Indonesia offers tax penalty reductions of up to 100% for some taxpayers
Indonesia’s tax authority is offering penalty reductions for some taxpayers who file or pay late.
The rules cover late annual and monthly tax returns, as well as penalties linked to the Voluntary Disclosure Program.
For certain underpaid returns for September 2026, taxpayers can get a full reduction by filing or paying from October 8 to December 31, 2026.
The reduction drops to 50% for action from January through March 2027, and to 25% from April through June 2027.
For penalties tied to the disclosure program, a full reduction depends on paying the tax owed within one month after the authority issues an underpayment assessment.
Paying within two months can qualify for a 25% reduction, and the relevant assessment must be issued between October 8, 2026, and December 31, 2027.
Taxpayers need to check which penalty applies and its deadline to know how much relief they can receive.

What people are saying
Kalau mau dapat 100%, harus melunasi pokoknya itu paling lambat satu bulan setelah surat ketetapan pajak kurang bayar terbit. Terbit 1 Januari, maka bayarnya jangan lewat dari 1 Februari. Jangan sampai nanti terbitin, duitnya belum ada
