This research aims to estimate the extent of the effect of exemption and/or restitution of import duty, Value Added Taxes (PPN) and Sales Tax on Luxury Goods (PPnBM) through the Ease on Import for Export Destination (KITE) policy on export value of KITE facility recipients in Indonesia. Furthermore, the research analyses the influence of the Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER), the world’s real GDP and the crisis of 2008-2009 to the export value of the company receiving KITE facilities.
