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.
Is Arunika Consulting officially licensed as a tax consultant?

What should I do if I receive an SP2DK letter or tax audit notice?
Contact us early. We help analyze the risk, prepare supporting documents, draft the response, and assist discussions with the tax office.
How much tax saving can tax planning deliver?
It depends on your structure and transactions. We identify legal efficiencies, incentives, and reporting improvements without crossing into tax evasion.
