Once again, the Indonesian government signals its intention to implement a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) excise in 2026. Although the measure has appeared consistently in annual fiscal plans, execution has historically lagged due to industry constraints.


What's the buzz? The Ministry of Finance (MoF) stated that tariff structures and thresholds are under discussion as the government seeks additional state revenues, curb sugar consumption, and reinforce broader excise compliance.
