Restaurant & F&B Tax
in Palembang
Restaurant and F&B businesses in Indonesia face complex and unique tax obligations. Since Law HKPD No. 1/2022 took effect, restaurants must collect Certain Goods and Services Tax (PBJT) on food/beverages of 10% paid to the local government, replacing the old Restaurant Tax system. Additionally, restaurants must manage Income Tax on business income which can use PP 55/2022 scheme (0.5% Final Tax for SMEs) or general rates. With high daily transactions, many cash payments, and integration with various online delivery platforms, disciplined recording is crucial for accurate tax reporting and avoiding penalties. Arunika Consulting has experience helping hundreds of restaurants in various cities across Indonesia navigate central and local tax regulations efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Must restaurants collect 11% VAT?
No. Food/beverages served in restaurants are exempt from central VAT according to VAT Law. Instead, restaurants collect PBJT (Certain Goods and Services Tax) of 10% paid to the local government. Restaurants must also have NPWPD (Regional Taxpayer Identification Number).
When must a restaurant switch from 0.5% Final Tax to general rate?
Restaurants must switch to general rate Income Tax with full bookkeeping if: (1) Annual gross turnover exceeds IDR 4.8 Billion, or (2) Already 7 years using PP 55/2022 scheme since first year using final rate. This transition requires careful planning to avoid penalties.
What is PBJT reporting procedure for restaurants with branches in different cities?
PBJT is reported and paid to each respective local government of the restaurant branch location. Each branch needs its own NPWPD. Meanwhile, corporate Income Tax remains reported centrally based on central NPWP with consolidated reports from all branches.
Is income from GoFood, GrabFood, and ShopeeFood subject to the same tax?
Yes. Income from online delivery platforms remains business income of the restaurant subject to Income Tax. For PBJT, usually the platform already collects and pays to the local government, but the restaurant must ensure and report it. Make sure you have payment proof from the platform.
What expenses can be deducted from restaurant income?
Deductible expenses include: cost of raw materials (COGS), employee salaries, rent, utilities (electricity, water, gas), marketing costs, kitchen equipment depreciation, and other operational expenses directly related to the business. Make sure to have complete transaction proof.
