The Ministry of Finance has released a number of goods that will be subject to 12% VAT. Some of them are premium food ingredients such as salmon to king crab. Head of the PHRI Restaurant Division, Emil Arifin, said that the impact of the VAT increase was to reduce competitiveness and burden purchasing power from Covid to the presidential election. With the 12% VAT, it will actually hit the restaurant industry because there is an increase in operational costs to 7%-8%. The increase in VAT on several goods will also make it difficult to implement. According to Emil, what happens in the field is that it will be equalized. Therefore, the increase in VAT to 12% needs to be reviewed.
