This legal research aims to analyze the potential application of gender-based Income Tax for Individuals and Entities in supporting care economy policies in Indonesia. The care economy refers to the recognition of care work, both paid and unpaid, particularly about child care services (daycare) and paternity leave, as a vital contribution to economic development and the equitable distribution of gender roles in the workforce.
This study employs a normative legal research method, which examines legal norms derived from statutory regulations, supported by a literature review and field data obtained through interviews. This legal writing utilizes two types of data: primary data in the form of statutory regulations, and secondary data in the form of books and academic journals. Furthermore, this legal study is supported by interviews with relevant informants to strengthen the collected data. The collected data is then analyzed using qualitative methods.
The findings reveal that the recognition of the care economy in Indonesia remains limited, facing several constraints, including structural barriers, a lack of integration between fiscal and social policies, and deeply rooted socio-cultural norms surrounding care work. Therefore, the implementation of gender-based tax incentives—such as deductions on gross income for paternity leave costs, tax reduction schemes, exemption of in natura benefits from taxable objects, and tax-free voucher schemes for child care services—requires clear and explicit technical regulations. A more inclusive and gender-responsive tax system can thus serve as a strategic policy tool to promote equal participation in care work and strengthen sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.
