Indonesia’s incoming president, Prabowo Subianto, is considering the possibility of reducing the corporate income tax rate from 22% to 20%, as reported by CNBC Indonesia on Sunday, citing an adviser. Prabowo, set to assume office on Oct. 20, has promised to enhance tax compliance in order to increase tax revenue to 18% of gross domestic product. One of his proposed strategies includes separating the tax and custom offices of the finance ministry to establish a state revenue agency.

According to Dradjad Wibowo, a Prabowo adviser, there is a hope to lower corporate income tax in the future if government revenue conditions allow for it. Foreign investors have expressed concerns over potential relaxation of fiscal discipline in Indonesia as Prabowo plans to expand the number of government ministries. Nonetheless, a senior aide has reassured that Prabowo will maintain the agreed spending levels for 2025 and adhere to existing budget regulations.
