Indonesia withholding tax:

The prices of HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI CLOUD KooGallery services include the withholding tax. When you pay us for HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI CLOUD KooGallery expenditures generated on or after this date, according to the Indonesia tax laws, you should withhold/deduct and pay the withholding tax to competent tax authorities, provide a valid withholding tax payment certificate to us.

For example, if the service fee is $100 USD and withholding tax rate is 2%, you need to withhold 2% of the service fee $100 USD (VAT excluded) and pay $2 USD to competent tax authorities. As our invoice is issued $111 USD in total including 11% VAT, you only need to pay net amount of $109 USD to HUAWEI CLOUD calculated as "100 - 2 (WHT) + 11 (VAT)" and provide us the corresponding withholding tax payment certificate within 60 days after withholding tax return.

The example above is for reference only. The actual tax rate or amount may vary according to territories and products. If you have any questions, please submit a service ticket to us.

Email the soft copy of withholding tax payment certificate issued by the tax authority to sparkooid@huaweicloud.com.
