Key Proposal of E-cigarette Tax Adjustment in Indonesia
The Indonesian Ministry of Finance proposes revisions to the public health law, including increasing taxes on e-cigarette liquid and combating illegal cigarettes.

According to a report by The New York Times, the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia (Kemenkeu) has recently put forth a series of crucial recommendations aimed at revising the draft public health law. One of the significant proposals involves adjusting the tax rate on e-cigarette liquid and intensifying efforts to combat the illicit tobacco market.

 

The Ministry of Finance has proposed specific measures aimed at standardizing tax collection, curbing the production and sale of illegal cigarettes, and specifying the extent of tax rate adjustments. The objective of this revision is to optimize the public health environment and prevent the exacerbation of social health problems.

 

It should be noted that there will be a stronger crackdown on the issue of illegal cigarettes as emphasized by the Ministry of Finance. Simultaneously, there will be new adjustments to the tax rate for e-cigarettes, which may result in an increase in their consumption tax.

 

The revision of the Public Health Law by the Indonesian government is a significant step towards improving health regulations and ensuring public health safety. The Ministry of Finance is currently conducting research on the various provisions of the bill and plans to make comprehensive tax adjustments to cigarettes and e-cigarettes after the revision is completed.
