Common questions
How many days make me an Indonesian tax resident?
More than 183 days in any 12-month period is one path under PER-23/PJ/2025. A part of a day counts as a full day. You can also become a domestic tax subject by residing in Indonesia or by being present in a tax year with documented intent to reside (KITAP, long ITAS/VITAS, long contracts).
Does Indonesia tax my worldwide income?
Yes once you are a domestic taxpayer — income from within and without Indonesia. That is the default. A separate rule lets qualifying foreign experts elect Indonesian-source-only taxation for four tax years, but only after applying to DGT.
Is the 4-year foreign-income carve-out automatic?
No. PMK 18/PMK.03/2021 requires an application to the Director General of Taxes, and only certain expertise / positions qualify. Do not assume a digital-nomad stay unlocks it.
What are the personal income tax rates?
Pasal 17 under UU HPP: 5% up to Rp60 million of taxable income, then 15%, 25%, 30%, and 35% above Rp5 billion. Monthly employment withholding often uses TER (average effective rates) for January–November; the annual true-up uses Pasal 17 — do not confuse a payslip TER % with your annual bracket.
Is this the whole Indonesia picture?
No. This is the tax door. Second Home stay, RPTKA work authority, and each passport's treaty with Indonesia are separate layers.
