Industrial Gas Price Calculate PNBP

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Darmin Nasution said the decline in gas prices for the industry will be done by considering the reduction of Non-Tax State Revenues (PNBP) from the gas sector.

"The decline can only be done by reducing PNBP," said Darmin after chairing a coordination meeting on gas prices for

industry.

He said the Ministry of Industry is still calculating the potential decrease of non-tax revenues so that industrial gas price adjustment does not affect the state revenue.

"If the benefit is lowered, how much? do not we do things that benefit is smaller, "he said

Previously, the government issued a package of economic policy volume III in May 2016, which states the decline in gas prices for industry. The government then issued Presidential Regulation no. 40/2016 on the determination of natural gas price is not higher than US $ 6 per mmbtu.

Determination of natural gas price for industrial users of fertilizer, petrochemical, oleochemical, steel, ceramics, glass, and gloves. However, until now three industries that have received natural gas price relief, namely fertilizer, steel, and petrochemical industries.

Deputy Minister of EMR Arcandra Tahar added that the downside focus of the PNBP is also considering reducing costs in the upstream and downstream sectors of the gas. However, it guarantees a decrease of non-tax revenues from the gas sector and the figures are still recalculated by the Ministry of Industry.

Harga Gas Industri Perhitungkan PNBP

Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian Darmin Nasution mengatakan penurunan harga gas untuk industri akan dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan pengurangan Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak (PNBP) dari sektor gas.

“Penurunan hanya bisa dilakukan dengan mengurangi PNBP,” ujar Darmin seusai memimpin rapat koordinasi mengenai harga gas untuk

industri. 

Ia mengatakan Kementerian Perindustrian masih menghitung potensi penurunan PNBP agar penyesuaian harga gas industri tidak terlalu memegaruhi penerimaan negara. 

“Jika diturunkan benefit-nya,  berapa? jangan kita lakukan hal yang benefit-nya lebih kecil,” ujarnya 

Sebelumnya, pemerintah menarbitkan paket kebijakan ekonomi jilid III pada Mei 2016, yang menyatakan penurunan harga gas untuk industri. Pemerintah lalu mengeluarkan Peraturan Presiden No. 40/2016 tentang penetapan harga gas bumi tidak lebih tinggi dari US$ 6 per mmbtu. 

Penetapan harga gas bumi itu untuk pengguna industri pupuk, petrokimia, oleochemical, baja, keramik, kaca, dan sarung tangan. Namun, hingga kini haru tiga industri yang mendapat keringanan harga gas bumi, yaitu industri pupuk, baja, dan petrokimia.

Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar menambahkan fokus penurunan PNBP ini juga mempertimbangkan penurunan biaya di hulu dan hilir sektor gas. Namun, ia menjamin penurunan PNBP dari sektor gas tidak terlalu banyak dan angkanya masih dihitung ulang oleh Kementerian Perindustrian.
