KBRN, Jakarta: Reflecting the burgeoning influence of the digital era on national finances, the Indonesian government successfully amassed IDR 12.24 trillion (USD 729.5 million) in taxes from the digital economy sector between January and November 2025. 

Rosmauli, the Director of Outreach, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP), confirmed in a written statement on Monday, December 29, 2025, that this revenue was driven by Value Added Tax (VAT) on e-commerce, crypto assets, fintech lending, and government procurement systems. This achievement underscores a significant milestone, as total cumulative digital tax deposits since 2020 have now soared to IDR 44.55 trillion, proving the sector is a vital pillar for state revenue.

As quoted by Antara, the total revenue includes several key digital categories, with Value Added Tax (VAT) from electronic commerce (PMSE) contributing IDR 9.19 trillion (USD 547.6 million). Other contributions came from crypto asset taxes at IDR 719.61 billion, fintech lending taxes at IDR 1.24 trillion (USD 73.8 million), and the Government Procurement Information System (SIPP) taxes at IDR 1.09 trillion (USD 64.9 million).

Regarding the PMSE sector, the total tax deposits from 2020 through 2025 have reached a significant milestone of IDR 34.54 trillion. These funds were submitted by 215 designated electronic commerce entities out of a total of 254 companies currently appointed by the government.

The cryptocurrency sector has also shown steady growth, with total tax receipts reaching IDR 1.81 trillion from 2022 through 2025. This crypto revenue consists of IDR 932.06 billion from Income Tax (PPh) Article 22 on sales transactions and IDR 875.23 billion from domestic VAT.

In the fintech space, the total tax revenue from peer-to-peer (P2P) lending reached IDR 4.27 trillion between 2022 and 2025. This sector's revenue is derived from three types of taxes, including PPh 23 on interest received by domestic taxpayers and PPh 26 on interest received by foreign taxpayers.

Specifically, the P2P lending tax consists of IDR 1.17 trillion from domestic interest income tax, IDR 724.5 billion from foreign interest income tax, and IDR 2.37 trillion from domestic VAT. Meanwhile, the SIPP sector recorded a total revenue of IDR 3.94 trillion from 2022 to 2025, comprising PPh Article 22 and VAT.

The SIPP breakdown includes IDR 284.42 billion from Income Tax Article 22 and IDR 3.65 trillion from Value Added Tax. Consequently, the cumulative tax deposits from the entire digital economy sector reached a total of IDR 44.55 trillion as of November 30, 2025. ***
