Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has postponed the implementation of Income Tax Article 22 withholding by marketplaces on online merchants until October 31, 2026, with marketplaces like Shopee, Tokopedia, Lazada, and Blibli temporarily relieved from withholding duties. The tax amounts already withheld will be refunded to domestic merchants, although the underlying regulation remains unchanged.

The delay in marketplace tax withholding opens a temporary cash flow window and refund processes for Indonesian online merchants; you in fintech and e-commerce should prepare for renewed tax compliance starting November and consider potential operational impacts now.
