The tax on MBLB contributes significantly to regional income, impacting local government fiscal capacity by approximately 10 percent in East Lombok Regency between 2019 and 2023.
Quantitative inferential analysis of secondary time series data from East Lombok Regency (2019–2023) demonstrates that revenues from MBLB taxation have a statistically significant impact on Original Regional Income (Pendapatan Asli Daerah), explaining about 10% of fiscal inflows. This underscores the economic relevance of MBLB sectors for sub-national government budgets and fiscal planning.
The decentralization of MBLB taxation authority to provincial governments has created challenges in standardizing price benchmarks, leading to inconsistencies in tax collection across districts.
Following the enactment of Law No. 23/2014 and subsequent regulations, price benchmarking for MBLB taxation shifted from district to provincial governments. However, incomplete implementation of single price standards has resulted in persisting heterogeneity across locales, impairing tax base uniformity and complicating fiscal administration, as documented by KPK coordination reports in North Sumatra.
Collaborative governance among multiple local government agencies enhances oversight of MBLB mining operations but remains hindered by leadership and technical expertise gaps.
Qualitative studies in Karangasem Regency reveal that inter-agency collaboration in monitoring MBLB mining improves regulatory adherence and legitimacy. However, leadership deficiencies and lack of specialized mining analysts limit full exploitation of collaborative potential, constraining environmental management and compliance enforcement despite clear procedural frameworks.
