Hotel & Hospitality Tax
The hotel and hospitality industry is subject to Certain Goods and Services Tax (PBJT) of 10% on hospitality services collected by the local government, not central VAT. However, complexity arises from service charges distributed to employees that must be withheld for Article 21 Income Tax. Arunika Consulting helps hotels manage central and local tax obligations in an integrated manner.
Important Note
This industry needs careful tax compliance monitoring. Make sure all obligations are fulfilled on time.
