On the 4th of June, EuroCham Indonesia attended a seminar, hosted by SwedCham Indonesia, on the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax (BEPS Pillar 2) and its implications for international businesses operating in Indonesia. The session was presented by Ihsan Muttaqien of EY Indonesia and provided participants with practical insights into the evolving international tax landscape, Indonesia’s implementation approach, and the implications for multinational companies operating in the region.

The seminar explored how the 15 percent Global Minimum Tax may affect corporate structures, tax incentives, compliance obligations, financial reporting, and investment strategies. Particular attention was given to Indonesia’s regulatory developments and the practical considerations facing businesses as implementation progresses.

EuroCham would like to extend our appreciation for SwedCham’s invitation to this insightful seminar.
