New Regulation 49/2025: As of 2026, all PT PMAs are now required to submit notarized Annual Reports (GMS Approval) via the SABH system.

Possibili sviluppi PT PMA (OPINIONE)

Capitale ridotto per settore tech - Si discute di una possibile riduzione del requisito di capitale minimo (attualmente IDR 10 miliardi) per startup tecnologiche e servizi digitali. Alcuni ritengono potrebbe scendere a IDR 2.5-5 miliardi. Solo discussione, nessuna conferma.
Negative Investment List semplificata - C'è discussione su ulteriori aperture settoriali per investitori stranieri, specialmente in educazione, sanità e logistica. Nessun annuncio ufficiale.
One-stop registration - Si discute di un processo ancora più integrato che combinerebbe notaio, Kemenkumham, NPWP e OSS in un unico flusso. Solo speculazione.
Virtual company per freelancer - Alcuni esperti discutono di una possibile struttura aziendale semplificata per freelancer stranieri, senza i requisiti completi di PT PMA. Non confermato.
Incentivi zona economica speciale - Si discute di possibili incentivi aggiuntivi (tax holiday, capitale ridotto) per PT PMA che si stabiliscono nelle Zone Economiche Speciali (KEK). In fase di valutazione.
