Google gets tax bill in Indonesia

@ 2016/09/21
Indonesia has said that it will chase up Google for five years of back taxes with the search giant facing a $400 million for 2015 alone.

Muhammad Haniv, head of the tax office’s special cases branch and his team raided Google’s local office in Indonesia on Monday. It thinks Google Indonesia paid less than 0.1 percent of the total income and value-added taxes it owed last year.

Google Indonesia said that it continues to cooperate with local authorities and has paid all applicable taxes. However it seems that Indonesia is ramping up tax collection to narrow its budget deficit and fund an ambitious infrastructure program. Other governments around the world are seeking to clamp down on rampant corporate tax avoidance.
