World Bank Urges Indonesia to Lower VAT Threshold and Cut Exemptions

  • The World Bank recommends lowering Indonesia’s taxable person (PKP) threshold from IDR 4.8 billion to IDR 500 million.
  • It says the current VAT registration threshold is unusually high, disrupts the VAT credit chain, and encourages businesses to split operations to avoid compliance.
  • The Bank also advises removing various VAT exemptions to simplify the system, broaden the tax base, and improve compliance.
  • Together, these changes could raise additional tax revenue worth about 0.5% of GDP.
