Are you US citizen ?Morning guys
Just open a bank account and after I went back to my home they call me to come back .
They wanted me to fill in a crs form ,something about reporting tax to my home country.
Anyone had to do that before ?
No I'm not .There was a attachment with it wich include 110 countries.Are you US citizen ?
What bank was it?No I'm not .There was a attachment with it wich include 110 countries.
They say it was for all those country not only the us.
I think its only for the US ,My country has a agrement for double taxation.
this was the first time they ask me this.
There are indeed taxation agreements between many countries.No I'm not .There was a attachment with it wich include 110 countries.
They say it was for all those country not only the us.
I think its only for the US ,My country has a agrement for double taxation.
this was the first time they ask me this.
PaninWhat bank was it?
On this website is an article "E-Cash in Indonesia: Join the Cashless Revolution" it says "If you do not have an Indonesian bank account, you can use E-Cash apps as a cashless payment alternative. It is certainly more convenient and safer than carrying cash everywhere."
In the Netherlands as far as I know there are - for now - no such apps. For obvious reasons: the tax authority cannot track your money.
My question is: can you 'hide' your money from the Indonesian tax authority on apps like e.g. OVO? Say you put 10 juta per month on OVO. Will the Indonesian tax authority track your money on OVO?
Another question is: is it safe to put money on OVO? What about privacy? OVO can track all your 'movements', right?
Didn't know that, that's why I am asking. Is the money safe on OVO? Are there cases that money was stolen?Regular OVO only allows a balance of Rp 2jt. You can upgrade to Premium (max balance 20jt) by submitting selfie + photo ID, as required by Bank Indonesia's requirement. I'm guessing at this point you become trackable by the tax office.
As for privacy: when it comes to personal data and Indonesia, assume at all times that you have zero privacy.
If there were, they didn’t communicate it.Is the money safe on OVO? Are there cases that money was stolen?
I'm guessing at this point you become trackable by the tax office.
Obviously when the (use of) NIK will replace the NPWP (if that plan ever materializes) things will change.Ive never given an npwp number to either gopay or ovo. I dont think they can track well without that.
You can top up both at Indomarket, Alfamart etc. With cash.But how do you fund your OVO? From your bank account. From which they get your passport number, kitas, npwp etc
Yes. My frustration too at the supermarkets.In practice my biggest issue with these electronic payment systems is that ‘over here’ (sorry for the borderline stigmatization) they can make a simple system complicated.
You‘d expect that it was efficient and that paying would go very fast. No way, if you buy one can of Coke Zero in an Alfamart it could take 5 minutes before you have paid and are out of the shop. Speed of the cashier’s system, employees not knowledgeable (training?) and a process with scanning barcodes and/or having to manually enter the total rupiah amount yourself don’t help.
I naively thought it would be faster than cash which can also be frustrating.
