In a landmark move to support micro and small- and medium enterprises (UMKM), the DJP, in coordination with the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, has launched a targeted tax holiday scheme effective 1 August 2026. The policy provides a full 12-month corporate income tax exemption for qualifying UMKM with annual gross revenue not exceeding IDR 4.8 billion, provided they maintain proper accounting records and submit quarterly e-filing declarations. The initiative aims to stimulate job creation, formalization of the digital creative sector, and increased participation in national supply chains. Complementary regulations under Permen-Kepmen 47/2026 simplify VAT registration thresholds, allowing UMKM with turnover below IDR 800 million to operate under a simplified tax regime without mandatory monthly VAT returns.
Key Takeaways
- Eligibility and Revenue Ceiling: Enterprises must verify annual revenue does not surpass the IDR 4.8 billion threshold and register with the DJP’s UMKM desk to access the tax holiday benefits.
- Compliance Simplification: Quarterly electronic filing replaces cumbersome monthly obligations, reducing administrative burden and encouraging formal registration among informal micro-businesses.
- Sector-Specific Incentives: Priority sectors include digital creative industries, handicrafts, and agro-processing, with additional accelerated depreciation allowances for equipment investments made during the holiday period.
