JAKARTA - The government noted that tax revenues from the crypto asset sector reached IDR 1.71 trillion until September 2025. This figure marks significant growth since crypto tax regulations were implemented in 2022.
Data from the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) shows a positive trend from year to year, with tax revenues from crypto amounting to IDR 246.45 billion in 2022, IDR 220.83 billion in 2023, IDR 620.4 billion in 2024, and IDR 621.3 billion as of September 2025.
The revenue composition consists of Income Tax (PPh) 22 amounting to Rp836.36 billion and Domestic Value Added Tax (VAT) of Rp872.62 billion. This figure confirms that crypto is now not only an alternative investment, but also a real source of fiscal contribution.
INDODAX, the largest crypto asset exchange in Indonesia, recorded a significant contribution to national tax revenues. The total tax deposited by INDODAX per year is as follows:
2022: VAT Rp60.04 billion, VAT Rp54.58 billion (a total of Rp114.63 billion), about 46.5 percent of the total national crypto tax
INDODAX Vice President, Antony Kusuma, emphasized that this figure is not only nominal, but a reflection of widespread crypto adoption.
The increase in crypto tax revenues and INDODAX's contribution, which is almost half of the total national crypto tax, shows the importance of domestic exchanges in Indonesia's digital ecosystem. This also reflects the level of industrial compliance with regulations," said Antony, in his statement, Thursday, November 6.
Antony added that tax regulations that are in line with digital asset characteristics encourage investor confidence while increasing healthy transaction volume.
"When the rules are clear and consistent, the crypto market becomes more transparent and sustainable," he explained.
Furthermore, Antony emphasized that crypto tax revenues can be used as an indicator of industrial legitimacy.
"The higher the contribution to the state treasury, the stronger the position of crypto as an official part of Indonesia's digital financial system," he said.
The crypto industry now has a strategic role in supporting the digital economy, as well as being a significant source of fiscal income. Antony considered that the correlation between crypto tax revenue and public adoption showed industrial power in the digital economy ecosystem.
