- Indonesia’s Finance Ministry is considering reducing VAT to boost consumption amid declining tax collection.
- The decision depends on economic performance and revenue collection by year-end.
- Indonesia’s tax-to-GDP ratio remains low, dropping to 10.08% in 2024, with a government target to increase it to 13-14% by 2029.
- Tax collection has fallen, achieving only 62% of the annual target so far, with significant declines in corporate income tax and VAT.
- The decline in tax revenue is partly attributed to tax restitution (refunds of previously paid taxes).
