Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Significant Revenue Growth: By October 2025, Indonesia's digital economy tax revenue has reached IDR 43.75 trillion (approximately $2.6 billion), indicating rapid development in the digital economy and enhanced tax compliance, which is expected to have a profound impact across various sectors.
- Strengthened Digital Transaction Regulation: The Directorate General of Taxes has appointed collectors covering various digital transaction platforms, ensuring that transactions, including cryptocurrencies, are included in the tax system, thereby enhancing market transparency and compliance.
- Comprehensive Taxation on Crypto Assets: The new tax framework imposes comprehensive taxation on major crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which may increase compliance costs for digital platforms but also provides a stable revenue source for the government, promoting fiscal health.
- Historical Data Supports Growth: Since the introduction of PMSE VAT in 2020, Indonesia has seen consistent tax revenue growth, and experts believe that this reform will further enhance transparency in the regulatory ecosystem, although small businesses may face higher compliance burdens.
