The Daan Mogot Ring

On Tuesday three weeks ago, a woman clad in casual attire arrived at the Tebet Taxation Service Office in South Jakarta. Wearing a T-shirt and scruffy jeans, she introduced herself to the tax officers attending to her as Carolin Carolina, the director of an electronic equipment business.

The officers immediately became suspicious when Carolin said her purpose in visiting the office was to put in place arrangements for electronic tax invoice certificates, then scheduled to come into effect on July 1. "It was because she was not dressed like the boss of a company," the Directorate-General of Taxation's Director of Intelligence and Investigation Yuli Kristiyono said when recounting the incident Tuesday last week.
