I. Introduction
There have been technological achievements, especially in the fields of
information and transportation, and improvements are continually developing. As
a result, communication and interaction are made easier, expediting business
agreements and decisions. Increased enthusiasm for globalization as well as
escalating interdependence between persons and nations provide a strong basis
for growth and development of international transaction involving trade, service
and investment.

Consequently, each nation and country are susceptible to influencing and
being influenced by interaction and communication. From the economic
perspective, all forms of protection for the benefit of a country are eliminated until
goods, services, and capital flow in and out a country without obstacles
(borderless economy).

Efficient global production processes with maximum output will occur
because global production resources are allocated efficiently to locations or
countries which have comparative advantage. Global wealth can be attained as
goods and services are purchased at relatively low prices.

Indonesian manpower will continue to be highly mobile across national
boundaries, especially in regions where there is cross border employment. For
example, many Singaporeans in Batam but live in Singapore. Further, there are
many Indonesians who work overseas due to posting or to provide domestic
services.

Increased international transactions in the service sector provide many
benefits to Indonesia including growth in tax revenue.

Foreigners in Indonesia can be categorized as residents or non-residents
depending on the length of time they stay in Indonesia and their activities. As
soon as an individual becomes a resident in Indonesia for tax purposes, he/she
is obligated to register at the appropriate tax office. In practice, many expatriates
are reluctant to register, giving the reason that they have one employer and that
the tax on their employment income has been withheld in accordance with
paragraph 6 of article 21 of 1983 Income Tax Law, once an individual becomes a
resident taxpayer, he/she is subject to tax on worldwide income, that is, income
from sources within and outside Indonesia.

The issuance of amended income tax provisions in the year 2000, that is,
Law Number 17 year 2000, is meant to make it clear that any individual who has
become a resident should register at the appropriate local tax office.

After a taxpayer is registered and has a Tax ID Number (NPWP), he/she
has obligations and rights as regulated by the prevailing tax provisions, for

example, the obligation to pay and report monthly returns (SPT Masa) where
applicable and annual returns (SPT Tahunan).

The purpose of this manual is to provide a brief overview of tax laws and
regulations that an expatriate taxpayer residing in Indonesia should know so that
he/she is aware of his/her tax rights and obligations.

This manual is categorized into six sections - introduction, Tax
Administration, Income Tax, Frequently Asked Questions, General Information
Regarding Visa Requirements for Working in Indonesia, and Relevant Forms in
Bahasa Indonesia and Their translation in English.

III. Income Tax


A. Accretion Principle
The Tax Object shall be the income, namely any increase in economic benefit
derived by a taxpayer, which may be used for consumption or increase the
wealth of the taxpayer concerned, under any name and form whatsoever,
including:
a. Any remuneration or compensation in relation to work, services, or
activities, derived from employment or independent profession,
including: wages, salary, honoraria, doctor’s fees, actuarial fees,
accountant’s fees, lawyer’s fees.
b. Any income or compensation from any business or activity.
c. Any income from capital including from movable and immovable
assets, such as reward and gain from forgiveness of debt
(“haircuts”), etc.


B. Worldwide Income
As mentioned previously, a tax subject is divided into two categories:
a. A resident tax subject;
b. A non-resident tax subject.
A resident tax subject becomes a taxpayer if he/she derives income from
Indonesia and/or from abroad, but a non-resident tax subject becomes a
taxpayer if he/she derives income from Indonesia.
One important difference between a resident taxpayer and a non-resident
taxpayer is that a resident taxpayer is taxed on his/her income originating
from Indonesia and/or from abroad, however a non-resident taxpayer is taxed
on his/her income derived only from Indonesia. Therefore, any individual
residing in Indonesia or any individual staying in Indonesia for more than 183
days within a period of 12 months, or any individual who, within a fiscal year,

stays in Indonesia and intend to reside in Indonesia, is taxed on his/her
worldwide income under any name and form whatsoever.
The tax object also includes any income derived by a taxpayer’s wife and/or
his children who are considered to be the taxpayer’s dependents.


C. Self-Assessment
Since The Income Tax Law of 1983 was enacted, there are some basic
principles which were followed under taxation law in Indonesia. One of the
basic principles is self-assessment, which means that the taxpayer is given
the trust and responsibility to compute, pay, and report their tax obligation. In
relation to the implementation of self-assessment, the tax officials should
establish and supervise the accomplishment of that principle.


D. Withholding Concept
The basic principle in fulfilling tax obligation is that a taxpayer should
calculate, pay and report the tax due by himself/herself. However, in certain
conditions, the fulfillment of tax obligation is regulated through withholding
and collection concept by third parties. This concept is implemented in
accordance with fulfilling the tax obligation as regulated in Article 4 paragraph
2, Article 21, Article 22, Article 23, and Article 26 of The Income Tax Law.
This concept states that the amount of tax due must be withheld or collected,
paid and reported by the party that provides the income.


E. Category of Income
In reporting the tax obligation, any income derived by an individual taxpayer
can be categorized into:
1. Income from business or an independent profession.
Any form of income connected with conducting a business or exercising
an independent profession consists of income from trading, manufacturing,
professional services (such as doctor and consultant) and other forms.

2. Employment income consists of salary, wages, pension payment,
allowance, honoraria, insurance premiums, benefits in kind, bonuses, and
other remuneration in relation to employment. In principle, benefit in kind
is taxed in the hands of employer; however the tax maybe shifted to
employees, when such benefit in kind is distributed in the form of money.
Additionally the latter treatment is also applicable when the benefit in kind
is provided by:
a. A non-tax subject (for example, a representative office or embassies);
b. A self employed individual who uses the norm to calculate his/her
business profit;
c. A taxpayer is working for a business that subject to final tax.


3. Other income.
Generally, other income consists of passive income, such as:
• Interest, including premiums, discounts, and compensation in relation
to loan repayment guaranty;
• Dividends, under any name and form whatsoever;
• Insurance payment by an insurance company to policy holders, and
distribution of the surplus of a cooperative (“sisa hasil usaha”);
• Royalties;
• Lottery prizes and rewards;
• Gain on sale or transfer of property;
• A tax refund which has already been recorded as an expense;
• Gain from haircut/forgiveness of loan;
• Foreign exchange gain;
• Insurance premiums;
• Any other income which has not been taxed.

J. Calculation of Article 24 Income Tax
As mentioned above, the foreign tax credit amount is the actual tax paid
abroad, the proportionate calculation of Indonesian income tax payable
abroad, or Indonesian tax payable on taxable income, whichever is lowest.
Below are some examples of foreign tax credit calculations:


Example 1:
Tax Rate
Amount
Domestic Income Rp 200,000,000.00
Rp 100,000,000.00 + 30%
Foreign Income

Taxable Income Rp 300,000,000.00
Income tax payable (Art. 17 tax Rp 71,250,000.00
rates)


a. Actual income tax paid/payable abroad:
30% x Rp 100,000,000.00 = Rp 30,000,000.00
b. Rp 100,000,000.00 / Rp 300,000,000.00 x Rp 71,250,000.00 = Rp
23,750,000.00
c. Indonesian income tax payable on taxable income = Rp 71,250,000.00
Therefore, the foreign tax credit allowed is Rp 23,750,000.00.


Example 2:
Amount Tax Rate
Domestic Income Rp 200,000,000.00
Rp 100,000,000.00 +
Foreign Income 20%
Taxable Income Rp 300,000,000.00
Income tax payable (Art. 17 tax Rp 71,250,000.00
rates)


a. Actual income tax paid/payable abroad:
20% x Rp 100,000,000.00 = Rp 20,000,000.00
b. Rp 100,000,000.00 / Rp 300,000,000.00 x Rp 71,250,000.00 = Rp
23,750,000.00
c. Indonesian income tax payable on taxable income = Rp 71,250,000.00
Therefore, the foreign tax credit allowed is Rp 20,000,000.00.

Example 3:
Tax Rate
Amount
Domestic Loss (Rp 50,000,000.00)
Rp 100,000,000.00 +
Foreign Income 20%
Taxable Income Rp 50,000,000.00
Income Tax Payable (Art. 17 tax rates) Rp 3,750,000.00


a. Actual income tax paid/payable abroad:
20% x Rp 100,000,000.00 = Rp 20,000,000.00
b. Rp 3,750,000.00. The proportionate Indonesian tax on income abroad
cannot be greater than the Indonesian tax payable.
c. Indonesian income tax payable on taxable income = Rp 3,750,000.00
Therefore, the foreign tax credit allowed is Rp 3,750,000.00.


K. Calculation of Article 25 Monthly Installment Income Taxes


Example 1 (Transition Calculation):
Taxable Income for Year 2000 = Rp 200,000,000.00
Income Tax Payable for Year 2000 (based on 2000 tax rates) = Rp 51,250,000.00
Tax Credit (Art. 21, 23, 24 Income Tax) = Rp 15,250,000.00
Tax Underpayment on 2000 income tax return = Rp 36,000,000.00
Art. 25 Monthly Income Tax based on 2000 tax rates:
(Rp 36,000,000.00 : 12): = Rp 3,000,000.00
Income tax payable based on 2001 tax rates = Rp 36,250,000.00
Art. 25 Monthly Income Tax for 2001:
(Rp 36,250,000.00 / Rp 51,250,000.00) x Rp 3,000,000.00 = Rp 2,121,951.00

Example 2 (Normal Calculation):
Taxable Income for Year 2002 = Rp 600,000,000.00
Income Tax Payable for year 2002 = Rp 176,250,000.00
Tax Credits:
Art. 21 Income Tax = Rp 96,250,000.00
Art. 23 Income Tax = Rp 5,000,000.00
Art. 24 Income Tax = Rp 15,000,000.00
Total tax credits: = Rp 116,250,000.00
Basic for Calculation of 2003 Art.25
Income Tax = Rp 60,000,000.00
Art. 25 Monthly Income Tax for 2003 = Rp 5,000,000.00


Example 3 (New Taxpayer):
Net Income for April 2001 = Rp 50,600,000.00
Annualized Net Income (Rp 50,600,00.00 x 12) = Rp 607,200,000.00
Non Taxable Income = Rp 7,200,000.00
Taxable Income = Rp 600,000,000.00
Income Tax Payable @ 10% = Rp 60,000,000.00
Art. 25 Monthly Income Tax for April 2001:
(Rp 60,000,000.00 : 12): = Rp 5,000,000.00

agency fees, maintenance, and repair expenses?

future year tax return.

return to my home country after my assignment in Indonesia. If my wife
decides to work when she is in my home country, does she have to file an

needs to register and file an Indonesian tax return. She can claim foreign
tax paid on her Indonesian tax return.

(NPWP) this month. How should I calculate my monthly tax liability on my
