dc.description.abstract | Indonesia’s economy remains resilient, buoyed by strong domestic demand and a recovering service sector. The current account deficit widened, driven by moderating terms of trade and cyclical factors that intensified services and income outflows. After two years of consolidation, the fiscal policy stance loosened slightly. Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia (BI) has been incrementally easing its policy stance while managing currency stability. Indonesia needs to significantly increase tax revenues to investment in human and physical capital to achieve its high-income status ambitions. The country’s public capital stock lag regional and structural peers, falling far short of advanced economies. Closing these gaps could enhance productivity growth and support the sustained 6 percent growth required to reach high-income status by 2045. However, the investment needed is substantial. A significant portion of this must be financed through increased tax revenues, as a substantial rise in debt would be risky and would violate statutory caps on deficit and debt levels. Overall, increasing tax revenues will require reforms that widen the tax base, improve tax administration, and address structural constraints to compliance. Reforms to widen the tax base could lower the registration threshold for VAT to align with middle-income country norms, which also applies to the temporary final tax for MSMEs. Meanwhile, a permanent final tax regime could be introduced for MSMEs below the threshold. Special CIT treatments, such as for construction services, publicly listed firms, and non-standard VAT exemptions, may be phased out gradually. Tax incentives need to become more strategic, time-bound, and systematically reviewed. Improving compliance requires better risk management, using high-quality third-party data and integrating fragmented government systems. Simplifying and clarifying VAT regulations can reduce disputes and administrative burdens. Lastly, addressing structural constraints involves deepening financial sector depth, which is expected to have the secondary effect of facilitating compliance through improved information and formalization. | en |
