WhatsApp quoteExcise Tax Registration is registering for excise tax on tobacco, energy drinks, carbonated drinks and sweetened beverages, and it applies to importers, producers and stockpilers of excise goods, and operators of excise warehouses. Getting Excise Tax Registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. Importantly, the most common businesses Indonesians open through GoldenKey are in halal food, furniture, hospitality and palm oil, although Excise Tax Registration supports almost any activity. Indonesians are a growing community in hospitality, aviation, trading and halal products, so the Excise Tax Registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Indonesian applications every day and process them without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions
Does Excise Tax Registration apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
As a rule, only if you intend to import, produce or stockpile excise goods; registration should be completed before the first transaction.
What happens if I miss the Excise Tax Registration deadline?
For most clients, late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
Is Excise Tax Registration mandatory for a free zone company?
To be clear, excise registration depends on the goods, not the jurisdiction. A free zone company importing or stockpiling excise goods must register, and designated-zone warehousing requires its own approval.
Can a Indonesian citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes — Indonesians can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Indonesia join me?
Once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
