Demonstration to reject 12% VAT implementation

A number of protesters carry posters during a protest against 12 percent value-added tax (VAT) in front of the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (December 12, 2024). In their demands, they rejected the increase in VAT to 12 percent since it will trigger a spike in the price of goods and services that would burden lower-middle income people.
