Jakarta. Indonesia’s tax authority has formally appointed OpenAI Operating Company, LLC as a collector of value-added tax on digital trade, marking a further expansion of the country’s tax regime for cross-border electronic transactions, a Finance Ministry official said on Monday.

The designation makes OpenAI OpCo — the operating company responsible for OpenAI’s commercial and day-to-day activities — subject to Indonesia’s value-added tax on trade conducted through electronic systems, commonly referred to as digital VAT.

In addition to OpenAI OpCo, the government has also appointed the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation and Bespin Global as digital VAT collectors. With the latest additions, Indonesia has now designated 254 companies to collect digital taxes.

“At the same time, the government has revoked the digital tax collector status of Amazon Services Europe,” Rosmauli, Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes, said in a statement.

Rosmauli said the inclusion of companies operating in the artificial intelligence sector reflects the growing contribution of the digital economy to state revenue.

“The appointment of digital tax collectors from the AI sector shows that the digital economy is increasingly delivering tangible benefits to the public, particularly in supporting government revenue,” she said.

According to the Directorate General of Taxes, total digital tax revenue reached Rp 44.55 trillion ($2.7 billion) as of Nov. 30, 2025. The figure comprises Rp 34.54 trillion from digital trade VAT, Rp 1.81 trillion from crypto-asset transaction taxes, Rp 4.27 trillion from fintech peer-to-peer lending taxes, and Rp 3.94 trillion from other digital taxes.

Of the companies appointed as digital VAT collectors, 215 have already collected and remitted taxes, contributing a cumulative Rp 34.54 trillion, with receipts rising steadily year by year.

Rosmauli said the amount includes Rp 731.4 billion in 2020, Rp 3.9 trillion in 2021, Rp 5.51 trillion in 2022, Rp 6.76 trillion in 2023, Rp 8.44 trillion in 2024, and Rp 9.19 trillion throughout 2025.
