Government Urged to Observe Principles of Justice in Ministry of Law Tax Regulation

The Central Board of the Indonesian Notaries Association (PP-I.N.I.) has formally expressed its critical stance and objection to the issuance of Government Regulation (PP) No. 30 of 2026 on the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenues (PNBP) applicable to the Ministry of Law. This position was taken after in-depth consolidation with various organisational bodies and after gathering the aspirations of notary members from across Indonesia.

“The new regulation does not fully uphold the principles of social justice and humanity, particularly with regard to the differences in economic potential across regions,” said PP-I.N.I. Chairman Irfan Ardiansyah at a press conference held in Jakarta on Monday (27/7). PP-I.N.I. also regretted the lack of active involvement of notaries as strategic partners in the deliberation of the regulation before its enactment.

In its review, PP-I.N.I. highlighted several crucial points in PP 30 of 2026 that drew strong reactions from members, including:

In line with the tariff increase, PP-I.N.I. urged the Ministry of Law, particularly the Directorate General of General Legal Administration (Ditjen AHU), to improve service quality. One of the main demands is the optimisation of the AHU system so that it can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without operational time restrictions.

“The determination of PNBP tariffs should have been deliberated with the House of Representatives (DPR) as mandated by Articles 8 and 9 of Law No. 9 of 2018 on PNBP. Without that procedure, this regulation is considered to have a procedural defect,” explained Irfan Ardiansyah.

Based on the results of its consolidation, PP-I.N.I. agreed on three strategic steps:

PP-I.N.I. hopes the government can grant special treatment to notaries in the application of PNBP in order to guarantee smooth public services for the wider community and business actors. (H-2)
