Withholding tax in Indonesia is how income taxes are collected. 3E Accounting provides Withholding Tax Services in Indonesia that cater to your corporate needs.
What Is Withholding Taxes?
Withholding taxes in Indonesia are the responsibility of the party who is paying. In this case, the payer must withhold or collect the taxes involved. Taxes are applicable to both individuals and corporations. They are levied on a range of payments.
Resident corporations can expect to pay 15% in taxes while individuals pay 10%. If your company has a gross turnover that is less than IDR 50 million, you are eligible for a 50% reduction in your corporate tax rate. 3E Accounting’s Withholding Tax Services in Indonesia can handle the calculations for you.
If your company is a resident of Indonesia, you will be taxed based on the income you earn worldwide (if any).
