The Income Tax Bill (RUU PPh) has been officially passed into law. Thus, income tax calculations for both corporate and individual taxpayers will refer to this law, which will take effect on January 1, 2009. The changes in this law are necessary to create a better economic environment. Taxpayers who do not have an NPWP (tax identification number) will be subject to higher taxes.
This was summarized in the socialization and workshop on Amendments to Law No. 36/2008 on Income Tax, which was held on Wednesday, November 26, 2008, in the Seminar Room on the 6th floor of Graha Widyatama, Widyatama University.
