How much is the iPhone tax purchased abroad (Freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - Although it was released globally on September 20, the iPhone 16 phone still cannot enter Indonesia because it does not meet the 40 percent TKDN requirements. Not a few Apple products fans buy the iPhone 16 abroad. So how much is the iPhone tax purchased abroad?

For now, iPhone 16 mobile phones from abroad are allowed to enter Indonesia with notes for personal use. In addition, every community carrying an iPhone from abroad can only be a maximum of two units of products. In addition, these products are also required to be registered with the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) and taxed.

These requirements must of course be prepared for Indonesian people who want to buy iPhones from abroad. Therefore it is very important to know how much iPhone taxes are purchased abroad and how to calculate them?

Every iPhone purchase abroad must pay import duties and taxes in order to import when registering IMEI. This foreign goods tax rule is imposed for products that have a price of more than 500 million US dollars (Rp 7.8 million). This provision is contained in the Minister of Finance Regulation Number 203/PMK.04/2017.

Referring to these regulations, the amount of tax set comes from the following calculations:

The customs value is obtained from the value of goods - 500 US dollars. Meanwhile, the import value is obtained from the value of customs + import duties.

The total amount of tax is obtained from the addition of entry duties + VAT + PPh.

The amount of tax for each iPhone product from abroad can vary because each iPhone series is sold at a different price. For example, the iPhone 16 256 GB tax calculation sold in Singapore is at a price of 1,449 Singapore dollars (Rp 17 million).

Before starting to calculate the amount of tax, you need to convert the value of the money into US dollars, which is 1,096 US dollars based on the currency exchange rate as of Saturday (26/10/2024). Keep in mind that currency conversions can change over time.

Then the following is the calculation of the iPhone 16 256 GB = tax fee

1. Customs value: the value of goods-500 US dollars

1,096 US-500 US dollars = 596 US dollars (around Rp9,354,279)

2. Import Duty: customs value x 10 percent

IDR 9,354,279 x 10% = IDR 935,427

3. Import value: customs+bea value entry

IDR 9,354,279 + IDR 935,427 = IDR 10,289,706

4. VAT: import value x 10 percent

IDR 10,289,706 x 10% = IDR 1,028,970

5. Ph (owning NPWP): import value x 10 percent

IDR 10,289,706 x 10% = IDR 1,028,970

6. PPh (without NPWP): import value x 20 percent

IDR 10,289,706 x 20% = IDR 2,057,941 D

With the above calculation, it can be seen that the total iPhone 16 256 GB tax for those who have NPWP is IDR 2,993,367. Here are the details of the calculation:

Import Duty + PPN + PPh (owned by NPWP) = IDR 935,427 + IDR 1,028,970 + IDR 1,028,970 = IDR 2,993,367.
