What is Suryadi & Rekan ?

Your tax consultants
We live in the information age. For any business seeking to be competitive and remain sustainable, access to accurate information is more crucial than ever before. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, companies must abide by the law, but without easy access to a central repository of laws, obtaining correct legal information is not easy. And even when such information is available, frequent revisions, amendments and annulments make it difficult to know whether it is correct and up to date.

Tax management is one of the most important and difficult issues for companies doing business in Indonesia. The Indonesia taxation system is very complex due to the lack of legislative precision and the unforgiving self-assessment system which puts its reliance on the corporate tax payer to do the tax collection through the extensive withholding tax requirements.

The top priority at SURYADI & REKAN is to minimize your business and personal tax exposures by legitimate planning and by being aware of the changing requirement of the taxation system.

With committed to your success mission, we are making every effort to help our clients achieve their goal and objectives efficiently, and economically.
