JAKARTA - The government will increase the Value Added Tax (VAT) to 12 percent next year. The plan is that this toll rate will be implemented starting January 1, 2025.

So, will this tax increase raise the toll rate?

Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo also opened his voice. He said the government would try not to increase the toll rate next year.

"We are trying not to go up, that's it. If it can even go down, it's a pity for the people," said Dody when met by reporters at his office, Jakarta, Friday, December 27.

Dody said that his party had not yet received a proposal from a number of Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT) to increase the tariff next year.

"There are no friends from the Toll Road Business Entity (proposing an increase in tariffs)," said Dody.

According to Dody, the increase in toll rates already has criteria and time. However, he said, BUJT must be able to improve the quality of Minimum Service Standards (SPM) from the toll road if there is an increase.

"Nothing, really, (the risk of going up). But, right, there are already criteria when then friends can increase the rate," he said.

"So, when friends of the Business Entity asked for an increase (toll rate) it was accompanied by quality of service. That's roughly the case," he concluded.

For your information, the last number of toll roads made tariff adjustments in 2023, including the Jagorawi Toll Road, Sedyatmo Toll Road, Cimanggis 'Cibitung Toll Road and Kertosono Toll Road which compactly rose in August 2023.

Then, a number of sections of the Trans Java Toll Road, such as Pemalang Toll Road, Semarang To Solo 'Ngawi Toll Road and Pemalang'Batang Toll Road have also experienced an increase in tariffs in 2023.
