Tax revenues from the digital economy sector have continued to grow throughout this year. According to data from the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) as of October 31, 2025, total tax inflows reached Rp43.75 trillion, with crypto assets contributing Rp1.76 trillion.

Rosmauli, Director of Dissemination, Services, and Public Relations at DJP, stated that the crypto tax contribution was recorded over four reporting years. In 2022 it amounted to Rp246.45 billion, then declined to Rp220.83 billion in 2023. In 2024 it increased to Rp620.4 billion, and from January to October 2025 it reached Rp675.6 billion. The total comprises Rp889.52 billion from Income Tax Article 22 and Rp873.76 billion from domestic VAT.

“The realization of Rp43.75 trillion confirms that the digital economy has become a major driver of state revenue,” Rosmauli said in an official statement on Thursday (December 4, 2025).

Overall, the largest portion of digital tax revenues is still contributed by VAT on PMSE transactions at Rp33.88 trillion, followed by fintech taxes of Rp4.19 trillion, and Rp3.92 trillion collected through the Government Procurement Information System (SIPP). The government reiterated its commitment to improving the digital taxation framework to make it simpler and fairer.

Previously, the government also reported that crypto tax revenues had reached Rp1.71 trillion as of September 2025, reflecting an upward trend since crypto taxation was first introduced in 2022.

National Crypto Tax Reform

Starting August 1, 2025, the government implemented major changes to the taxation scheme for crypto assets through Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 50/2025, which governs VAT and income tax on crypto transactions.

Under the new rules, VAT on crypto transactions is eliminated. In exchange, the income tax rate on earnings from crypto transactions is increased and will be fully applied in the 2026 tax year.

PMK 50/2025 stipulates that any party earning income from crypto-related activities is subject to Income Tax Article 22 at a rate of 0.21%. This applies to crypto sellers, electronic trading operators, and crypto miners.

The new rate is more than double the previous rate under PMK 68/2022, which set a 0.1% tax for transactions on platforms licensed by Bappebti.

This policy forms part of the transition of crypto assets in Indonesia from being treated as commodities to recognized digital financial instruments, aligning with the shift of regulatory authority from Bappebti to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) as of January 2025.
