Indonesia's Tax Authority Achieves Significant Collections from Large Tax Delinquents

Aggressive Tax Collection Efforts Yield Results

Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance reported collecting Rp13.1 trillion from 124 of the top 200 tax delinquents in 2025. This achievement comes as part of the government's intensified efforts to improve tax compliance and revenue collection. The total amount of tax arrears from these large delinquents stands at Rp60 trillion, indicating the scale of the challenge faced by tax authorities ¹

Continued Enforcement and Collection Strategies

DJP Director General Bimo Wijayanto emphasized that the tax authority will continue its aggressive collection efforts in 2026. For tax arrears that have become legally binding, DJP will pursue active collection measures including legal actions, forced collection, account blocking, and asset seizure. For cases that are still under legal review, the authority will continue legal processes including appeals and reviews at the tax court and Supreme Court ¹

Challenges in Tax Collection from Large Delinquents

The collection process has not been without challenges. Some large taxpayers have requested to pay their arrears in installments, complicating the collection process. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa previously noted the difficulties in collecting from these large delinquents, with some taxpayers opting for installment plans while others remain under active pursuit ¹
