House Approves 2027 APBN Draft Law; Tax Target Rises to IDR2,593 T

JAKARTA, DDTCNews - The House of Representatives has formally approved the 2027 State Budget (anggaran penerimaan dan belanja negara/APBN in Indonesian) Draft Law at a plenary session held today, Tuesday (29/9/2026).

Under the 2027 state budget, the tax revenue target has been agreed at IDR2,593.35 trillion, an increase of IDR2 trillion compared with the initial proposal submitted by the government in the financial note of the 2027 draft state budget, valued at IDR2,591.35 trillion.

"Tax [revenue stands at] IDR2,593.35 trillion, [whilst] customs and excise [stands at] IDR318.6 trillion," said the Chairperson of the House Budget Committee (Badan Anggaran/Banggar in Indonesian), Said Abdullah, at the plenary session.

The customs and excise target has also risen by IDR2 trillion from the target proposed by the government in the financial note of the 2027 draft state budget, which stood at IDR316.6 trillion. The non-tax state revenue (penerimaan negara bukan pajak/PNBP in Indonesian) target has likewise been agreed to increase from the initial proposal of IDR517.41 trillion to IDR522.48 trillion.

Accordingly, the total state revenue target for 2027 has been agreed to rise from the initial proposal of IDR3,426.03 trillion to IDR3,435.1 trillion.

With regard to expenditure, the central government spending target has been agreed to rise from the initial proposal of IDR3,362.19 trillion to IDR3,371.26 trillion, whilst transfers to regions are proposed to remain unchanged at IDR735 trillion.

As a result, total state expenditure for 2027 has been agreed to rise from the initial proposal of IDR4,097.19 trillion to IDR4,106.26 trillion.

With the above targets, the budget deficit has been agreed at IDR671.16 trillion, or 2.4% of GDP, remaining equivalent to the initial proposal submitted by the government in the financial note of the 2027 draft state budget.

"There are increases in both state revenue and expenditure, yet these do not alter the 2027 deficit target. We have maintained the deficit target at 2.4% of GDP to ensure the maximum capacity of the 2027 draft state budget in carrying out its budgetary functions whilst continuing to uphold the prudential principle," said Said.
