  • VAT still needed to meet the total minimum: IDR 0.00.
  • Prepare the claim through the official VAT Refund web application supporting Coretax. At a participating departure airport, present passport, boarding pass, invoices and goods for inspection.
  • The purchase date is day zero for the 30-day planning window. Stay length is elapsed days from arrival; confirm borderline day counting with the refund counter. Approval and bank or currency charges can change the payout.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

DGT guidance sets IDR50,000 VAT per invoice, IDR500,000 qualifying VAT in total, a 30-calendar-day purchase window and a maximum 60-day visit. These are tax amounts, not gross-spend thresholds. The current guidance was checked November 14, 2026; original threshold commencement was not established.

Claim = sum of qualifying invoice VAT, if that sum ≥ IDR500,000

Cash is limited to IDR5,000,000. Above that, the transfer option preserves the claim; choosing cash only forfeits the excess. No VAT rate or currency conversion is assumed. Display uses two decimals without intermediate rounding. Dates use elapsed calendar days, with purchase and arrival as day zero; confirm borderline timing at the counter.

Worked examples

Two invoices reach the minimum

VAT of IDR250,000 on November 1 and IDR250,000 on November 2 totals IDR500,000. Arrival November 1 and departure November 14, 2026 pass the timing checks; potential cash payout is IDR500,000.

Cash-only forfeiture

One qualifying invoice with IDR6,000,000 VAT gives a potential IDR6,000,000 transfer. Choosing cash only gives IDR5,000,000 and forfeits IDR1,000,000.

Frequently asked questions

Does a small invoice count toward the total?
No. VAT below IDR50,000 on an invoice is excluded from the qualifying sum.
Can Indonesian citizens use this?
The tourist scheme requires a foreign passport holder who is neither an Indonesian citizen nor a permanent resident.
How do I start the application?
Use the official VAT Refund web application supporting Coretax. DGT says it replaced the desktop process on February 1, 2025. Prepare the claim and goods photos, then obtain airport officer review.
Does this calculator submit my claim?
No. It only checks your entries locally. Use the official application and a participating airport refund counter; keep goods, invoices, passport and boarding pass ready.
