i (Riyadh: International Ideas Home, n.d.).p. 545.
According to Islam, the state has the right to intervene in economic activities carried out by individuals, both to supervise activities and to regulate or carry out various types of economic activities that cannot be carried out by individuals.Although the involvement of the state in economic activities at the beginning of Islam was still lacking due to the simplicity of economic activities at that time.But there are several examples of how to apply to the first Islamic country about the state's interference in economic activities that can be found.One example is the government's interference in returning the distribution of wealth to achieve economic balance among individuals in society.This is what the Messenger of Allah did when he distributed the fa'i (spoils without war) of the Banu Nadir to the Muhajirins only, not to the Ansar, except for two indigent people.He did this to establish a balance Republik Indonesia Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 Tentang Pengampunan Pajak" (2016).p. 3.
