In the existing regulation, the government set four layers of income for calculating income tax. Meanwhile, the Bill sets out five layers.
Here are the details:
- Up to Rp 50 million: five percent income tax rate.
- Rp 50 million-Rp 250 million: 15 percent income tax rate.
- Rp 250 million-Rp 500 million: 25 percent income tax rate.
- Rp 500 million-Rp 5 billion: 30 percent income tax rate.
