written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

Vivo and BP have agreed to continue discussions regarding cooperation on fuel imports, a move prompted by recent shortages at private gas stations in indonesia. The agreement follows a government offer to allow private companies to utilize PertaminaS import allocations to address depleted stock levels.

The fuel supply issue arose as consumers shifted from Pertamina stations to private retailers following allegations of corruption in oil governance.Private companies, having fatigued their annual import quotas, were unable to replenish supplies. This collaboration aims to stabilize fuel availability nationwide, impacting consumers and the broader economy. Further steps include an auction process managed by Pertamina, with a target delivery date around the third week of October, contingent on agreement from all business units (BU).

according to a statement by Roberth, the commodity procurement process will proceed with Mrs.’s approval, utilizing an auction system prioritizing cargo providers, pricing, and volume. Pertamina will announce the auction winner, followed by commercial negotiations and joint inspection. ExxonMobil is currently assessing November needs due to existing stock, while Shell awaits head office coordination.”The spirit of collaboration is based on good intentions to provide services to this community to be addressed wisely and positively,according to the direction of the government,” Roberth stated. The agreement includes confirmation of a “joint surveyor” by related private subsidiaries.

Jakarta, Indonesia ⁢- Singer Leony Vitria hartanti has ⁣sparked a public debate ⁣regarding Indonesian inheritance tax laws after voicing frustration over a 2.5%⁤ tax levied when transferring ownership of a property inherited from her father. The ⁣issue gained traction following Leony’s social ⁣media post detailing the unexpected expense, prompting widespread discussion about the ‍financial burden ‌placed on heirs.

The tax, applied to the assessed value of the house, reportedly amounts‌ to tens of millions of⁣ Indonesian Rupiah, despite Leony simply seeking to update the property’s name. this revelation comes as the Directorate⁤ General of Taxes (DGT) faces increased‍ scrutiny and public questioning ‌regarding the fairness and transparency of its inheritance tax policies. Leony’s experiance highlights a concern shared by many Indonesians – the potential for meaningful tax⁤ liabilities⁢ when inheriting assets from family members, even when no ‍actual ⁤sale⁣ or financial gain occurs.

“So, such as, I want to⁣ change the‌ name‍ of ⁤the house in the name of Bokap and keep his name, he has to tax the heir to pay for 2.5 percent of his home value,” Leony explained in her post, using the Indonesian term for ‌”father.” “Which is why I have to spend tens of millions of more money for ⁢the name ⁤of the door.”

Leony expressed feeling penalized despite consistently fulfilling her tax obligations, including annual property taxes. “I ⁣feel this is⁤ unfair, like this is the house when we buy we already pay taxes, every year we pay the United Nations, then now we ‍only replace the ⁤name ‌from Bokap to me, I⁤ have‍ to pay again, hit again,” she stated.

The artist’s ⁢complaint resonated ⁢with numerous social ⁣media users,many of whom shared similar experiences with inheritance taxes. The outpouring of support and questions directed towards the DGT underscores a need for greater clarity and potential reform of inheritance tax regulations in Indonesia. The DGT has not yet issued a formal response to Leony’s concerns or the broader public discussion.

Mexico‘s Supreme Court Enters ‌new Era with Ministerial Shifts

Mexico’s supreme‍ Court of Justice ⁣of the Nation (SCJN) has begun a new chapter with the recent appointment ‌of new ministers,magistrates,and federal⁤ judges,effective September. the changes ‍mark the start of what is being referred to as the court’s “second tenth” chronological⁤ stage, building upon precedents⁤ established before and after the 1917 ‌Constitution.

The ⁢SCJN’s rulings carry significant weight, as ‌its interpretations of the law – and‌ therefore, the Magna (presumably ‌referring to the Constitution) – are mandatory for other courts throughout the Mexican Republic. This precedent-setting role is notably ⁣crucial as‍ the new judicial‌ appointees take charge.

the author, a lawyer, activist, and criminal sciences teacher,‍ acknowledges that⁣ while opinions may differ on individual resolutions, many judges⁤ have served‍ with integrity. Though,they also note the ‍potential for others to‍ leave their ‍positions with diminished reputations.

The responsibility of upholding the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States now falls to‍ these⁢ new actors within the ⁣ Address of Justice. The piece concludes with a quote from Roman jurisconsult ⁣ulpian:‌ “Justitia est constans ⁣et perpetua voluntas ius suum cuique tribuendi” – “Justice is the constant and perpetual will ⁣to give each one his due.” ⁤(Moranche Pocaterra, Mariana, compendium ⁤of Roman Law, Mexico, Mexico Metropolitan University, 2017, p.13). The author,‍ Ulrich Richter, emphasizes the enduring need to build ⁢strong ⁣institutions and act responsibly for ⁢the benefit of Mexico.
