Lhokseumawe — The Department of Business at Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe (PNL), in collaboration with the Aceh Regional Office of the Direktorat Jenderal Pajak (DJP), successfully organized a practitioner lecture titled "Building a Strong Economy: The Role of the State Budget (APBN) and Taxes in Facing Global Challenges”. The event was held at the Technopreneurship Development Center (TDC) and aimed to deepen students’ understanding of national fiscal mechanisms in the context of global economic uncertainty.

 The program featured Mr. Paryan, Head of the DJP Aceh Regional Office, as the keynote speaker. His presence also marked the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between the Department of Business and DJP Aceh, establishing a formal partnership in the areas of tax education, research collaboration, and public outreach.

 

 The event was attended by members of the institute’s leadership, faculty, student tax volunteers, and invited guests. Representing the Director of PNL, Mr. Zamzami, Vice Director for Finance and General Affairs, delivered opening remarks emphasizing the strategic significance of the institution’s Tax Center.

 

 “We deeply value the collaboration with DJP Aceh. The Tax Center at PNL is expected to serve not only as a platform for student learning but also as a resource hub for advancing fiscal literacy within the academic community and beyond”, he stated.

 

 Ms. Diana, Head of the Business Department, highlighted that the lecture is part of PNL’s practitioner-based learning framework, which integrates academic instruction with industry-relevant experience to meet the dynamic demands of today’s professional environment.

 

 “We encourage our students to engage actively in practitioner lectures such as this, as they provide an excellent opportunity to gain insights into real-world policy implementation and current developments in taxation,” she added.

 

Mr. Anhar Firdaus, Head of the Bachelor of Applied Accounting (Public Sector) Study Program, explained that the lecture was specifically targeted at first-year students and aligned with the "Taxation and Regional Retribution" course.

 

 During his lecture, Mr. Paryan outlined the crucial role of taxation in financing the State Budget (APBN), noting that over 70% of Indonesia’s revenue is derived from taxes. He underscored the importance of early tax awareness among students to prepare them as responsible future contributors to national development.

 

“Today’s students represent the future of Indonesia’s Golden Generation in 2045. Understanding and fulfilling tax obligations is more than a legal requirement — it is a meaningful contribution to building a just and prosperous nation”, he said.

Mr. Paryan also encouraged students to take an active role in becoming informed, socially responsible citizens who understand the fiscal foundations of government policy.

 

The lecture concluded with a vibrant question-and-answer session. Students engaged critically with topics such as fiscal equity, the digitalization of tax services, and the optimization of regional tax potential in Aceh.

In his closing remarks, Mr. Paryan expressed optimism that the PNL Tax Center would evolve into a key academic partner for DJP in fostering a tax-aware generation.

“We envision the Tax Center at Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe as a vital bridge between students and the tax authority, helping to cultivate greater public awareness and voluntary tax compliance,” he concluded.

The event concluded with the exchange of tokens of appreciation and a group photo, symbolizing the shared commitment between vocational higher education and fiscal institutions in promoting a sustainable and inclusive economic future for Indonesia.
