INDONESIA'S government has issued new regulations aimed at tracing and taxing the wealth of taxpayers who were not pardoned in the nine-month tax amnesty that ended in March.

Around 972,000 taxpayers joined the amnesty programme and declared assets worth a total of 4,881 trillion rupiah (S$495.58 billion). About 24 per cent of that was held offshore, mostly in Singapore, and only a small percentage of it was pledged to be brought back home.
