It will be compensated by benefits and the multiplier effects
Bareksa.com - Industry Minister M.S. Hidayat said that the government is flexible enough to provide necessary financial incentives to potential investors, but a 30-year tax holiday is out of the question.
Hidayat was responding to a question on reports that Samsung Electronics of South Korea may revisit its plan to open up a smartphone factory in Indonesia. Samsung scrapped plans to set up a factory in Indonesia and opted for Vietnam, where it received a 30-year tax holiday. Indonesia’s longest tax break is 10 years.
