Indonesia's Tax Authority Cracks Down on Delinquent Conglomerates

Aggressive Tax Collection Strategy

Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) is maintaining its aggressive stance on tax collection, particularly targeting large conglomerates with outstanding tax arrears. The agency has confirmed that it will continue its active collection efforts against 35 major delinquent taxpayers in 2026 ¹

. This continuation of rigorous tax enforcement demonstrates the government's commitment to securing state revenue through various means.

Significant Revenue Collection Achieved

By December 12, 2025, the Large Tax Office (Kanwil LTO) under the DJP had successfully collected Rp 4.12 trillion in tax revenue. This achievement was the result of intensified tax collection efforts focusing on large taxpayers with significant arrears ²

. The collection efforts included various enforcement measures designed to encourage compliance and secure outstanding payments.

Enforcement Actions Escalated

The DJP has not hesitated to take decisive enforcement actions against delinquent taxpayers. By December 12, 2025, the agency had carried out asset seizures against multiple defaulting taxpayers, totaling 35 assets. These seized assets included 1 land parcel, 3 four-wheeled vehicles, 2 units of equipment/machinery, and 29 bank accounts ³

.

Bank Account Blocking Campaign

In a coordinated effort to enforce tax compliance, the DJP organized a 'Simultaneous Bank Account Blocking Week' from November 12 to 21, 2025. During this period, the agency successfully blocked 33 bank accounts belonging to 17 delinquent taxpayers across four Large Taxpayer Offices ⁴

. This action demonstrated the tax authority's willingness to use various enforcement tools to secure tax revenues.

Implications for Tax Compliance

The DJP's aggressive enforcement strategy is likely to have a significant impact on tax compliance among Indonesian corporations, particularly large conglomerates. The combination of asset seizures, account blocking, and substantial revenue collection sends a strong message about the consequences of tax delinquency. As the government continues to focus on revenue collection, taxpayers are expected to prioritize compliance to avoid similar enforcement actions.
