Key Summary:

  • Proposed VAT cut under review to revive purchasing power
  • Lower tax could boost economic growth through consumption
  • Fiscal space tightens, demanding stronger tax compliance

The Indonesian Finance Minister, Purbaya Sadewa, stated that the government is assessing the possibility of reducing the Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate to accelerate household consumption and strengthen purchasing power.


What’s the headline? There is no timeline yet for when the VAT reduction may take place, and the review will be conducted prudently based on the final 2025 budget condition.
