Obtaining state revenue is a top priority, although it is not the only goal. Tax policies in Indonesia, especially before tax reforms in the 1999-2009 period, are often influenced by the desire to achieve economic and social goals, including efforts to equalize tax law in all levels of society.

In the State Budget (APBN), there are three main sources of revenue:
Revenue Sources

- Revenue from the oil and gas sector: This source is no longer relied on as the main source of state revenue because of its unrelevised nature.
- Revenue from the non-tax sector: This source is a complement to the two main sources above.
