JAKARTA - The government is targeting tax revenues by 2025 of IDR 2,189.3 trillion, an increase of 13.9 percent compared to 2024.

Expert Staff to the Minister of Finance for Tax Supervision of the Ministry of Finance, Nufransa Wira Sakti, said that the target for tax revenue by 2025 has set a new record.

Therefore, said Nufransa, the need for a good quality of the tax system not only depends on the right policies of the government, but also in terms of increasing taxpayer compliance.

"Next year we have set a new record because it is targeted to reach more than IDR 2,000 trillion. Therefore, the quality of a good tax system does not only depend on the right policies from the government, but also on the participation of accountants and other professionals in ensuring high tax compliance," he said at an online Tax Policy Direction event in the Red and White Cabinet Government Era, Tuesday, November 12.

Nufransa added that currently Indonesia is experiencing challenges in collecting tax revenues, namely the tax ratio or Indonesia's relatively low tax ratio compared to neighboring countries.

However, in line with the dynamics of the global and domestic economy, Nufransyah emphasized that the government will work hard to ensure a more efficient, fair and transparent tax system.

"The role of accountants is also very strategic, both in accompanying taxpayers to fulfill their obligations properly, as well as in contributing to improving tax policies," he said.

Nufransa explained that next year's tax revenue target will be one of the main supporters of the Asta Cita mission, namely under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto.

The Asta Cita mission is reflected in the composition of the structure of the Ministry/Institution which is regulated through Presidential Decree Number 139 of 2024. concerning the Arrangement of Tasks and Functions of the Ministry of State of the Red and White Cabinet for the Period of 2024-2029.

Nufransa conveyed that with the formation of new ministries and institutions, it was certain that the government's budget needs would increase to support national development priorities.

"There, there are many new ministries and institutions, of course, each of the new ministries and institutions requires additional costs and additional budgets for each unit," he explained.
