Pajak Bumi Bangunan merupakan pajak yang dipungut oleh pemerintah daerah Kab/Kota yang semula dipungut oleh pemerintah pusat. Pendapatan pajak tersebut juga berpengaruh kepada pendapatan asli daerah guna mewujudkan pembangunan yang mensejahterakan. Pengalihan pemungutan yang sebelumnya dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Pusat dan sekarang dipungut oleh Pemerintah Daerah guna meningkatkan Pendapatan Asli Daerah serta memperbaiki Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah. Fungsi yang dialihkannya kewenangan tersebut kepada daerah untuk mewujudkan pelayanan masyarakat yang baik, bertransparansi, dan berakuntabilitas dalam pengelolaannya. Kenyataannya pajak bumi bangunan setelah dialihkan untuk dikelola oleh pemerintah daerah tetap harus terbagi kembali sesuai dengan Undang-Undang No 33 Tahun 2004 dan Peraturan Menteri Keuangan 34/PMK.03/2005. Efektifitas dan kontribusi pajak dapat dihitung guna mengukur seberapa efektif pajak bumi dan bangunan di kelola oleh pemerintah daerah. Strategi pemerintah daerah sangat diperlukan guna meningkatkan kesadaran patuh wajib pajak. Langkah tersebut harus bijak serta berpedoman pada hukum pajak yang berlaku pada daerah tersebut. Hukum pajak tidak terlepas dari sistem pemungutan pajak yang digunakan sesuai dengan Pasal 23 ayat (2) UUD 1945.

In this paper, the authors will analyze: (1) the details of the home ownership loan agreement in the Labuha Branch of Bank Syariah Indonesia (The Indonesian Sharia Bank/BSI) and (2) how to resolve the issue of default carried out one of the parties in the home ownership loan agreement in the Labuha Branch of BSI.

Banks like BSI can help society obtain house ownership loans amid the increasing house prices. This paper employed the normative empirical legal research method. Results showed that the agreement carried out by the debtor and creditor is already according to the applicable regulations. It was shown that there was an increase in the number of debtors who obtained home ownership loans from the Labuha Branch of BSI. In total, 83 debtors obtained such facilities from 2021 to 2023. In the case of problematic debtors, ten debtors experienced a default in the Labuha Branch of BSI from 2021 to 2023. In the case where debtors fail to carry out their obligations in paying installments or in repaying their debt, then the bank will sell the collateral object or the house.

 This paper aims to analyze the implementation of restitution right fulfillment for children as sexual crime victims in the legal area of the North Maluku High Prosecutor’s Office, Indonesia and the challenges in fulfilling these rights. Restitution is compensation given to the victim by the perpetrator of the crime or a third party and is an effort to guarantee the rights of victims. There was an issue where restitution rights were seldom strived for by law enforcers. Another problem is that society lacks knowledge of the existence of restitution rights.

Results showed that the restitution fulfillment of children as sexual crime victims in the North Maluku High Prosecutor’s Office was still suboptimum as there was only one case in 2022 where the general prosecutor strived to demand restitution. The restitution is regulated in Governmental Regulation No. 43 of 2017 and Guidelines Supreme Court No. 1 of 2021. Law enforcing apparatuses and social institutions need to organize an education program for society on restitution rights for children as sexual crime victims in the North Maluku Province to increase their awareness. The application for restitution should be strived for by law enforcers starting from the investigation stage as more time is available.
