Sementara itu Menkeu Sri Mulyani Indrawati saat menyampaikan pendapat akhir pemerintah menyatakan, pihaknya memahami keberatan FPAN tentang proses pengajuan keberatan dan banding oleh wajib pajak, namun pemerintah berkeyakinan bahwa prosedur keberatan dan banding tersebut justru memberikan penguatan bagi perlindungan hak-hak wajib pajak dan lebih menjamin rasa keadilan bagi wajib pajak.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said she was fully aware of the faction's objections, adding the government was convinced that the process of filing objections and appeals over tax assessments would instead protect taxpayers' rights and ensure a sense of justice for taxpayers.
