      Opportunities for your company

      Current changes in the global economy have forced companies to look for new business undertakings. In response, some Japanese companies have chosen to either set up business in or outsource certain operations to Indonesia. The Japanese Business Desk at KPMG Indonesia is committed to helping Japanese companies start and successfully develop their business while adapting to changing market conditions and local regulatory requirements.

      Our accounting, tax and advisory services are designed to help clients, with their own unique circumstances and needs, successfully manage operations in Indonesia. Our services are executed by a multidisciplinary group of both Japanese and Indonesian professionals who have deep industry experience and continually undergo rigorous KPMG training.  

      We understand the requirements and intricacies of the relationships between Indonesia operations and parent companies with their global affiliates. That is why we work closely with the KPMG International member firms in Japan and around the world, in order to provide seamless trans-border services. 

      Tax and Audit

      Supporting Japanese companies with tax compliance, risk management, and audit excellence in Indonesia’s complex market

      Many Japanese companies in Indonesia lack in-house tax personnel. We provide guidance to your organization on the interpretation of local tax laws, tax planning and preparing tax returns in accordance with Indonesian requirements. 

      We assist many clients responding to tax assessments from the Indonesian Tax Office. KPMG can provide assistance  by helping you prepare protests and, in most cases, representing your company at appeals. We serve as your advocate, sounding board and research facility for your in-house tax personnel. 

      We provide assistance with transfer pricing studies and planning, advanced pricing agreements and negotiations with both Indonesian and Japanese tax authorities. KPMG Indonesia’s transfer pricing professionals have experience advising Japanese companies on these complex issues. 

      In the era of on-going globalization, the proper application of the customs law is one of the principle factors contributing to a business’s final success.

      Our services include:  

      • Analysis of planning and support in implementing optimal import and export structures.
      • Reviews to help ensure compliance with customs.
      • VAT and excise tax regulations.
      • Full representation in disputes with the Costume Office.  

      KPMG’s global Audit Methodology (KAM) provides robust, high-quality audit services applied on a consistent basis worldwide. This ensures that our work meets the high standards demanded by clients, regulators and the public.
