DJP Prepared New Rules to Curb Misuse of 0.5% Final Income Tax 
Indonesia’s Tax Directorate General (DJP) is drafting a revision to PP 55/2022 after finding widespread misuse of the 0.5% final income tax scheme for UMKM, including “bouncing” (holding back revenue) and “firm splitting” by businesses exceeding the IDR 4.8 bn threshold. DJP Director General Bimo Wijayanto said the amendment will tighten eligibility under Pasal 57(1)(2) and introduce anti-avoidance rules to exclude taxpayers exploiting the facility, while the Finance Ministry also reviews cases where larger businesses intentionally split entities to retain the lower tariff.

Government Set Permanent 0% Final Income Tax for Small UMKM 
Indonesia set a permanent 0% final income tax for UMKM with annual revenue below IDR 500 mn and 0.5% for those under IDR 4.8 bn, following a decision announced by UMKM Minister Maman Abdurrahman on 17-Nov-25.

Indonesia to Impose Gold Export Duty of Up to 15% Starting 2026 
The govt. will implement a progressive gold export duty beginning 2026, with the PMK regulation now in final harmonization, according to MoF’s Febrio Kacaribu. The duty will apply to dore, granules, cast bars, and minted bars, with rates tied to global gold prices (HMA). When gold prices range from USD 2,800 to below USD 3,200/oz, the duty will be 7.5–12.5%; if prices exceed USD 3,200/oz, rates rise to 10–15%, with the highest tariff applied to dore and cast forms, and the lowest for minted bars.

Indonesia’s govt. approved the reinstatement of a coal export levy on 17-Nov-25 after Finance Minister Purbaya received support from Commission XI DPR, aiming to broaden state revenue and reinforce downstreaming and decarbonization policies.
