Dear Investor,
Now all companies maintaining proper accounting records are exempt from Minimum tax. To implement the new MT exemption, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (“MOEF”) issued Prakas No. 638 MEF.Prk on the Criteria of Improper Accounting Records and Procedures for Paying Minimum Tax on 4 July 2017.
The GDT will establish a committee to evaluate the accounting records of taxpayers based on the above criteria. The evaluation is to be done every two years and taxpayers will be notified of the results of the evaluation accordingly. Taxpayers can make a request to the GDT to review the committee’s evaluation if the taxpayers disagree with the committee’s decision.
