Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, A number of night entertainment venues (THM) in Karawang Regency, West Java, are suspected of having been operating for years without official permits. Apart from that, the place of business has not been registered as a regional taxpayer, so it does not contribute to local Original Revenue (PAD).The Head of Regional Legislation Enforcement of the Karawang Satpol PP, Da Prasetya Wirabrata, stated that his party would immediately summon THM business actors suspected of committing violations. This firm step was taken after joint officers carried out unannounced inspections (sidak) and found various regulatory discrepancies in the field.Based on the data collected, several nightlife venues that were indicated to have committed violations include Sultan Reborn, Tropical Resto Karaoke & Bar, and D'tipsy Cafe & Resto which serves karaoke and clubbing. Apart from that, there are the names Brotherhood Cafe and New Rich Cafe & Bar in the list of findings.
Da Prasetya explained that most of the violating THMs operated in shophouses. In fact, in accordance with spatial planning regulations, business actors should adjust the function or purpose of the building first before taking care of further permits, such as bar permits and alcoholic beverage permits."The building's purpose must be changed to a bar, not a shophouse. Only then can you take care of alcoholic beverage permits and other permits," said Da Prasetya in Karawang, Saturday.On the other hand, records from the Karawang Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) show that these entertainment venues have not been registered as taxpayers. area. As a result, THM's operations over the years have not made a real contribution to local revenue in Karawang Regency.A similar thing was also conveyed by the Karawang Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service (DPMPTSP). Although several entrepreneurs have entered restaurant and bar permit data into the system, the administration has not been completed in accordance with applicable regulations. Until now, other important permits such as Building Approval (PBG) and alcoholic beverage permits have not been obtained.
