So, how is the entry tax calculated for the iPhone 15 from Singapore?

The Directorate General of Customs and Excise at the Ministry of Finance explains on its official website that the tax or import duty that consumers must bear is 10 percent of the customs value. Then, Value Added Tax (VAT) is 11 percent of the import value.

Buyers are also subject to import Income Tax (PPh) Article 22 of 10 percent of the import value, in the event that passengers or crew members of the transport facility have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP).

However, consumers are set to reduce the customs value of imported imported goods by USD 500. So that shopping goods with a value above USD 500 are exempt from tax with the same value, USD 500.

The price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB announced by Apple is USD 1,599, or the equivalent of IDR 24.7 million. The following is a simulation of the entry tax calculation:

Value subject to tax levy: USD 1,599 – 500 = USD 1,099 tax rate (latest data from the Fiscal Policy Agency of the Ministry of Finance): Rp. 15,469 Customs Value: USD 1,099 x Tax Rate (Rp. 15,469) = rounded 17,000,000 Import Duty: 10 percent x Customs Value = IDR 1,700,000 Import Value: Customs Value + Import Duty = IDR 18,700,000 VAT: 11 percent x Import Value = IDR 2,057,000 (rounded to IDR 2,000,000) PPh: 10 percent x Import Value = 1,870. 000 Total bill: Import Duty (Rp. 1,700,000) + VAT (Rp. 2,000,000) + PPh (Rp. 1,870,000) = Rp. 5,570,000

In total, David Gadgetin had to spend IDR 24.7 million plus entrance tax of IDR 5.5 million. Thus, the price of the iPhone 15 is equivalent to IDR 30.2 million.
