How to Calculate the IDR 4.8 Billion Revenue Threshold under PP 20/2026
The IDR 4.8 billion threshold remains, but gross revenue is calculated more comprehensively, including business income, independent professional services, certain final-tax income, and foreign income. This article reads the issue practically so business owners can prepare their tax position before year-end.
This article is based on the IKPI seminar material on Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026 and the PP 20/2026 FAQ module. The official regulation is Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026, effective 22 April 2026.
Quick Take
- The test uses gross revenue from the last tax year.
- Business income and independent professional-service income are included.
- Income already subject to another final tax may still count for threshold testing.
- Foreign-source income also needs attention.
Practical Impact
- The decision to use the 0.5% final tax must be supported by calculation, not assumption.
- Bookkeeping becomes the main control to prove source and character of income.
- Structures that used to be efficient should be retested against aggregation and exclusion rules.
Common Misreadings
- Do not look only at one entity’s revenue.
- Do not treat all digital income as the same.
- Do not wait for a tax letter before organizing documents.
Action Checklist
- List taxpayer status and all income sources.
- Calculate last-year gross revenue on an aggregated basis.
- Check transitional rules and facility periods.
- Prepare bookkeeping or net-income norm analysis according to income character.
Simple Example
A person has IDR 1.5 billion catering revenue and IDR 3.5 billion professional-service income. The IDR 5 billion total exceeds the threshold, so the catering business may lose MSME final-tax eligibility for the following year.
