Is Indonesian Workers (TKI) must have a Tax Identification Number TIN?

Maybe there are still many workers who asked about the tax treatment in Indonesia, especially for Indonesian Workers (TKI) working in Foreign Affairs. Because of this during the tax treatment in Indonesia suggests that tax cuts could lead to tax cuts twice (once on Foreign Affairs and once again in the Interior).

But the Director General of Taxation finally issued a Regulation of the Director General of Taxation Number PER - 2/PJ/2009 About the Income Tax Treatment of Indonesian Workers Abroad which asserts that citizens who work abroad for more than 183 days are treated Foreign Taxpayers

And what about the TIN? Should a worker making TIN?
In Article 2 paragraph 1 of Law No. 28 Year 2007 on the Third Amendment Act No. 6 of 1983 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures states that each taxpayer who has met the requirements of the subjective and objective in accordance with the provisions of the tax legislation must register themselves at the office of Directorate General of Taxes whose jurisdiction covers the place of residence or domicile taxpayers and given the Taxpayer Identification Number.

In addition, as mentioned above that the workers are treated as foreign taxpayers when living abroad for more than 183 days, so they are not subject to income tax in Indonesia.

So with 2 rules mentioned can be concluded that workers who work abroad do not need to create a TIN. But many are making TIN for the purpose of fiscal free facility.

Eating at street vendors is taxed 10 percent

SURABAYA - SURYA-The customer stalls alongside a road (street vendors) must be prepared to spend more in because the price of each food on street vendors will be added tax of 10 percent.

This policy applies if the draft Regional Regulation (draft) on regional tax approved by the DPRD Surabaya.

In the draft regulations were written that the street vendors are included in restaurant tax object, just like restaurants, cafeterias, canteens, shops, depots, bars, hawker center, bakery, and catering. This means that vendors must pay a 10 percent restaurant tax.
Street vendors are subject to tax is a sales turnover equal to or more than Rp 1 million per month.

However, this provision immediately rejected the Chairman of the DPRD Surabaya FPKS Fatkur Rohman. According to him, the categorization street vendors in the restaurant is not subject to tax in accordance with Law 28/2009 on Regional Taxes and Levies. "In law there is no word street vendors, only the last point recorded in the similar activities. But, this is directly interpreted as street vendors, "he said.

According Fatkur, terms turnover USD 1 million is also absurd. "My neighbor just Seller cao turnover of Rp 2.5 million per month. What ya buy cao just have to pay a tax of 10 percent, "he said.

It should, further Fatkur, if you put a new tax object of academic study completed manuscript. But an academic paper that there is no explaining this. This categorization was not in accordance with Law 20/2008 on MSMEs.

MSME Act mentioned in the definition of micro, if the turnover per year USD 300 million per month or USD 25 million. "Lha is USD 1 million are taxed, but can not be classified as micro enterprises. So very lame at all, "criticism of former Chairman of the DPC PKS Surabaya.

According to him, in addition to burdening the street vendors, 10 percent tax burden on consumers is also street vendors who average lower middle income people. Because of this community that will directly affected by the tax. "We will fight for this provision be removed," he promised.

Surabaya DPRD Chairman Vishnu Ward also directly reject this provision. Vishnu promised to ask the special committee strike out this provision. According to him, very unfair if the street vendors that their income to Rp 30,000 per day should be burdened with taxes. "Street vendors were able to live alone is good, why is actually taxed. 'll Actually could increase unemployment.

Soon I will ask for the special committee rejected this, "he said.

Confirmed Separately, Head of Local Tax Revenue Joes Tamadji say, investments in tax objects restaurant street vendors because there has been fierce competition among vendors with a restaurant or a restaurant. The implementation of this tax based on the principle of justice.

Joes hope this addition could increase tax revenue from restaurants. By the end of September 2011 tax revenue from restaurants was 71 percent from 117 billion target. "With the addition of the tax object, the target revenue would be enlarged," explained Joes.

Separate Tri Rismaharini Surabaya Mayor when addressing the plenary council asserted, the enactment of tax based on the principle of justice and street vendors have been adapted to MSEs city of Surabaya.

Related to this policy, the Chairman of the Indonesian Association of sidewalk vendors (APKLI) Java Abdullah Ahmad Rival states refused, before there is recognition of the existence of street vendors in Surabaya. He also rejected equating the street vendors to restaurants because he thinks that not all conditions are the same vendors. Even the street vendors that turnover of Rp 1 million and above any condition is still uncertain.

"If vendors equated with the restaurant, it became clear that the city government does not promote empowerment. In fact, such as legalized extortion. Cook coffee and tea sellers willing to pull 10 percent, "he said.

Tax-boarding Kos

Not only street vendors, kos-kosan also will be taxed 5 per cent. Especially with more than 10 rooms.

It is also questionable because generally Fatkur kos-kosan more than 10 rooms inhabited by lower middle income people.

There is VAT on the Restaurant Bon??

After finishing a meal at a restaurant my food bill is presented in feeding what 10% of taxable?? of the total bill which is on the food bill.

Actually this is misleading as usual I encountered everywhere, 10% restaurant tax is always in the mean with VAT. I do not know who is wrong, who do not socialize DGT this problem or the revenue is not too concerned as long as current tax payments. Parties are entitled to collect PB1 this restaurant after signing up to the local revenue and then usually as a collector PB1 pressed it to his customers.
Supposed to be here, the Revenue checks issued by the restaurant bill and substitute the word VAT.

In accordance with Article 4a VAT Act, the sale of food and beverages are not subject to VAT so that VAT is not affected because it is the Regional Tax. On the other hand restribusi Local Tax Law and Article 2, the Local Government Level 2 is entitled to levy a tax of 10% of the food bill as income for the area.

What is dangerous is that, if the restaurateur who is not entitled to collect this PB1 then enter the VAT of 10% is in the bill and never pay the taxes that picked up the results of this to any party whatsoever. In this case, both consumers and the country becomes the disadvantaged.

In such cases, of course, the DGT can not do anything about it because it really is a party to crack down on tax revenue because the object is an object of level 2 local taxes. Another thing if employers Simplified Tax Invoices issued to the buyer, and based on UU KUP Article 39A, the employer may be subject to imprisonment for a minimum of 2 (two) years and a maximum of 6 (six) years and fine of at least 2 (two) times the amount of tax in the tax invoice, proof of tax collection, tax withholding evidence, and / or proof of tax payments and no more than 6 (six) times the amount of tax in the tax invoice, proof of tax collection, tax withholding evidence, and / or proof of tax payments.

BAZNAS : Zakat For Tax Deduction

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, YOGYAKARTA - The National Chairman of Amil Zakat (Baznas) KH Didier Hafidhuddin hope the government and Parliament can adopt the idea that the payment of zakat could be a reduction of tax to be paid citizens. It deals with the revision of Law No. 38/1999 on Management of Zakat.

According to Didier, by adopting this thinking in Indonesian legislation, the government by itself can have its own convenience, because sesesorang tax liability will be more transparent.

''I believe that by adopting this thinking, government tax revenues will increase, because ultimately how much tax liability a person would be detected by looking at the first he has paid zakat,''said Didier KH, Thursday (30 / 9), on the sidelines of the implementation of the World Zakat Forum at the Hotel Inna Garuda, Yogyakarta.
Didier said the Muslim zakat liability is 2.5 percent of its wealth. ''Well if people were to pay zakat as Rp 10 million, will be known at least that person has a wealth of 40 times the amount of zakat money,''he said.

According to Didier, Baznas already have the concepts and a number of technical instructions if necessary, if this rule can be realized. One example, he said, could have a revenue officer will also be collecting Zakat. ''We will put forward new technical concepts, when the House have said they would approve of this idea,''he explained.

Didier said, on 10 October Baznas and management institutions of zakat in Indonesia scheduled to meet President Yudhoyono. Insyaallah'', we will convey this idea in the meeting,''said Didier.

According to him, the actual tax reduction with the payment of zakat has been successfully done in Malaysia. ''In a country that has been proven there was no reduction in state tax opinion with the applicable rules,''said Didier.

Didier said, what happens is the opposite, in Malaysia can be seen a correlation increased tax payments of citizens, with the increase of zakat paid citizens.

Didier disclosed, further, the government also will be helped because of zakat funds can be used for poverty alleviation programs. ''If it is not necessarily tax funds for poverty reduction, can be used for infrastructure and other development,''he said.
