INDIVIDUAL TAXATION

Residents are taxed on their worldwide income. An individual is a resident if he stayed in Indonesia for 183 days in any 12-month period or if resident in Indonesia with the intention of staying in the country.

Married couples are generally taxed jointly but may opt for separate taxation if there is a pre-nuptial agreement between husband and wife.

INCOME TAX

Income is classified as follows: (1) income from business or independent profession, (2) employment income, and (3) other income (including interest, dividends, insurance payments, royalties, lottery prizes, gains on sales or transfers of property, foreign exchange gains, insurance premiums, and any other income which has not yet been taxed).

Taxable income from different sources is computed separately. Taxable income from all sources are then aggregated and taxed at progressive rates.

Resident taxpayers are entitled to the following allowances:

• IDR54,000,000 (US$3,718) for the taxpayer
