JAKARTA. Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced that Indonesia's tax revenue reached IDR646.3 trillion during the January–April 2026 period, representing a 16.1% year-on-year increase.
The realization accounted for 27.4% of the tax revenue target set in the 2026 State Budget (APBN).
According to Purbaya, the strong performance reflects continued economic activity and the improving implementation of the Coretax System. He added that most major tax categories posted solid growth, indicating resilient household income and consumer spending.

Corporate Income Tax (CIT) and Corporate Income Tax deposits: IDR135.2 trillion

The trade sector remained the largest contributor, accounting for 24.9% of total tax revenue.
Other major contributing sectors included:
Manufacturing: 22.5%

Tax revenue generated by the four largest sectors was as follows:
Manufacturing: IDR145.3 trillion
Trade: IDR161 trillion
Construction and real estate: IDR24.2 trillion
Mining: IDR56.7 trillion
According to Purbaya, several factors supported sectoral tax revenue growth.
Tax revenue from the manufacturing sector was driven by stronger performance in the palm oil industry.
Tax revenue from the trade sector increased 16.2%, supported by wholesale fuel trading and e-commerce activities, in line with the continued rise in online shopping.
Meanwhile, tax revenue from the construction and real estate sector grew 1.3%, primarily supported by owner-occupied real estate activities.
Tax revenue from the mining sector expanded 5.4%, driven mainly by the oil and gas mining subsector.
Purbaya said the tax revenue figures contradict claims that Indonesia's economy is slowing and that household purchasing power is weakening. (KEN)
