KEJAKSAAN AGUNG - JAKARTA. Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (AGO) has accused two tax officers of accepting bribes from listed pulp producer Toba Pulp Lestari to facilitate under-invoicing, causing estimated state losses of around 2 trillion rupiah (US$ 111.95 million), an official said.
The alleged under-invoicing took place between 2008 and 2025, Saiful Bahri Siregar, director of investigations at the AGO's special crimes unit, told reporters late on Wednesday.
Toba Pulp Lestari, which is involved in the pulp processing and forestry industry, allegedly exported pulp products to an affiliate from 2008 using a Harmonised System code with a lower value. This "resulted in a reduction in the corporate tax revenue that the state should have received," Siregar said.

Prosecutors have not named the company as a suspect.
The two suspects, identified only by the initials BP and SR, were tax audit supervisors for the company between 2020 and 2024, Siregar added.
"The suspects, acting unlawfully, failed to carry out their duties and functions as supervisors... And the suspects have received a certain amount of money from the company," he said.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The initial estimate of state losses was 2 trillion rupiah, Siregar said.
