What VAT rate really applies in Indonesia now, and why do so many people say 12% when ordinary transactions still feel like 11%?
I want the practical Indonesian VAT answer for 2026. Please explain the post-2025 position properly, including the formal 12% rate, the 11/12 tax-base mechanism for non-luxury goods and services, and the monthly filing deadline because that is where the compliance burden shows up.

I want the real Indonesia answer, not a one-line rate card. Please explain the current 22% corporate income tax rate, why Article 25 installments mean companies live with tax every month, and when the small-company reduction actually matters instead of being used as a generic startup talking point.
What personal income tax rate applies in Indonesia now, and why are older bracket summaries often wrong?
I need the current Indonesian individual-tax answer, not an old explainer. Please explain the live Article 17 resident brackets, why the 35% top rate does not mean everyone faces 35%, and how the March annual return deadline fits into the actual personal-tax workflow.
What tax deadlines matter most in Indonesia for individuals, companies and monthly taxes?
I need the operational Indonesian answer, not a generic 'file on time' reminder.
