03

VAT and indirect tax

VAT after the 2025 changes requires transaction-level analysis of the statutory rate and taxable base; imports, customs, withholding, luxury-goods tax and electronic reporting are reviewed separately

04

Cross-border payments

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. 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

Evidence and control

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. A PT PMA is not a trust or private foundation; succession, nominees, UBO, matrimonial property, tax and foreign-structure recognition require analysis in all relevant family and asset countries.
