The Foreign Investors’ Guide to Monthly Tax & Legal Compliance

Once your PT PMA is established in Indonesia, the work isn’t over.

Each month, your company must submit various reports and stay compliant with accounting, tax, and legal obligations. If you skip or delay these requirements, you risk fines, NIB revocation, or worse — becoming flagged as non-operational by the Indonesian government.

What is monthly compliance?

Monthly compliance refers to the required reporting and filings that your company must complete each month, even if you're not yet generating revenue.

These include:

  • VAT reporting (if registered)
  • Income tax prepayments
  • BPJS reporting for employees
  • Payroll compliance
  • Withholding tax submission
  • Bookkeeping and documentation

Who needs to file monthly reports?

Every PT PMA must submit monthly tax and payroll reports to remain in good standing — regardless of activity level.

If your company is dormant, you still need to file a Nihil (zero) report to show compliance.

What happens if I don’t file?

Failing to file your monthly reports can lead to:

  • Fines and late penalties
  • Deregistration of your NPWP (tax ID)
  • Risk of your company being marked inactive
  • Trouble renewing licences or visas in the future
  • Delays or rejections during audits or due diligence

What does SAS include in monthly services?

At Smart Advisory Solutions, our monthly compliance package includes:

  • Accurate bookkeeping
  • Monthly tax filings
  • Payroll calculations and payslips
  • BPJS registration and reporting
  • Timely reminders and reports you can actually understand

Why choose a professional team?

Many local agents simply file taxes — but don’t review your data, offer advice, or correct issues. At SAS, we take a consultative approach, helping you:

  • Understand your numbers
  • Avoid tax risks
  • Stay compliant with Indonesian law

Monthly compliance isn’t just paperwork — it’s the foundation of a healthy business.

It proves to the government (and potential investors or buyers) that your company is active, transparent, and operating legally.

Let Smart Advisory Solutions take it off your plate — so you can focus on growing your business.
