TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER or NPWP - DEREGISTRATION

1.   What if the taxpayer is leaving Indonesia permanently or has applied for an Exit Permit Only to the Immigration Office?

A taxpayer should state in writing that an Exit Permit Only (EPO) will be forwarded to the tax office where he is registered, so that the tax office will not issue a tax collection letter due to non filling or non payment of the monthly Article 25 income tax.

a.  Exit Permit Only (EPO)

b. Statement from the employer stating that a taxpayer’s contract in Indonesia has ended (for a taxpayer who is an employee)

c.  Cancellation of business permit letter (for a tax payer who is conducting business or is an independent professional)

d.   Power of attorney (if his/her deregistration process is handled by another party)

e.   Original copy of taxpayer identification number card

Before forwarding the EPO, the taxpayer should fulfill other tax obligation such as:

a.  Pay any tax due which has not been paid.

b. File an annual individual tax return for the year of departure, by providing a close approximation of his/her global income.

c.  File applications for deregistration of NPWP.
