Dividend tax in Indonesia 2026
Reinvest your Indonesian dividends at home for at least 3 years and the tax is 0%; keep the cash and a 10% final tax falls due, paid by you by the 15th of the following month.
Foreign dividends can be exempt too — fully for listed companies, and for unlisted ones if at least 30% of the after-tax profit comes back to Indonesia.
