- Indonesia has appointed OpenAI as a value-added tax (VAT) collector for digital services sold to Indonesian users.
- Two other companies, the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation and Bespin Global, were also named as new VAT collectors, while Amazon Services Europe S.a.r.l. lost its VAT collector status.
- As of November 30, 2025, 254 companies are designated as VAT collectors, but only 215 have begun collecting and remitting VAT.
- Digital service VAT has generated Rp34.54 trillion ($2.2 billion) for the state since 2020, with total digital economy tax revenue reaching Rp44.55 trillion as of November 2025.
- The move highlights Indonesia’s efforts to expand its tax base and capture revenue from the growing digital economy.
