In an effort to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of Indonesia’s tax collection regime, particularly as it relates to income taxes (Pajak Penghasilan – “PPh”), the Minister of Finance (“Minister”) has decided to introduce an applicable mechanism for the appointment of other parties as PPh collectors, as well as a set of applicable procedures for the collection, deposit and reporting of PPh collected by these other parties on income that is received or earned by domestic merchants via Electronic System-Based Trading Activities (Perdagangan Melalui Sistem Elektronik – “PMSE”) through the issuance of Regulation No. 37 of 2025 (“Regulation 37/2025”), which has been in force since 14 July 2025.[1]
