Indonesian banks and platforms to collect digital taxes from 9 November
Kadin adviser Hashim Djojohadikusumo said the expansion would include state-owned and private banks, fintech firms and e-commerce platforms.
Indonesia will extend digital tax collection to banks, fintech companies and e-commerce platforms from 9 November 2026, according to Hashim Djojohadikusumo, chairman of the advisory council of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).
Speaking at the opening of Kadin’s national leadership meeting in Jakarta on 29 October 2026, Hashim said state-owned and private banks would be required to collect and remit previously uncollected taxes. He also named Shopee, Lazada and GOTO among the companies covered.
Hashim described the expansion as an initial measure by President Prabowo Subianto’s government to strengthen fiscal capacity. He claimed that almost Rp10,000 trillion in Indonesian wealth circulated in the black market beyond the reach of tax authorities, while government revenue stood at around 12 per cent of GDP.
Separately, the Directorate General of Taxes began applying Article 22 income tax collection to online merchants’ marketplace transactions on 1 October 2026. Tax director-general Bimo Wijayanto said Blibli, Tokopedia, Lazada and Shopee had been appointed as collectors.
At a media gathering in Bogor on 1 October 2026, Bimo said the marketplace policy took account of economic conditions and the administrative and systems readiness of platforms and businesses. He stressed that it did not introduce a new type of tax or alter the value-added tax rate.
