Private wealth: foundations and trusts

Asset protection starts with a permitted legal form and real governance. An owner may compare an Indonesian operating PT PMA, a regional holding vehicle, personal or corporate banking, insurance and investment solutions and a lawful foreign family structure.

03

Governance and succession

A PT PMA should evidence capital, premises, management, people and the capacity to perform its licensed activity; a formal NIB does not replace permits, tax administration and actual operations. Formation links a notarial deed, Ministry of Law approval, tax number, address, UBO disclosure and OSS; after NIB the company completes any standard certificate, verification or licence required by its risk level.

04

Banking perimeter

Corporate accounts are provided by Indonesian banks under their licences, currency capabilities and client policies; Bank Indonesia regulates payments and remittance, while OJK covers financial technology and digital financial assets. The bank reviews PT PMA, NIB and licences, owners and UBOs, source of capital and funds, KBLI, premises, people, contracts, countries, currencies and turnover; no adviser can guarantee approval.

05

Tax map

The general corporate income-tax rate is 22%; residence, permanent establishment, withholding, transfer pricing, incentives and treaty access depend on the facts. Personal tax depends on residence, source and income type; salary, dividends, investments, foreign assets and other-country obligations are assessed separately for the owner.
