The tax office requires all expatriates resident in Indonesia to register with the tax office and obtain their own separate tax number (NPWP) and pay monthly income taxes, file annual tax returns, and pay tax on their income earned outside Indonesia, less tax paid in other jurisdictions on the additional overseas income.
