The government finally released detailed rules regarding the provision of tax facilities in the Nusantara Capital City and partner regions, namely certain areas on the Kalimantan island formed as IKN economic superhubs.
The provision mentioned is the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 28 of 2024 which takes effect on 16 May 2024.
One of the facilities offered in the regulation, which is a derivative regulation of Government Regulation (PP) Number 12 of 2023, is a tax exemption incentive of up to 100% of the amount of tax payable to domestic taxpayers.
This facility is often referred to as Tax Holiday. However, Tax Holiday is actually not a new incentive in Indonesia. Previously, through PMK Number 130 of 2020, the government also offered tax exemptions for business activities in Indonesia.

In general, companies entitled to Tax Holiday incentives in IKN consist of companies engaged in infrastructure and public services, companies in the economic revitalization sector (usaha bangkitan ekonomi), and other business sectors.
Longer Tenor
However, specifically for business activities in IKN, the government provides several advantages, such as a longer duration or period, which is a maximum of 30 years from the existing provisions which are a maximum of only 20 years.
In addition, to obtain a Tax Holiday in IKN, companies only need to invest a minimum of IDR 10 billion. This amount is smaller than the Tax Holiday facility that applies outside IKN, which is a minimum of IDR 100 billion.
The Tax Holiday period will depend on the taxpayer realizing the investment. The faster the realization, the longer the tax exemption is given.
In this regard, the government divides the tenor of Tax Holidays into three groups, except for other business sectors.

Application Procedure
To obtain this Tax Holiday facility, the company must first have obtained a business license in Indonesia from the OSS system. Later, the OSS system will scrutinize to ensure that the Taxpayer has met the set criteria.
Furthermore, the OSS system will send a notification to the Taxpayer, whether they have met the criteria or not. After receiving a notification stating they have met the criteria and requirements, the company can only apply for a Tax Holiday facility in IKN through the OSS system.
The application is submitted before the company operates commercially, not more than one year after the business license is issued. It should be noted that when applying, the company must upload documents in the form of a list of tangible fixed assets in the investment value plan. (ASP/ALF/KEN)
