“For SMEs or seller online, NPWP registration can be done through tax.go.id. For assistance and consultation on tax calculation, you can contact the registered KKP or @kring_pajak. At KKP there is also a BDS (Business Development Service) training program for business actors,” wrote the DGT.
Quoted from the DGT’s official website, MSME actors, including online sellers with a maximum turnover of IDR 4.8 billion, are subject to a 0.5% tariff. This rate has decreased from the previous one of 1%.
This rate change is contained in Government Regulation (PP) Number 23 of 2018 concerning Income Tax on Income from Businesses Received or Obtained by Taxpayers with Certain Gross Circulation. The Government Regulation replaces the previous regulation, namely Government Regulation (PP) Number 46 of 2013.

The requirements needed when registering a TIN (entrepreneur) include a photocopy of the Identity Card, a photocopy of a Business Certificate or also called an SKU from the kelurahan or department related to the line of business being carried out, a photocopy of the Family Card (mandatory if the person registering is the wife) .
