The government issued Government Regulation No. 9/2022 on the Second Amendment to Government Regulation No. 51/2008 on Income Tax on Income from Construction Services Business. It aimed at providing legal certainty and convenience in the imposition of income tax (PPh) on income from the construction service business.
In addition, the amendment was to support a more conducive construction sector business climate and help construction sector entrepreneurs affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The amendment includes tariff adjustments and additional categories of new income tax rates on construction services.
