Indonesia's tax rates are uncompetitive compared to other ASEAN countries. According to 2016 World Bank data, Indonesia's tax rate reached 30.6 percent, up from 29.7 percent previously. This rate comprises income tax (16.9 percent), labor tax (10.3 percent), and other taxes (3.4 percent). This figure is significantly higher than that of other Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei Darussalam and Singapore.
In the World Bank and Pricewaterhouse Cooper (PwC) 2017 tax study, *Paying Taxes*, Indonesia's tax payment ranking improved to 104th, a 44-place jump from its previous position of 148th. However, within the ASEAN region, its ranking still lags behind other countries such as Singapore and Malaysia.
