DDTC Academy and Pupuk Indonesia Hold Training on Tax Incentives

DDTC ACADEMY, in collaboration with PT Pupuk Indonesia, held an in-house training (IHT) session on various tax incentive schemes and their utilisation. The IHT was conducted offline at Pupuk Indonesia’s office in Jakarta on Thursday (30/10/2025).

The session featured speakers from DDTC’s Fiscal Research & Advisory team, including Manager Denny Visaro, Senior Specialist, Syadesa Anida Herdona and Specialist, Muhammad Farrel Arkan.

All three are experienced professionals in providing advisory services and assistance to companies seeking to utilise tax facilities in relation to investments.

A total of 24 IHT participants, ranging from staff to vice president level across Pupuk Indonesia’s affiliated companies, attended the training. The programme was designed to strengthen human resource capacity in understanding the provisions, procedures as well as strategies for optimising tax incentives.

During the session, the speakers comprehensively explained various tax incentive schemes, including tax holidays, tax allowances, investment allowances, super deductions, value added tax (VAT) and import duty exemptions as well as incentives tailored to specific regional status.

The speakers also provided an overview of the implementation of the global minimum tax in Indonesia. This topic is particularly relevant as the global minimum tax poses challenges to the effective utilisation of tax incentives.

Participants showed strong enthusiasm, as reflected in the numerous questions raised throughout the session, leading to dynamic discussions. This highlights the importance of preparing human resources to enable companies to optimize available tax incentives.

For those interested in organising a similar training program, requests for personalised training can be submitted through the DDTC Academy website. In addition to IHT, the IHT-Advisory scheme is also worth considering.

On another note, the IHT-Advisory scheme is specifically designed to provide training based on case studies relevant to the participating company. Through this approach, participants can gain insights directly applicable to their organisation.

Training materials are developed based on advisory documents, making this scheme a fundamental first step in enabling companies to independently address tax challenges. The advisory outcomes can also be replicated for subsequent tax years.
