From ekonomi.republika.co.id's report, Indonesia’s Customs Directorate General has reported that vape excise tax revenue reached IDR 2.65 trillion (approx. USD 165 million) in 2024, representing a 43.7% year-on-year increase compared to IDR 1.84 trillion (USD 115 million) in 2023.
Budi Prasetiyo, Head of Public Relations and Outreach at the Customs Directorate, noted that this upward trend is expected to continue. “For 2025, revenue from e-cigarettes is also projected to increase,” he said on Saturday, August 23, 2025.
