Indonesian Government Highlights Fair Taxation of Crypto Assets

The Indonesian government emphasizes the importance of a fair taxation system to support the growth of the digital economy and the crypto asset industry. Deputy Minister of Finance Nurkholisoh Ibnu Aman stated that technological developments have changed the way transactions are conducted, including cross-border digital services without physical presence in Indonesia. Fairness in taxation remains a primary focus. Data from the Ministry of Finance shows that the number of digital asset consumer accounts in Indonesia has reached over 23 million as of August 2026. In response to this development, the government has established three taxation focuses for crypto trading: first, to encourage fair tax regulations and simplify compliance; second, to clarify the roles and accountability among institutions in the financial sector; third, to strengthen cooperation and cross-border tax information exchange through the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) developed by the OECD. CARF aims to enhance the transparency of crypto asset taxation through reporting and information exchange between tax authorities. However, the government has not detailed the implementation schedule of CARF in Indonesia or announced any changes to crypto tax rates.
