< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Indonesia has implemented mandatory e-invoicing as part of its digital tax modernization strategy. The government requires businesses to issue electronic invoices for VAT transactions, integrating them with the national tax authority for real-time validation.
Indonesia’s e-invoicing system, known as e-Faktur, has improved tax compliance, reduced fraud, and streamlined financial transactions. Businesses must generate and validate invoices through the government’s platform before they are legally recognized.
Regulatory authority
The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) manages Indonesia’s e-invoicing system and ensures compliance.

Transmission channels
