Who Can Still Use the 0.5% Final Tax after PP 20/2026?
The most important question after PP 20/2026 is not whether the rate increased. It is who can still use the 0.5% final tax. The answer is narrower than under the previous regime.
This article is based on two working references: the IKPI seminar material on Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026 and the PP 20/2026 FAQ module prepared from P2Humas FAQ materials. The official regulation is Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026, effective 22 April 2026.
Quick Take
- Eligible: individual business owners.
- Eligible: one-person companies, as long as exclusions do not apply.
- Eligible: cooperatives, subject to a limited facility period.
- No longer new recipients: CVs, firms, ordinary PTs, BUMDes, and BUMDesma.
Practical Impact
- Choice of business form becomes a more serious tax decision.
- A one-person company is not automatically safe if used to wrap professional services.
- Cooperatives must count the four-tax-year facility period from registration.
Common Misreadings
- Do not equate every small entity with an eligible MSME taxpayer.
- Do not rely only on revenue below IDR 4.8 billion.
- Do not ignore transitional rules for existing entities.
Action Checklist
- Check taxpayer form or individual status.
- Check source and character of income.
- Check links with other businesses owned by the same person.
- Document the basis for using the facility.
Simple Example
Two businesses each earn IDR 1 billion. An individual-owned shop may qualify, while a newly established ordinary PT does not automatically receive the 0.5% final tax.
