Classification of Individual Income Tax Types
The imposition of Income Tax on an Individual’s Income can be classified into 3 categories:
Income which is a Tax Object withholding Final Income Tax (Article 4(2))
Income which is an object of non-final income tax (Article 4(1)) includes net income which is calculated using the norms
Income that is not a Tax Object (Article 4 paragraph (3))
Calculation of Net Income
The method of calculating net income is to calculate all income received or earned in a fiscal year, except for income that is not an object of tax and income that has been subject to Final Income Tax.
If an individual taxpayer works, the net income can be seen in the withholding tax receipt (Form 1721) provided by the employer to the employee.
If an individual taxpayer conducts business and independent work, the net income earned in one year can be determined from the results of bookkeeping. For individual taxpayers whose income is more than IDR 4.8 billion, they are required to keep books of account based on applicable accounting standards. For individual taxpayers whose income is up to IDR 4.8 billion, they can choose to do bookkeeping. In addition, the individual taxpayer can calculate net income using the norm by previously notifying the letter of use of the norm to the registered KPP no later than 3 months after the end of the tax year.
For individual MSME taxpayers who do business with an income of up to IDR 4.8 billion, the income is subject to MSME Final Income Tax. So that the said income is not combined with other net income.

IDR4,500,000.00 (four million five hundred thousand rupiahs) additional for married Taxpayers;
IDR54,000,000.00 (fifty-four million rupiahs) additional for a wife whose income is combined with the husband's income as referred to in Article 8 paragraph (1); and

The amount of non-taxable income is determined from the conditions at the beginning of the tax year or the beginning of the tax year portion.
