Non-Tax State Revenue Tariffs at the Ministry of Law: PP 30/2026

Government Regulation 30 of 2026 (Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 30 Tahun 2026 tentang Jenis dan Tarif atas Jenis Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak yang Berlaku pada Kementerian Hukum, "Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenue Applicable at the Ministry of Law") was enacted in Jakarta on 2 July 2026 and recorded in State Gazette 2026 No. 72. It restates the catalogue of charges the Ministry of Law may collect for its services and withdraws the equivalent provisions of Government Regulation 45 of 2024, which had been written for the former Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Issue

Indonesia treats service charges collected by ministries as Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak, or non-tax state revenue, and each ministry's types and rates must be fixed by government regulation. The elucidation to the new instrument records two reasons for reopening the 2024 schedule: the organisational structure of the Ministry of Law has changed, and the types and rates themselves required adjustment. The 2024 regulation had been issued for a ministry that has since been reorganised, so its schedule no longer matched the institution collecting the money.

Key Provisions

Pasal 1 paragraph (1) lists five categories of non-tax revenue at the Ministry of Law: legal services; functional training for drafters of laws and regulations; intellectual property services; use of facilities and infrastructure in line with the ministry's duties and functions; and legislation services. Paragraph (2) places the detailed rates in an Appendix that forms an inseparable part of the regulation. Two categories sit outside the fixed-rate approach. Under paragraph (3), the curator fee for bankruptcy work carried out by the Estate Administration Office is set by a court decision that has obtained permanent legal force. Under paragraph (4), the charge for international trademark filings made through the Madrid Protocol follows the rules of the World Intellectual Property Organization rather than the domestic schedule.

The Appendix carries the operative numbers. A patent application covering up to ten claims costs Rp350,000 for micro and small enterprises, educational institutions, and government research and development bodies, and Rp1,250,000 for general applicants; a simple patent application costs Rp200,000 and Rp800,000 respectively. Claims beyond the tenth cost Rp75,000 each, and descriptions running past thirty pages add Rp15,000 per page. Accelerated publication costs Rp500,000, and a statement of prior use costs Rp3,000,000. Industrial design filings follow the same two-tier structure, at Rp200,000 for the concessional group and Rp1,000,000 for a single general design, rising to Rp1,500,000 for a design set.

Pasal 7 requires that all non-tax revenue collected at the ministry be deposited into the State Treasury. Pasal 8 preserves implementing rules made under the 2024 regulation so far as they do not conflict with the new text, while Pasal 9 revokes the 2024 rates for legal services, drafter training, intellectual property, facilities use, and civil-servant competency assessment. Pasal 10 sets entry into force thirty days after promulgation.

Implications

The five-category list in Pasal 1 is not identical to the list revoked by Pasal 9. Competency assessment for civil servants appears among the revoked 2024 items but not among the new categories, while legislation services appear as a new category. That repeal sits beside other 2026 clean-ups of civil-service instruments, such as the withdrawal of study permit rules for civil servants. Applicants dealing with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property continue to face the older schedule for one month after promulgation, then the new rates. The concessional tier for micro and small enterprises, educational institutions, and public research bodies is written into the Appendix itself rather than left to a ministerial decision. Because Pasal 8 keeps the earlier implementing rules alive where they do not conflict, procedural circulars issued under the 2024 regulation continue to govern day-to-day filing steps until they are replaced.

Regulatory Context

The regulation belongs to a run of 2026 government regulations touching state revenue and its administration, including adjustments to final income tax and their transitional rules and the governance of strategic natural-resource commodity exports. Its scope is narrower than either: it fixes what one ministry may charge, at what rate, and where the proceeds go.
