Under Government Regulation No. 78 of 2019 and Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 11\/PMK.010\/2020 (amended by No. 96\/PMK.010\/2020), Indonesia offers tax allowances to encourage businesses in specific sectors.<\/p>\n

Tax Holiday<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Indonesia\u2019s tax holiday scheme is one of its most attractive incentives for foreign investors, particularly for companies in “pioneer” sectors, such as manufacturing and infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Governed by Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 130\/PMK.010\/2020, eligible businesses can receive full exemptions from corporate income tax (CIT) for 5 to 20 years, depending on the scale of the investment. For investments in Special Economic Zones (SEZs), tax holidays may extend up to 25 years.<\/p>\n
For smaller-scale investments, Indonesia also offers a \u201cmini\u201d tax holiday, which provides a 50% reduction in CIT for up to five years. Both the tax holiday and mini tax holiday can be extended with an additional two-year CIT reduction.<\/p>\n
This flexible scheme aims to provide substantial financial relief and boost the profitability of capital-intensive sectors.<\/p>\n
