TASIKMALAYA, Thecuy.com – Rencana menaikkan retribusi for traditional market stalls in Tasikmalaya City by 25 % has not yet fully secured approval from traders.
Even though traders say they are ready to accept the proposal from Tasikmalaya City Government (Pemkot), they ask that any increase be paired with better services and clearer use of the collected funds.
The head of the Tasikmalaya Market Traders Association (Hipatas), H Jahid, said that during the latest meeting at Tasikmalaya City Hall, the local government together with relevant agencies proposed a 25 % increase in the market stall levy. Nevertheless, this figure was still seen as burdensome for traders.
He added that Hipatas had previously suggested a 10 % increase.
Ironical conditions: people living behind Tasikmalaya City Hall confront clean water scarcity. Tasikmalaya urges santri to master technology and innovation.
The proposal was made considering traders’ capacity to meet their levy obligations while demands grow for better management of traditional markets.
“The city government and the relevant agency are requesting a 25 % hike. We are somewhat reluctant about that. We are asking for a 10 % rise,” Jahid said on Thursday (22/10/2026).
Nevertheless, traders have not completely ruled out the policy of raising the tariff.
Jahid said his group could accept a 25 % increase provided certain conditions are met, especially that the collected funds be returned for market benefits.
He emphasized that the fees collected from traders should be proportionate to the quality of service they receive.
Traders should not be asked to pay more while problems with facilities and market management remain unresolved.
“We agree to accept the city government’s 25 % tariff on the condition that future revenues from the market are reinvested in market services,” he said.
Not just viral, Tasikmalaya’s youth must become agents of transformation. Creator laptops are growing more powerful! ASUS ProArt P14 and P16 featuring Nvidia RTX Spark have officially launched.
Jahid hopes that at least 70 % of the collected levies can be reinvested in market operational needs and services.
In this way, the rate increase will not only add to traders’ burden but also deliver tangible improvements.
For traders, the issue goes beyond just the amount of the tariff they must pay.
Certainty of benefits from the fees is also a demand. Raising rates is relatively simple, but ensuring markets become better organized and comfortable requires genuine commitment.
On the other hand, Jahid believes the size of the increase must still consider traders’ rational capacity.
He noted that an increase of around 20 % would still be considered reasonable by traders.
