According to an article by Indonesian media outlet Viva on December 18th, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) at the Indonesian Ministry of Finance has confirmed that tobacco taxes (Cukai Hasil Tembakau, CHT) will increase by 10% in 2024, while e-cigarette taxes will rise by 15%. The decision to implement these hikes is based on the consideration of four key factors.
This arrangement is explicitly specified in Decree No. 191 of the Ministry of Finance in 2022, commonly known as PMK (Peraturan Menteri Keuangan). This regulation mainly covers the tobacco tax rates for cigarettes, cigars, rolled tobacco, hand-rolled cigarettes, and cut tobacco (Tembakau Iris, abbreviated as TIS).
Earlier, Askolani, the Director General of Taxation at the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, also stated that they have prepared approximately 17 million tobacco tax stamps for January 2024. This aligns with their strategy to raise tobacco tax rates in 2024.
