One-Person Companies and Anti-Firm-Splitting under PP 20/2026
One-person companies can still use the MSME final tax, but PP 20/2026 closes the gap where one person sets up multiple entities to keep each revenue figure below IDR 4.8 billion.
This article is based on two working references: the IKPI seminar material on Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026 and the PP 20/2026 FAQ module prepared from P2Humas FAQ materials. The official regulation is Government Regulation No. 20 of 2026, effective 22 April 2026.
Quick Take
- Revenue of the individual and all one-person companies they establish is aggregated.
- If the total exceeds IDR 4.8 billion, the facility cannot be used for the following tax year.
- Professional services cannot simply be converted into business income through a one-person company.
- Business substance matters more than legal form.
Practical Impact
- Splitting operations into multiple one-person companies becomes high risk.
- Owners need a business map showing links between entities.
- The tax authority can read patterns that indicate one economic unit.
Common Misreadings
- Do not assume each one-person company has its own isolated threshold.
- Do not use family nominees without business substance.
- Do not mix bank accounts, contracts, and operations between entities.
Action Checklist
- List all one-person companies owned by the individual.
- Calculate aggregated revenue for the last tax year.
- Document each entity’s commercial function.
- Prepare commercial justification if structures are genuinely separate.
Simple Example
An owner has personal business revenue of IDR 2 billion, Company A at IDR 1.5 billion, and Company B at IDR 1.8 billion. The total IDR 5.3 billion exceeds the threshold, creating risk that the 0.5% facility falls away in the next year.
