Taxes in Indonesia
Indonesian and non-Indonesian residents, as well as any business registered in Indonesia, are identified by their Tax Identification Number known as the NPWP (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak). The NPWP is important to have in order to submit taxes. Once you have your own NPWP, you will be able to pay your monthly income taxes, file annual tax reports, and more.
You need an NPWP in order to:
- Obtain a driver’s license
- Set up a local bank account
- Acquire a credit card from a local bank
- Purchase of a vehicle
- Build a property
- Transfer money from an Indonesian bank account to a foreign bank account
