Recent Developments
The Government of Indonesia recently issued a new regulation on determination of a permanent establishment. In the new regulation, the government provides details to determine whether a foreign individual/body has a permanent establishment in Indonesia.
Implications for Taxpayers
The new regulation provides details on how to determine whether a foreign individual/body has a permanent establishment in Indonesia. Therefore, now there is a clearer guideline for a foreign individual/body to determine whether it has a permanent establishment or not.
If a foreign individual/body in Indonesia meets the criteria of a permanent establishment, the foreign individual/body is required to obtain a tax ID number. In addition, if it meets the criteria of a taxable entrepreneur for VAT purposes, the foreign individual/body must register itself to be a taxable entrepreneur for VAT purposes.
What the Regulation Says
On 1 April, the Government of Indonesia issued Minister of Finance Regulation No. 35/PMK.03/2019 on Determination of Permanent Establishment ("MoF Regulation 35").
The regulation came into force on the issuance date.
