Indonesia

A. Progress in the implementation of the minimum standard

Indonesia has 69 tax agreements in force, as reported in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire.

Indonesia signed the MLI in 2017 and deposited its instrument of ratification on 28 April 2020. The MLI will enter into force for Indonesia on 1 August 2020. Indonesia has not listed its agreements with Austria, Germany, Jordan, Mongolia, Morocco, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Ukraine. These agreements will therefore not, at this stage, be modified by the MLI. Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Papua New Guinea and Ukraine have listed their agreements with Indonesia under the MLI.

Indonesia has made a reservation under the MLI that delays its entry into effect after completing its internal procedures for this purpose for each of its listed agreements.1 Indonesia had notified that it completed its internal procedures for the entry into effect of the MLI with respect to its agreements with Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, India, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Singapore, the Slovak Republic, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020.

Indonesia is implementing the minimum standard through the inclusion of the preamble statement and the PPT.2

The agreements that will be modified by the MLI will come into compliance with the minimum standard once the provisions of the MLI take effect.

B. Implementation issues

As mentioned above, Indonesia has not listed its agreements with Austria, Germany, Jordan, Mongolia, Morocco, Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Ukraine under the MLI. Listing the agreements under the MLI or entering into bilateral renegotiations to implement the minimum standard would ensure that the minimum standard could be implemented in those non-covered agreements.
