Indonesia Has Yet to Confirm 0% Tax for State-Owned Company Restructuring

Indonesia’s tax authority has not confirmed a 0% final income tax for state-owned company restructuring.

Tax Director General Bimo Wijayanto said officials must first review a government regulation and a finance ministry regulation.

The proposed tax treatment concerns restructuring by state-owned companies and their subsidiaries.

A tax authority rule already lists several restructuring transactions at a 0% rate, including some share transfers, buybacks and debt forgiveness.

But that listing does not guarantee the tax break will apply as described.

Wijayanto said the tax authority may revise the listed tax codes.

The government must complete the two regulations before the tax treatment can be settled.

No, no, we should see the government regulation first. If the government regulation is not ready, we would be wrong to do this.

We may revise it later.
