Palm Oil Plantation Tax
The Indonesian palm oil industry faces a unique tax landscape with specific levies (PSDKP), VAT on CPO and processed products, and income tax for farmers and plantation companies. The palm oil levy of IDR 50/kg CPO is a significant additional burden. Additionally, highly volatile CPO prices directly affect tax calculations. Arunika Consulting helps palm oil farmers, nucleus companies, and palm oil mills (PKS) manage all tax obligations optimally.
