Batik Industry Tax
The Indonesian batik industry has complex tax potential due to the combination of direct retail sales, wholesale to distributors, and batik product exports. As a UNESCO cultural heritage, the batik industry also receives various tax incentives that need to be optimally utilized. VAT on raw materials (cotton cloth, dyes, wax) and finished product sales requires careful management. Arunika Consulting helps batik industry actors optimize tax obligations while utilizing all available incentives.
