Indonesia’s Crypto Tax Revenue Surges in 2024
Indonesia’s crypto tax revenue rebounded to IDR 62B in 2024 after a dip, showing strong ties to market trends.
- Crypto tax revenue hit IDR 62B in 2024
- 2023 saw a sharp drop to IDR 22B
- Tax earnings depend on crypto market conditions
Indonesia’s tax authority (DJP) has shared new data showing the fluctuating nature of crypto tax revenues since the government began imposing taxes on crypto transactions in 2022. The figures show just how closely tied crypto tax income is to the market’s ups and downs.
When the tax was first introduced in 2022, the country earned IDR 24.6 billion. Surprisingly, in 2023, revenue dropped significantly to IDR 22 billion, despite more people becoming familiar with digital assets. However, in 2024, the crypto tax revenue soared to IDR 62 billion—more than doubling the 2022 figures.
Officials from DJP emphasized that the crypto tax income is not stable. It moves in sync with the wider digital asset market. When trading volumes are high and prices are bullish, tax revenue spikes. But when the market cools, tax earnings drop off.
2025 Trends So Far Show Moderate Growth
As of 2025 (year-to-date), Indonesia has collected IDR 11.5 billion in crypto taxes. While this is still a developing figure, it suggests a more moderate pace compared to 2024’s surge.
The unpredictable nature of the crypto market makes long-term revenue forecasting difficult. Officials note that while taxes from crypto can contribute significantly to state revenue, they cannot be relied on as a consistent stream.
Taxation rules in Indonesia currently apply to both value-added tax (VAT) and income tax from crypto transactions, affecting both buyers and sellers. This system was created to bring crypto activities under regulated financial frameworks.
What This Means for the Future
As Indonesia continues to refine its approach to crypto regulation and taxation, the government’s ability to respond to market shifts will be key. The data clearly shows that crypto tax revenue will rise and fall based on market momentum, making adaptability essential for policy success.
This volatility may also prompt the government to explore additional ways to stabilize earnings or diversify its digital economy tax base.
