        "content": "<p>The government is continuing with its plan to add a new layer to the\ntobacco excise tariff structure as part of efforts to suppress the\ncirculation of illegal cigarettes in Indonesia, according to Finance\nMinister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa. The policy, however, cannot be\nimplemented in the near future because the government and the House of\nRepresentatives have been focused on discussing the state budget.\nPurbaya revealed that the Ministry of Finance had already prepared a\ndraft regulation related to the additional excise layer, but it must\nstill be discussed with the House before it can be implemented. \u201cWe were\nbusy with the state budget, still busy discussing the state budget. Now\nthat it is finished, perhaps we will go and see them later,\u201d he said\nfollowing a press conference. While confirming that discussions will\nresume soon, Purbaya declined to disclose the proposed tariff rate for\nthe new layer, stating that the figures are still part of the ongoing\ndiscussions with the House. The government had previously targeted the\nnew excise layer policy to take effect from June 2026, but the\nregulation has yet to be issued as of mid-August.<\/p>",
