Fiscal & Tax Incentives

Fiscal & Tax Incentives Advisory is a strategic service designed to help investors and companies understand, identify, and effectively consider the tax facilities and fiscal incentives available for investment and business development in Indonesia.

For investors, particularly international companies evaluating Indonesia as an investment destination, the tax environment and availability of investment incentives can be important factors in determining the economic feasibility of a project. Sector, investment value, project location, local content, export orientation, and the nature of business activities may all influence the types of incentives that may be available.

Network Asia Advisory helps clients view fiscal incentives not simply as tax reductions, but as part of a broader investment strategy, financial planning framework, and overall project cost optimization approach.

Identification of Relevant Incentives

We assist clients in conducting an initial mapping of tax facilities and fiscal incentives that may be relevant to their investment profile.

Our assessment may consider:

• Business sector and activity
• Investment value and scale
• Project location
• Industrial estate or SEZ status
• Domestic or export orientation
• Capital goods and equipment requirements
• Raw material requirements
• Production and capacity expansion plans
• Investment structure
• Nature of business operations

This mapping provides investors with an initial understanding of incentives that may potentially form part of their investment strategy.

Tax Holiday

We assist investors in understanding potential tax holiday facilities, including corporate income tax reductions that may be available to qualifying business activities under applicable regulations.

Our advisory covers the general characteristics of the investment, applicable requirements, facility periods, and key considerations that may need to be addressed when preparing for the application and utilization of such facilities.

For large-scale investments and strategic industries, tax holiday considerations may form an important component of investment projections and long-term business planning.

Tax Allowance

We also assist clients in understanding tax allowance facilities that may be available to qualifying business activities or designated regions under applicable regulations.

We help identify whether an investment may potentially meet relevant criteria and how the facility can be considered as part of the broader investment planning process.

VAT Facilities

Network Asia Advisory assists investors in understanding Value Added Tax (VAT/PPN) facilities that may be relevant to investment activities, including facilities related to capital goods, raw materials, and certain transactions subject to applicable tax regulations.

Understanding potential VAT facilities can be important when estimating initial capital requirements and procurement costs during both the construction and operational phases of a project.

Customs & Import Facilities

For projects requiring imported machinery, equipment, raw materials, or other capital goods, customs considerations can have a significant impact on investment costs.

We assist clients in understanding available customs and import facilities, including potential exemptions or deferrals of import duties and relevant Import Taxes (PDRI), subject to applicable regulations and the characteristics of the investment project.

Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Facilities

Investors operating within Special Economic Zones may have access to various facilities and benefits designed to support investment activities.

We help clients understand how the location of a project within an SEZ may relate to available fiscal and non-fiscal facilities and how these benefits can be considered as part of the overall investment strategy.

Investment Impact Assessment

Fiscal incentives should be evaluated within the context of the entire investment project. We help clients understand how available facilities may affect project costs, financial projections, and investment returns.

The assessment may consider:

• Capital expenditure (CAPEX)
• Operating expenditure (OPEX)
• Import costs
• Tax liabilities
• Raw material costs
• Facility construction costs
• Cash flow projections
• Investment payback period
• Future capacity expansion

This approach enables investors to evaluate the potential impact of incentives within a broader commercial and financial framework.

Investment Structure & Tax Considerations

Different investment structures may result in different tax considerations. We help clients identify tax-related matters that should be considered when planning an investment, including the relationship between corporate structure, business activities, project location, and available incentives.

For foreign investors, understanding these considerations at an early stage can be important before determining the investment structure and committing significant capital.

Regulatory Monitoring

Tax policies and investment incentives may evolve in response to government policy priorities and economic conditions.

Network Asia Advisory helps clients monitor relevant policy developments and identify changes that may affect their investment plans. This allows investors to respond more effectively and adjust their business and investment strategies where necessary.

Coordination & Implementation Support

We can assist in coordinating relevant information and documentation requirements associated with investment facilities with the appropriate stakeholders.

This approach helps investors gain a clearer understanding of the procedures, requirements, and documentation that may need to be prepared before applying for or utilizing available facilities.

Strategic Fiscal Planning

The objective of our service is not simply to identify the largest possible tax benefit, but to help investors develop an investment strategy that is efficient, compliant, commercially sound, and sustainable.

By considering fiscal incentives from the early stages of an investment, investors can incorporate tax considerations into feasibility assessments, financial modelling, location selection, investment structuring, and long-term business planning.

Supporting International Investors

For international companies establishing manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, energy projects, industrial developments, or other business operations in Indonesia, navigating the country's tax and investment incentive framework can be complex.

Network Asia Advisory helps international investors develop a practical understanding of Indonesia's fiscal environment from an investment and business perspective, enabling more informed decisions regarding location, investment scale, structure, and implementation.

By combining investment, taxation, industrial estate, and regulatory perspectives, Network Asia Advisory helps clients identify and strategically consider relevant fiscal incentives as part of a long-term investment strategy in Indonesia.
