Seminar: Global Minimum Tax (BEPS Pillar 2) and Its Impact on International Business in Indonesia
Date: Thursday, 4 June 2026
Time: 15:00 – 17:00, followed by networking
Venue: The Summit Club
Organizer: SwedCham Indonesia
Supported by EY Indinesia, DanCham Indonesia and Indonesia Norway Business Council
Speaker: Ihsan Muttaqien from EY Indonesia
Background
The introduction of the OECD’s BEPS Pillar 2 framework represents one of the most significant changes to international corporate taxation in decades. The Global Minimum Tax aims to establish a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15% for large multinational enterprises, reshaping how governments and companies approach international taxation, investment incentives, and cross-border business structures.
For companies operating in Indonesia, the implications are substantial. The new rules may affect tax incentives, regional structures, compliance obligations, financial reporting, and investment strategies. As Indonesia moves toward implementation, businesses need to understand both the technical framework and the practical consequences for operations in Southeast Asia.
Objectives
- Provide a practical overview of BEPS Pillar 2 and the Global Minimum Tax framework.
- Explain how the rules may affect multinational companies operating in Indonesia.
- Clarify implications for tax incentives, investment structures, and regional operations.
- Discuss Indonesia’s implementation approach and expected regulatory developments.
- Enable participants to identify strategic and compliance considerations for their organizations.
Target Audience
- CFOs and finance directors
- Tax and legal professionals
- Country managers and regional executives
- Corporate governance and compliance teams
- Investors and advisors
- International companies with operations in Indonesia or Southeast Asia
Format
The session is designed for executives and professionals seeking a strategic and operational understanding of how the Global Minimum Tax may affect their business activities in Indonesia and the region.
