Maxim still reviewing implementation of eight percent ride-hailing commission cap

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Maxim Indonesia has stated it is still reviewing the implementation of a policy to cut the income share taken by ride-hailing platforms from online motorcycle taxi drivers to a maximum of eight percent, as stipulated in Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 2026.

Maxim Indonesia Development Director Dirhamsyah said the company is currently conducting internal discussions and further research regarding the implementation of the policy.

“Regarding the eight percent, in line with President Prabowo’s recent directive, we are still in the discussion stage internally,” Dirhamsyah said when met in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He said Maxim is not outright rejecting the policy, which has already been responded to by several other platform operators. However, the company is still considering its impact on the business ecosystem.

He explained that lowering the commission rate will directly affect the company’s revenue, necessitating a number of studies before the policy can be applied.

“Because when the commission, which was previously above that, is now asked to be lowered, it will definitely reduce our revenue,” he said.

Dirhamsyah noted that Maxim’s average commission rate currently stands at around 12 percent. The rates applied to driver partners vary, starting from eight percent up to a maximum of 15 percent, covering services such as motorcycle taxis, cars, deliveries, massage, and cargo, and apply across all regions in Indonesia.

Previously, President Prabowo Subianto signed Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 2026, which cuts the income share taken by platform operators from online motorcycle taxi drivers to a maximum of eight percent.

On Wednesday, Grab Indonesia, another ride-hailing service provider in the country, announced through an official statement that the eight percent revenue-sharing scheme for two-wheeled online motorcycle taxi partners will take effect starting 1 July 2026.
