Indonesian Tax System
Can anyone give a personal experience of themselves or an authentic personal contact on a KITAS / KITAP that actually paid tax in Indonesia on income from outside Indonesia? Theories and local laws are nice to know but the REAL implementation here is more important! :cool:- IndoTom

3 Indonesian News stories this week that make me go hmmmm....
Perhaps a better approach is to ask what the standards of decency are where you live. As a westerner myself I realized later in life that the made-up and constantly evolving rules of decency in the "WEST" may not be the utopia we believe. What makes a statue of a topless woman normal to display...- IndoTom

Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!
10 years ago I remember driving home from the Punchuck pass mountain back roads and eventually came out back to civilization 2 hours later near the Sentul toll road. It was quite a scenic drive, passing by resort areas and open spaces that I never see from the main road up the mountain. My wife...- IndoTom

NPWP and filing
Is there a reason that you need such a large sum of money in an Indonesian bank? I'm not saying it's not safe, but maybe it's safer back in your home country. Perhaps you could just transfer the majority of it back overseas to your home country and use an ATM when needing cash.- IndoTom

I can take the heat, its the humidity that gets on your nerves. At least Indonesia has a few mountains to cool off at when you need a break.- IndoTom

Home Protection & Self Defence.
People that have nothing nor believe in nothing may do as they wish thinking there is nothing to loose. That's a hard thing to counter with security devices. The law of the jungle prevailes. As others pointed out, social engineering may be your best option at this point. Find something that...- IndoTom

Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!
My wife likes Sentul a lot and found a quite nice villa to call home. Now just the rental paperwork to complete so we can start transporting out stuff to Indo via several flights back and forth between KL and Jakarta. Luckily Malindo Air business class fares can be quite a bargan, starting at...- IndoTom

Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In!
What's old, is new again. Einstein said that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result". Yes you probably have guessed what my ranting means... I will most likely be moving back to Indonesia again soon. My current adventure, "Living in Malaysia", while it...- IndoTom

Nasi
Before you complain about Indonesia rice (nasi), let me tell you how horrible Malaysian rice tastes! It's like rice that is 5 years past its expiration date and then cooked with a cold fusion process. :doh:- IndoTom

Home Protection & Self Defence.
Deterance and alarms to notify you before a criminal gets into the house is my recommendation. Once a criminal gets into your house a physical confrontation could occur ending badly for someone. Simple things such as outside motion activated lights, night infrared cameras to identify the...- IndoTom
