Annual Individual Income tax Report

The Indonesian personal taxation system is based on worldwide income. This includes:

• Any salary paid to you for your current position
• Dividend and interest income
• Rental income
• Capital gains from sale of property

Credit is given for income tax paid overseas, subjected to limits and perhaps dependent on double taxation treaties between Indonesia and your home country. You may also receive credit for tax taken on interest income for local bank accounts and time deposits and other interest earning methods that are taxed.

Your employer is responsible for the calculation of any taxes that need to be withheld from your salary, monthly payment of these taxes to the tax authorities, and provision of annual numbers to the employee.

Each employee is required to report their annual tax income every March of the next year. They are supposed to receive their monthly tax calculation from their employer, and at the end of the year or the latest by March of the next year, the company has to produce Form 1721-A1, which summarizes how much taxes the company has been paying for each employee. The employee needs to use Form 1721-A1 to be included in their personal annual income tax report.
