He also explained the rights of other taxpayers in court. These rights include the right to be heard, the right to defend oneself and the right to be treated fairly.
Taxpayer rights, especially in the courtroom, is one of the interesting issues that was addressed in the book titled Tax Court Institutions in Indonesia: Issues, Challenges and Reviews in Several Countries.

Yurike hopes the presence of the book can fill the void of literacy that critically addresses the fundamental issues facing tax justice institutions.
Moreover, this book should be a bridge that connects academic and practical. Indeed, this book not only covers theory, but also practice based on the author’s experience as a practitioner in a tax court.
“So this book comes as a trigger for the issues surrounding the institution of the tax court. In this book, we first describe the basic issues that still haunt the tax court in Indonesia,” Yurike said.
