Indonesians are taxed on their worldwide income. Non-residents are
only taxed on income derived from Indonesia. An individual will be a
resident of Indonesia if they are present in Indonesia for more than
183 days or reside in Indonesia during a fiscal year and intend to
stay in Indonesia. Certain tax treaties modify the above rules.

Filing status – The family is considered a single economic unit;
hence, joint filing is required. Separate filing is allowed only if
there is a pre-nuptial agreement between the husband and wife.

Taxable income – Taxable income of individuals includes profits from a
business, employment income and capital gains.

Capital gains – Capital gains derived by an individual are taxed as
income at the normal rates; gains on shares listed in Indonesia are
taxed at 0.1% (final tax) of the transaction value. (An additional tax
of 0.5% applies to the share value of founder shares at the time of an
initial public offering.) Gains on the disposal of land and/or
buildings are taxed at 5% (final tax) of the transaction value.
