JAKARTA, Sept 8— Indonesia today added 12 more companies, including social media firm Twitter and video-conferencing site Zoom, to a list of internet-based businesses that must pay a 10 per cent value-added tax on sales. Governments globally are seeking to ensure that internet-based tech giants are paying their fair share of taxes. Indonesia’s moves come amid a shift to more online business with increased remote working during the coronavirus and as the pandemic has hit government finances.
The Indonesian tax office also put game developer Mojang AB, streaming platforms Novi Digital Entertainment and PCCW Vuclip on the list, as well as digital marketplaces Jingdong Indonesia Pertama and Shopee International Indonesia.The companies were not immediately available to comment.
