Common Questions about EFIN& Corporate Tax in Indonesia

How does a company obtain and activate an EFIN in Indonesia?

Once issued, the EFIN must be activated to access the online tax system. Proper guidance during this process helps minimize errors, particularly for foreign-owned companies navigating Indonesian administrative procedures.

EFIN is mandatory for all corporate taxpayers in Indonesia, including PT PMA and entities with foreign ownership.
