What's the alcohol tax on that for 2 years. That's just 1 bar!
That is
IF the alcool they sell is RESMI, snpark. I wouldn't bet on it.
A HUGE part of the imported alkohol sold in Indonesia is anything but resmi. It is original but a close inspection of the bottle would give hints that it may be not tax paid. If the pita cukai is always on the bottle, it doesn't mean it is genuine and it isn't rare that it is counterfeited. And this sometimes without the owner of the bar/restaurant/hotel knowing that some/many/all of their stock is not resmi at all, despite having the look of it.
Most non legal alkohol enter Indonesia mostly through Batam and on to
Tanjung Priok by whole containers, most often from neighboring Singapura and Malaysia, the pita cukai palsu gets attached while the containers seat in anonymous warehouses before their content being distributed all over the archipelago, often directly by official distributors or the countless website retailing alkohol at "cheap" price and preserving the identity of the seller. For local brands a locally printed pita cukai would be more than enough but most imported booze would get a higher printed quality pita cukai, often printed abroad and smuggled in Indonesia. Bea dan Cukai has seized in the past hundreds of thousands of such pita cukai representing a loss for the country of up to Rp 139.000 / pita cukai if the destination is a Golongan C bottle. And the seizure of such counterfeited pita cukai is just a "tetes" in a sea of counterfeited pita cukai which end on bottle consumed here.
For whoever knowing the real cost of a bottle of alkohol after legal tax and excises are paid, a quick look at the internet and all these websites selling miras and advertising that their bottles are all duty paid and original, it makes no doubt that this is b***s**t. Many, or to be more exact most, are selling non-ck stuff,
with the internet offering the perfect selling platform to do so.
I was in the bar of a friend not long ago. I know well the owner and ask the permission to pass behind the bar to inspect his bottles. All the bottles obviously had a pita cukai (it probably doesn't even cost 10 perak per pita cukai to get it professionally printed by millions in China -
have a look at this -) but most didn't have BPOM stickers with the BPOM number, name of importer, name of product, golongan, isian/net content of the bottle, komposisi/ingredients, name of producer). The owner knew that some of his bottle had "probably" (his word) a dubious origin, but he genuinely ignored that so many were definitely not legal despite purchasing them from official distributors. They simply abused his little knowledge on the topic while swearing that all was cool and perfectly knowing that real control are rare.
Anyway, I am not even sure that a simple petugas of the bea & cukai department really gives a s**t about it or is trained to recognize a legal stuff from a non legal one. Anytime a friend owning a bar/restaurant/resort get checked by the customs here (rare occurrence, most often routine check), and that I ask what they've checked, the answer is "documents only".
The BPOM sticker is a problem for smugglers. Basically there is too many mentions on it, all varying from one alkohol bottle to the other. The cost of counterfeiting it would probably be too high and the logistic to stick it to each bottle a pain in the bum. Smugglers do that for the money and limit the costs to what is visually essential for a bottle to feature behind a bar counter. And anyway, they get enough protection by paying who they have to pay to bother themselves with trivial details.
Sorry for the off topic. Each time I read about "the taxes on alkohol bringing so much money to the State" I can't refrain a smile. If you would compare it to any estimation of consumption of the country and the money it should bring, you would find out there is a really huge gap. It is widely accepted that close to three quarter of the alkohol consumed in Indonesia is just
oplosan, where the government see no money (and people risk their life drinking it), and it was admitted by the then ketua of the asosiasi pengusaha tempat hiburan a few years ago that up to 95% of the alcool sold in legit places was not resmi. It doesn't leave that many money for the state coffers.
The system just make smugglers rich and K*P*L*A of each province who perfectly know who is trafficking, rich. The State? Not so, compared to what they could levy if they could clean it.
