President Prabowo Subianto plans to change the Non-Taxable Income\n(PTKP) threshold in 2027. This was revealed by the Coordinating Minister\nfor Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, following a limited meeting\nwith Prabowo at the State Palace, Jakarta, on Wednesday\n(30\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe discussion today concerned the improvement of the PTKP figures,\u201d\nsaid Airlangga after the meeting.<\/p>\n
Airlangga explained that the plan for the 2027 PTKP is to adjust to\nthe development of price pressures, otherwise known as inflation.\nHowever, the specific amount is still being calculated by the Ministry\nof Finance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be adjusted according to inflation figures. We are currently\ncalculating this together with the Minister of Finance,\u201d said\nAirlangga.<\/p>\n
As is currently known, the PTKP threshold for individual taxpayers is\nrecorded at Rp 4.5 million per month, or Rp 54 million per year.<\/p>\n
Labour groups have been requesting a change to this threshold since\nlate last year to protect the purchasing power of the working class. At\nthat time, the President of the Indonesian Confederation of Trade Unions\n(KSPI), Said Iqbal, requested that the PTKP be increased from Rp 4.5\nmillion per month to Rp 7.5 million per month.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the PTKP is raised to Rp 7.5 million, all workers, including us,\nwill not be subject to tax. What is the effect? Because we are not\ntaxed, the money we hold will increase. We will certainly spend it. If\nwe spend, purchasing power rises,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/announcement-prabowo-plans-to-adjust-tax-free-income-threshold-by-2027-1790815899", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
