Freeport Crisis Response: Tax Office Tightens Mining Oversight and Prepares 100% VAT DTP for Property
Indonesia’s economic landscape is marked by the government’s dual efforts: tightening fiscal oversight in key sectors while simultaneously delivering massive stimulus to the property sector. Amid the operational crisis shaking Freeport Indonesia’s mining operations and the global copper market, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has ramped up oversight of mining companies and reinforced tax transparency. These measures extend beyond natural resources, reaching into digital transactions, where QRIS and crypto data will now be exchanged with other countries—demonstrating the government’s firm commitment to optimizing revenue and preventing tax avoidance.


The Indonesian government is implementing comprehensive fiscal tightening, focusing on intensive oversight in the natural resource and digital sectors. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has intensified monitoring of mining companies and is reviewing their licensing requirements to ensure tax obligations are met and state revenues from natural resources are maximized. This comes in the wake of the crisis at Freeport Indonesia’s mine, which has rattled the global copper market.


In the digital sector, DGT is also strengthening tax surveillance, with VAT collection from digital transactions reaching IDR 3.18 trillion as of August 2025. In addition, the government plans to implement automatic data exchange for QRIS transactions and crypto assets with other countries. This policy aims to prevent tax evasion and enhance transparency in the digital economy.


In contrast to the stricter tax measures in strategic sectors, the government continues to provide strong stimulus to the property sector. A series of incentives have been rolled out, including a 100% Government-Borne VAT (DTP) for properties worth up to IDR 2 billion and a 10% interest subsidy. These policies are designed to stimulate consumer purchasing power and drive economic activity in the property sector—striking a balance between fiscal tightening and real sector stimulus.


The latest policy developments highlight the government’s seriousness in optimizing state revenues while also spurring economic growth. The provision of property sector incentives reflects a push to stimulate domestic demand. At the same time, stricter oversight in strategic sectors such as mining and the digital economy aims to close potential tax loopholes. However, the Freeport mining crisis underscores the significant challenges the government faces in maintaining commodity supply stability and the performance of vital companies.


The government’s current policy direction reflects a dual approach: pro-growth and pro-oversight. Incentives in the property sector, combined with enhanced tax supervision in mining and digital industries, demonstrate efforts to balance economic growth with state revenue security. Still, risks arising from potential crises—such as the situation at Freeport—must be carefully managed to prevent disruptions to national economic stability.
