With 2027 approaching, companies operating in Indonesia should begin planning around the official public holidays and collective leave days in the country.
On 15 September 2026, the Government of Indonesia formally established the 2027 holiday calendar through the Joint Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs, Minister of Manpower, and Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform: SKB No. 1205 of 2026, No. 3 of 2026 and No. 2 of 2026. The decree sets 18 national public holidays and 8 collective leave days for 2027, which accrued by 1 day from the previous year. (See: Indonesia Public Holidays & Collective Leave Days 2026)
The calendar information is relevant not only to employees planning their annual leave, but also to businesses managing payroll, staffing, government submissions, tax filings and other corporate compliance deadlines.
Key Highlights
- 18 national public holidays are scheduled for Indonesia in 2027.
- 8 collective leave days have been established.
- Collective leave is mandatory for ASN, while its implementation for private-sector employees is generally subject to the employer’s policy.
- Companies should account for holidays when planning payroll, employee leave, government submissions and corporate reporting.
- PT PMA companies can use a compliance calendar to track statutory deadlines and prepare filings before offices and government systems become affected by holiday periods.

Why Should Foreign Businesses Pay Attention to Indonesian Public Holidays?
For foreign investors, the holiday calendar can have practical implications beyond office closures.
A business may have employees working across Indonesia and overseas, government filings to complete, tax payments to arrange and corporate documents requiring signatures or processing.
Holiday periods can also affect communication with government offices, banks, notaries and other service providers.
This becomes particularly relevant around March 2027, when Nyepi, Eid al-Fitr and several collective leave days occur within a relatively concentrated period.
Businesses should therefore avoid scheduling important compliance activities at the last possible moment.
For companies with employees, holiday planning can also affect staffing arrangements, payroll and annual leave administration. The exact treatment of collective leave in the private sector should be determined according to the company’s applicable employment arrangements and regulations.
Indonesia Compliance Calendar for PT PMA
For a PT PMA, the 2027 holiday calendar should sit alongside a broader corporate compliance calendar.
This can include:
- Monthly tax and payroll obligations;
- Quarterly LKPM reporting;
- Annual corporate income tax reporting;
- Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (RUPS);
- Annual company report and SABH submission;
- BPJS and manpower obligations;
- Business licence and OSS updates;
- Foreign worker and immigration requirements; and
- Corporate changes involving shareholders, directors or commissioners.
The purpose is not simply to record when the office is closed. It is to identify when a compliance deadline falls near a public holiday or collective leave period, giving the company time to prepare beforehand.
For example, if a filing requires supporting documents from a finance team, director, commissioner, notary or external consultant, waiting until the final working day before a holiday can create unnecessary delays.
Build Compliance Deadlines Around the Holiday Calendar
Public holidays and collective leave can make an already busy compliance schedule more difficult to manage. For PT PMA companies, the easiest way to avoid last-minute issues is to prepare key filings ahead of their deadlines.
Use the following checklist when building your 2027 PT PMA compliance calendar:
Monthly
☐ Review monthly tax obligations
☐ Review payroll and BPJS obligations
☐ Reconcile corporate and tax records
Q1 (January to March)
☐ Prepare Q1 LKPM
☐ Prepare the annual corporate tax return
☐ Check applicable audit requirements
☐ Review shareholder and management records
Q2 (April to June)
☐ Prepare the annual report
☐ Hold the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (RUPS)
☐ Complete the required SABH submission
☐ Prepare Q2 LKPM
☐ Review OSS and KBLI information
☐ Review business licences
Q3 (July to September)
☐ Prepare Q3 LKPM
☐ Review foreign-worker compliance
☐ Reconcile corporate and tax records
☐ Check whether changes to the business have created additional reporting or licensing requirements
Q4 (October to December)
☐ Prepare Q4 LKPM
☐ Review corporate, tax, licensing and employment records before year-end
☐ Check upcoming 2028 compliance deadlines
