Bali cracks down on tourism tax evaders

The Bali Provincial Tourism Office says it is performing checks at various tourist attractions to ensure travellers pay the newly instated tourism levy.

“Verification is being done to ensure compliance of foreign tourists in paying PWA, which began to be processed on February 14,” the tourism office said on Instagram. The Bali authorities have collected IDR211,8 billion (R244,7 million) since the levy was introduced.

This verification has become necessary because authorities found that about 60% of inbound tourists have failed to make the payment so far. Restrictions such as the absence of auto scanners at airports are said to be one of the root causes of payment not being made.

The tourism office posted an image of authorities checking traveller documentation at the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple.
