Heaptalk, Jakarta — Finance Minister Sri Mulyani has confirmed that the government will increase value-added tax (VAT) to 12% in 2025 (08/20). However, certain goods and services will not be subject to the 12% VAT, even though the rate will increase next year, based on the Harmonization of Tax Regulations Law Articles 4A and 16B and the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 116/PMK.010/2017.

“There are other fiscal instruments, such as VAT exemptions. The public assumes that all goods and services are subject to VAT. Yet, the Harmonization of Tax Regulations Law (UU HPP) clearly states that necessities, education, health, and transportation are not subject to VAT,” said Sri Mulyani in Jakarta.

The Harmonization of Tax Regulations Law Articles 4A and 16B regulate goods not subject to VAT, making them unaffected by the tax increase. Food and beverages from restaurants, hotels, food stalls, eateries, and the like, whether consumed on-site or not, catering services, local tax objects, and regional levies following relevant regulations are included. Money and gold bullion used for the national foreign exchange reserves and securities are also not subject to this new policy.
