Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati on Thursday (10/18) unveiled the implementation of Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) Number 35/PMK.010/2018 on Reduction of Corporate Income Tax.
The regulation amends the previous regulations, PMK 130/2011 and PMK 159/2015, and aims to simplify tax holiday process.
“The (tax holiday) facility launched in 2015 cannot be applied (to the corporate). Thus, we begin to think that the policy is not working well enough. Therefore, weve made a radical change (through the PMK 35/2018). The regulation significantly simplifies the process. Directorate General of Taxation will only make the assessment after the corporations run the business,” Sri Mulyani explained.
The aforementioned regulation, she added, has provided a good result since its issuance in April 2018.
“In just six months, eight taxpayers have got the tax holiday. The total investment from the eight taxpayers is Rp.163.3 trillion, which is very significant. This is a very good result,” Sri Mulyani said. For the record, the tax holiday regulated in PMK 35/2018 includes:
- 100% tax holiday without range;
