    Paragraph (1)
    Subparagraph a
    The net income reduction incentive of 30% (thirty per cent) of the Investment value is provided in stages over 6 (six) years, namely 5% (five per cent) annually of the total Investment value in the form of acquisition of tangible fixed assets, including land, used for Main Business.
     
    This incentive reduces net income (if accruing business profits) or increases tax losses (if accruing business losses).
     
    Example:
    PT A performs an Investment of IDR100,000,000,000 (one hundred billion) in the form of purchasing fixed assets in the form of land, buildings and machinery. PT A may be given a net income reduction incentive of 30% (thirty per cent) x IDR100,000,000,000.- (one hundred billion) = IDR30,000,000,000.- (thirty billion). The expensing is carried out evenly annually for 6 (six) years or expensed by IDR5,000,000,000.- (five billion) per year.

    Subparagraph c
    Example:
    An investor from state X receives dividends from a resident corporate Taxpayer that has been determined eligible for the facilities pursuant to this Government Regulation. If investor X is domiciled in a country that does not yet have a Tax Treaty (P3B) with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia or is domiciled in a country that already has a Tax Treaty with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia with a dividend tax rate for Non-Resident Taxpayers of 10% (ten per cent) or more, the dividend is only subject to Income Tax in Indonesia of 10% (ten per cent).
     
    However, if investor X is domiciled in a country that already has a Tax Treaty with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia with a dividend tax rate lower than 10% (ten per cent), the dividend is subject to Income Tax in Indonesia according to the rate stipulated under the Tax Treaty.
    Subparagraph d
    Pursuant to the provisions under Article 6 paragraph (2) of Law Number 36 of 2008 concerning the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 7 of 1983 concerning Income Tax, tax losses in a tax year may be set off against profits accrued in the following 5 (five) tax years.
     
    To encourage Investment, the carry-forward period for such losses may be longer than 5 (five) years but not more than 10 (ten) years. The additional loss carry-forward may be given if that the provisions referred to in this paragraph are fulfilled.
     
    “Social infrastructure” refers to facilities and infrastructure for the public interest and non-commercial.
     
    “Adding a minimum of 300 (three hundred) or 600 (six hundred) Indonesian workers” refers to the addition of a new workforce of a minimum of 300 (three hundred) or 600 (six hundred) workers as of the decision on the approval of the granting of Income Tax facilities, which may be fulfilled in stages and the minimum number of workers must be maintained for a period of 4 (four) consecutive years.
