JAKARTA - Little by little, digital products have added to the coffers of tax revenue for the state. As of January 31, the value has reached IDR 5.03 trillion.

The Expert Staff of the Minister of Finance for Tax Compliance, Yon Arsal, said that the digital product tax comes from the Value Added Tax (VAT) of Trade Through Electronic Systems (PMSE).

"Since its implementation in 2020 until now, we have appointed 98 PMSEs in stages and we will evaluate them continuously," said Yon at the 2022 HPN National Convention as reported by Antara, Monday, February 7.

He detailed the PMSE VAT deposit consisting of IDR 731.4 billion in 2020, IDR 3.9 trillion in 2021, and IDR 397.2 billion in January 2022.

Yon emphasized that he will continue to comb through the various PMSE transactions that are carried out so that they can be taxed according to applicable regulations. "This principle is not just pursuing revenue, but providing a level playing field for all types of transactions or players in this environment," he said.

Thus, there is a principle of justice between conventional, digital, domestic and foreign traders who sell their products in Indonesia.

PMSE VAT collection has been carried out since 2020 which is regulated in Article 6 Paragraph 1 of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (PERPPU) Number 1 of 2020.

As many as 98 PMSEs have been appointed, including 52 appointments, three corrections, and one PMSE revocation in 2020, 43 appointments, and 12 corrections in 2021, and four appointments and two corrections in January 2022.
