Jurisdiction Overview: Indonesia
Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, with a rapidly growing domestic market and a population exceeding 270 million people. Company registration in Indonesia provides access to one of the region’s most dynamic consumer markets and allows businesses to benefit from the government’s focus on digitalization and industrial development.
The primary vehicle for foreign investors is the PT PMA structure (foreign-owned limited liability company). This format allows up to 100% foreign ownership in most business sectors that are not subject to negative or restricted lists and is registered through the unified OSS / OSS-RBA system, under the supervision of the Ministry of Investment (BKPM).
Indonesia’s tax system is competitive: the standard corporate income tax rate is 22%, while small and medium-sized businesses may benefit from reduced effective tax rates. For selected priority sectors, including manufacturing, export-oriented businesses, digital technologies, logistics, and agribusiness: tax holidays and additional incentives may apply.
Thanks to the combination of a large domestic market, active investment promotion programs, and ongoing compliance and regulatory reforms, Indonesia has become one of the key ASEAN jurisdictions for companies operating in e-commerce, fintech, manufacturing, logistics, and service industries.

Thanks to Finextwin for their professionalism. We registered a U.S. company for marketplace operations, and everything was done remotely. We've already entered the American market - all thanks to Finextwin's help.
I needed help with an Anjouan license for a new online casino project. A colleague referred me to Finextwin, and I’m glad they did. Everything was organized quickly, I received a clear list of documents, and they handled all communication with the regulator. We had the license in just 3 weeks. Great support throughout.
