- The Indonesian government is reinstating a 100% VAT incentive for home and apartment purchases in 2026, exempting buyers from VAT on property prices up to Rp2 billion.
- The incentive applies to new, ready-for-occupancy landed houses or apartments with a maximum selling price of Rp5 billion, for purchases made between January 1 and December 31, 2026.
- Eligibility requires a notarised sale and purchase agreement, and the incentive can only be claimed once per individual.
- Both Indonesian citizens and eligible foreign nationals can benefit, but properties that previously received a VAT exemption are excluded.
- Sellers must issue tax invoices, report VAT incentive realisation, and register the official handover of the property.
