The OECD and the Government of Indonesia hosted a joint webinar as part of the OECD-Indonesia Joint Work Programme 2019-2021: COVID-19 Response webinar series. In this second event of the series, a range of high-profile experts provided their insights into the difficult issue of finding adequate fiscal space in the face of the current crisis and existing priorities in Indonesia. This was addressed from a range of perspectives – from choices for tax policy reform to the challenges of the current international tax context to the opportunities that technology holds for the tax administration to be more efficient and effective. The aim was to identify the main challenges and opportunities for Indonesia to improve its fiscal space in order to respond to the current crisis and complete its long-term national development plan.
