Emerhub keeps your Indonesian company compliant: monthly tax filings, bookkeeping, financial statements, and the annual return, all handled by a local team in Jakarta. Clean books and on-time filings, without building a finance department.
Since the Coretax system went live, the tax office cross-checks your filings automatically. Getting the books right every month is no longer optional.
Running Indonesian accounting yourself means monthly tax calculations and filings, e-Faktur invoicing, withholding certificates, BPJS, and an annual return, all on a fixed calendar. Coretax now matches your VAT output, payroll, and BPJS in real time, so a mismatch gets flagged immediately.
Most foreign companies underestimate how much local finance expertise this takes, and how unforgiving the penalties are when a deadline slips.
A Jakarta accounting team takes over your books and filings. We calculate and file every monthly and annual return through Coretax, keep your records reconciled and audit-ready, and catch issues before the system does.

What foreign-owned companies ask most often before handing over their books.
Monthly tax filings, bookkeeping, financial statements, VAT and e-Faktur, the annual corporate income tax return, and tax advisory. We can run your entire Indonesian finance function, or just the parts you need. The scope and monthly fee are set during onboarding, once we've seen your transaction volume and structure.
Coretax is Indonesia's tax administration system, mandatory since January 2025. It consolidates registration, e-Faktur invoicing, withholding certificates, payment, and filing into one platform, and it cross-checks your data in real time. If your VAT output, payroll, and BPJS don't reconcile, the system flags it automatically.
This has raised the bar for bookkeeping accuracy, which is a large part of why foreign-owned companies hand the work to a local team rather than risk system-generated audit flags.
Most companies file monthly: income tax withholding (PPh 21 on payroll, and PPh 23, 26, or 4(2) on certain payments), the monthly corporate tax instalment (PPh 25), and VAT if the company is registered as a PKP. Payments are generally due by the 15th and the returns by the 20th of the following month. We handle the calculation, filing, and payment for all of them.
Both. Full-service accounting includes the bookkeeping that the tax filings depend on, since you can't file accurately without clean books. If you only need the records kept and handle tax separately, our standalone bookkeeping service is the lighter option. Most foreign-owned companies take the full service so the books and the filings stay in one place.
Yes. We regularly take on companies with a backlog or an open audit. We reconstruct the records, bring the filings current, and deal with the tax office on your behalf, then keep you compliant going forward. The sooner this is addressed the better, since late-payment interest accrues monthly and a single day late counts as a full month.
The corporate income tax rate is 22%. VAT has a statutory rate of 12%, but most domestic transactions are effectively taxed at 11%, with the full 12% applying to luxury goods. Listed companies meeting public-float conditions can qualify for a reduced corporate rate. We confirm exactly what applies to your business and build it into your filings.
