Export tax or duty out which plan will be applied for mining commodities should use a progressive system. The system is more dynamic and just because it follows the selling price in the market. Progressive system has also been tested in coconut oil and cocoa.

Director General of Foreign Trade Ministry of Commerce Deddy Saleh was speaking in Jakarta, Wednesday (18/04/2012).

"The implementation of the urgent duty out to do. Consideration, to prevent over-exploitation of the export ban imposed before mine raw. Another consideration is to encourage hilirisasi mining industry," he said.

According to him, a progressive tax system is more appropriate for mining commodities. The system has also been used for oil palm and cocoa. Both commodities were subject to tax on a maximum of 25 percent. Customs set out progressively each month following the benchmark export price changes. In my opinion, the system progressively more fit, "said Deddy.

His department had not received the amount of tax on the proposal of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).
