The Contribution of MSMEs to the Indonesian Economy
Indonesia has the potential of a strong national economic base because the number of MSMEs, especially micro-enterprises, continues to increase and the absorption of labor is also very large. However, one of the sectors that was hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic was MSMEs which ultimately made the national economy decline. Of course this is understandable because MSMEs have a very large role in the national economy.
In Indonesia, MSMEs are dominated by micro-entrepreneurs whose number reaches 98.6% with a workforce absorption capacity of up to 89%. From these figures, it can be said that this business base has proven to be strong in facing the economic crisis.

Micro-enterprises also have a fast turnover of transactions, mostly using domestic production and are in direct contact with the main needs of the community. Not only that, one of the economic recovery in Indonesia is obtained from compliance in carrying out tax obligations.
The Importance of Tax Applications for MSMEs
As you know, tax is a mandatory contribution to the state that is owed by both individuals and entities that are coercive under the law. In the digital era like now, the proliferation of applications that support daily activities is certainly not a taboo thing anymore. Everything is easy and practical thanks to these applications.
What are the tax points of view for MSME actors that must be met? Here’s a MSME/SME tax perspective that you need to know:
PPh Article 4 paragraph (2)/Final PPh (valid if there is a building/office rental, total sales, etc.).
VAT (if there is a sale transaction).
Income Tax Article 21 (if you have staff).
Income Tax Article 23 (if there is a service purchase transaction).
Income Tax Article 26 (when conducting transactions with foreign taxpayers).
