【SMM Flash News】Indonesia is Considering for Potential of Windfall Tax
Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto announced Thursday that Indonesia is evaluating a coal export tax following a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto. The tax aims to capture "windfall profits" from surging global energy prices to boost state revenue and offset fiscal pressure from rising domestic fuel costs. While specific rates are under review, Hartarto emphasized that a broader windfall tax remains an option if high commodity prices persist. Currently, as there is no official regulations being released for the specific export tax or windfall tax being implemented to commodities, SMM will continue to monitor with the update of the regulations.
