Semi-Annually LKPM is a mandatory year-end investment realization report for PMA companies in Indonesia. Under the supervision of BKPM and regulated by Peraturan BKPM No. 5/2021, it serves as a cumulative summary of your company’s capital realization, operational performance, manpower absorption, and future business plans, submitted digitally through the Online Single Submission system.

If your PMA company is already in the operational phase, Semi-Annually or Semester LKPM is not optional. It is a compliance obligation tied directly to your business licenses and long-term investment status.

In short, Semi-Annually LKPM confirms to the Indonesian government that your investment is real, active, and aligned with the commitments declared in your business license.

Semi-Annually LKPM falls under Indonesia’s risk-based licensing framework integrated into OSS-RBA. Operational PMA companies must submit reports twice a year on a semester basis:

  • January 1–10 for July–December period
  • July 1–10 for January–June period

For example, the Semester II report is due between January 1 and January 10 of the following year.

Missing this deadline exposes your company to administrative sanctions, including warnings, license freezing, or restrictions on future facilities.

Core Components of Semi-Annually LKPM

Semi-Annually LKPM is cumulative. It summarizes your total investment realization and operational achievements over the reporting period.

Key components include:

1. Cumulative Investment Realization

  • Total realized investment value

This must align with your OSS data and reflect actual business activity.

  • Export or domestic distribution

Accuracy is critical because inconsistencies can trigger compliance review.

Labor data must reflect real payroll and HR records.

ObjectiveReal-time monitoringYear-end assessment and compliance validation

Semi-Annually LKPM vs BKPM Incentive Report

Do not confuse Semi-Annually LKPM with incentive reporting.

Semi-Annually LKPM monitors overall investment realization. Incentive reports account specifically for tax holidays, customs exemptions, or other facilities granted.

They are separate obligations. Failing one does not replace the other.

Common Challenges Foreign PMA Companies Face

Many foreign investors struggle with:

  • Aligning financial statements with OSS entries
  • Ensuring cumulative investment accuracy
  • Managing strict January and July deadlines
  • Responding to correction notes from BKPM

If reporting errors occur, the consequences are real. We explain detailed risks in our guide on penalties and sanctions for late or incorrect LKPM reporting. For a broader compliance overview, you can also review our article on LKPM reporting for PMA companies.
