One of the business owner’s biggest concerns when they set up a company in Indonesia is ensuring they adhere to the correct working practices and that means paying the correct taxes and VAT.
Many new business owners ask whether they need to register for VAT and this depends on a few different factors; but before we get there, let’s clarify what it is and who it is relevant to.
Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a tax imposed on most goods and services within Indonesia. The standard taxable rate is 11%; however, some goods or services are charged at different rates ranging from 5 – 15% in accordance with Indonesian Regulations.
It should be noted that Indonesia levies a separate GST on the sale of luxury items, which ranges between 10% and 50%.
In general, your business is required a VAT registration number when it reaches an annual revenue of 4.8 billion IDR (Approx. 360,000 USD).
