Explanation of the Meaning of Article 1 Paragraphs (2) of the 1945 Constitution of Republic of Indonesia to the Concept of the Constitutional Conventions in the Annual Achievement Reports of State Institutions

/in /by

Amendments to Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution have changed the Indonesian state administration system, including the power and position of state institutions. This change is a new thought towards state institutions that place the People’s Consultative Assembly which was originally the highest state institution and fully implementer of people’s sovereignty. Furthermore, the people’s mandate is carried out by branches of state power or state institutions based on the Constitution and does not recognize the Supreme State Institution and all state institutions have the same position in the state administration system as executor of people’s sovereignty. This study is to find and formulate legal arguments through an analysis of the subject matter, namely the concept of constitutional conventions. The results of this study explain that Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution which has been amended gives meaning to the Indonesian state administration system, namely that it has changed the existence of state institutions as implementers of people’s sovereignty. The meaning of Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution is extended to the customary practice of state administration. Because all state institutions are executor of people’s sovereignty, all these state institutions submit annual performance reports to the people through the convention mechanism.

Legal Certainty of Income Tax Exemption on the Transfer of Rights to Land in the Sharing of Collective Integration Rights

/in /by

The transfer of property to certain heirs for the joint ownership of the object of inheritance must be transferred by way of the distribution of joint rights, which is based on the APHB. Article 4 paragraph (3) letter b of the Income Tax Law explains that the transfer due to inheritance is exempt from collecting PPh, but in its implementation it must be accompanied by a PPh SKB issued by KPP Pratama. So that in order to get the income tax exemption on the transition, the heirs must apply for the issuance of the SKB PPh to the KPP Pratama. However, the KPP Pratama often refuses the issuance of the SKB PPh, this results in the heirs having to pay PPh on the transition. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach, and legal materials are analyzed using a deductive method. The results of this study indicate that the transfer of land rights by the distribution of joint rights of inheritance should be exempted from income tax, because the distribution of joint rights is still included in the series of inheritance processes, so the transfer of income tax collection must be exempted. So that legal reform is needed to provide legal certainty in the exemption of PPh on the transition.

/in /by

Since Vietnam is integrating internationally in all aspects of social life, more and more foreigners are learning Vietnamese. However, there are still very few quantitative studies on the effective teaching and learning of Vietnamese idioms. This study aims to fill the theoretical gap and provide more evidence on the relationship between skills and effectiveness in learning Vietnamese phrases. This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey using purposeful sampling (n=100). The multivariate linear regression analysis technique is applied to prove the hypotheses. The R language is used to analyze research data. Research results show that problem-solving, general, and synthetic thinking skills have a positive and meaningful impact on the effectiveness of learning Vietnamese idioms. The results of this study continue to confirm the role of cognitive techniques in learning idioms as the results of previous studies.
