Overview of Transfer Pricing in Indonesia
Since transfer pricing (TP) can be used to transfer assets and income between jurisdictions, all with favourable tax rates, tax authorities have now considered it a significant issue. With that being said, Indonesian tax authorities attempt to tackle the challenge by implementing detailed TP regulations and complex documentation requirements, among others.
Related parties that fail to comply with the TP regulations and cannot satisfy the Indonesian documentation requirements can suffer from severe penalties. Nevertheless, when related parties can understand that TP is a continuous process, they will eventually be able to minimise risks related to taxes in Indonesia.
