UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 The Indonesian government\u2019s decision to increase taxes on e-commerce businesses has sparked mixed reactions from the public. In response, Wahyu Wisnu Wardana, S.E., M.Sc., a lecturer in Development Economics at 51动漫<\/a>\u2019s Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), stated that the policy is a reasonable move to boost state revenue.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe government functions much like a household\u2014it needs to generate income to fund public spending, ranging from education and healthcare to infrastructure and national strategic programs. Given the rising government expenditure, this tax adjustment in the e-commerce sector is to be expected,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n

Wardana emphasized that the policy also reflects a commitment to fairness. Offline businesses have long been taxed, while many online sellers remain outside the national tax framework. He pointed to examples in other ASEAN countries\u2014such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia\u2014that have already implemented e-commerce taxation. \u201cThis underscores the principle that all businesses operating under Indonesia\u2019s legal jurisdiction, whether online or offline, are obligated to pay taxes,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n

Impact on MSMEs<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Wardana noted that in practice, the tax burden will likely not fall on consumers, but rather reduce the profit margins of producers. \u201cIn the highly competitive e-commerce space, even a slight price hike could push consumers to choose alternative sellers. Therefore, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are likely to absorb the additional cost by trimming their margins,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Discussing long-term effects, Wardana characterized the policy as a necessary step toward structuring Indonesia\u2019s digital economy through clearer regulation. However, he stressed that the government must also provide tangible benefits to taxpayers\u2014not merely collect revenue. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cAuthorities should offer training, business development support, and assistance in adapting business models. This way, MSMEs can see the value in the taxes they pay,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n

Recommendations for government<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Wardana also offered recommendations to improve future implementation of the e-commerce tax policy. Chief among them is the integration of e-commerce data systems, so the government is not solely reliant on self-reported information from MSMEs. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cBeyond tax collection, the government must also provide ongoing training and business mentoring as a form of reciprocal support. Fiscal policy should be executed transparently and with accountability to prevent negative perceptions among the public,\u201d he concluded. Wardana expressed hope that the e-commerce tax framework would continue to support digital economic growth while strengthening the nation\u2019s revenue infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n
