The Value Added Tax was first introduced in France in 1954. It was the resultant effort of France and members of the European Economic Community (E.E.C) during the 1950s aimed at the simplification of commodity taxes. Currently more than 130 nations in the world have adopted the VAT system. In the last decade alone over 50 nations have introduced VAT. This includes implementation in China and most recently the addition of Australia to the list of VAT nations. The world over, VAT is payable on both goods and services as they constitute a part of the national GDR Excise duty and sales taxes are merged into the singularity of VAT. No tax is levied on exports with full input tax credit made available. The scheme of taxation adopted by most nations is very simple. The seller of goods and the service provider charge tax on sales, avail input tax credit and pay the difference as VAT to the goVernment treasury. The compliance system in VAT nations is also very simple. There is very less interface between the tax collector and the tax payer. However there are provisions for heavy penalization of VAT defaulters. VAT is administered nationally and is also levied on imports.

Developments in science and technology is very rapid at the end of the 20th century, especially information and communication technologies have caused changes in many areas of life, including the business life. One of the benefits of information and communication technologies in the business world is the support of the implementation of bisnis transactions are done online or so-called ecommerce (electronic commerce) through the use of the internet network. Ecommerce transactions are growing very rapidly from year to year. Given the potential tax revenue from this sector, governments around the world must give great attention to the taxation of e-commerce transactions, including the imposition of Value Added Tax. In Indonesia, the taxation of e-commerce transactions are regulated in Circular of the Director General of Tax No. SE-62/PJ/2013 dated December 27, 2013. But what is regulated in Circular of the Director General of Tax No. SE-62/PJ/2013 dated December 27, 2013 is deemed still not enough to regulate all matters relating to the imposition of Value Added Tax on e-commerce transactions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a set of rules comprehensive for the imposition of Value Added Tax on e-commerce transactions.

Recently, Indonesia has introduced and planned a tax imposition program, which was announced through the planned imposition of Value Added Tax (PPN) on Nine Basic Ingredients (sembako). Not only that, it turns out that the Government of Indonesia will also impose taxes on other services, such as; Education and Orphanages and Orphanages. As a result, there is a potential for rebellion resulting from some of these plans. This study aims to examine and examine the fifth KUP Bill, which increases tariffs and the imposition of VAT on goods and services that should be excluded. This type of research is normative legal research. This study uses a law application approach and a conceptual approach. The primary sources used are secondary data sources (library materials). The analytical technique used is a descriptive, prescriptive analysis technique, which is specifically given to provide arguments for the results of research that has been carried out. This study found that the VAT rate will reach 12% with a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 15%. Moreover, in general, this policy can violate the principle of utilitarianism because it will harm social welfare. However, if VAT is only imposed on certain goods and services that are more exclusive to subsidize goods and services consumed by the poor, it will gain legitimacy in utilitarianism.

In the current era of the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 virus pandemic, the performance of tax revenues worldwide is declining. Indonesia's tax revenues in 2020 experienced a significant decline, including Value Added Tax receipts which decreased by 14.89% compared to 2019. This study shows that in the current situation there are factors that support and hinder the increase in Value Added Tax revenues. Factors that support the increase in Value Added Tax revenue include: an increase in the fiscal deficit, a decrease in imports, a longstanding Value Added Tax, and the efficiency of tax administration by the government. Meanwhile, the factors that hindered the increase in Value Added Tax revenue were: negative Gross Domestic Product growth, decreased service consumption, decreased C-Value Added Tax efficiency. To increase the value added tax revenue, it is better not to increase the Value Added Tax rate, because most countries in ASEAN use a tariff of 10% or less, except in the Philippines where the rate is 12%. If the rate of Value Added Tax is still increased, the maximum is not more than 12%, and it is temporary in nature for now and will be returned to the original rate or lower after the economic crisis era has passed. Expansion of the object of Value Added Tax can be done, among others, by reducing goods and services that are exempt from the imposition of Value Added Tax, which are facilities freed, are not collected, and are borne by the government. If there is an expansion of the object of the imposition of Value Added Tax, then it should be done very selectively and not to be counterproductive by still giving exceptions to basic necessities that are needed by the community and services that have social objectives or based on international rules are exempt from being imposed. It is also hoped that the reduction in the number of exempt goods and services will not interfere with the economic activities of the community, let alone cause unrest in the  community.
