President Joko Widodo’s administration had revised a president decree on income tax for listed companies on August 3, to encourage more local companies to list in the local bourse.

The President had signed into effect Government Regulation No 56/2015, that allows eligible companies to pay a 20 per cent corporate income tax. Currently, the corporate income tax rate stands at 25 per cent.

The new regulation is expected to boost the capital market as a source of financing for Indonesia-based businesses, as well increase the number of listed companies and public ownership in listed companies.

Companies must have at least 300 investors and have 40 per cent of its shares floated on the stock market to be eligible for the tax cut, which came into effect on Aug 4. The Finance Ministry will soon issue related guidelines to implement the corporate tax income discount. (*)
