Invoicing & tax for a Dropshipper / Online Seller in Indonesia
A Dropshipper / Online Seller in Indonesia bills with invoices and kwitansi like any business, but the tax runs off omzet, not client withholding: sales of goods are generally not subject to PPh 23. As an individual with omzet ≤ Rp4.8 billion/year, the 0.5% UMKM final tax applies (PP 55/2022 as amended by PP 20/2026 — now permanent) with the first Rp500 million of annual omzet tax-free. Example: you receive a Rp9.000.000 corporate PO in full — Rp9.000.000 — then deposit the 0.5% yourself monthly (by the 15th of the following month, PMK 81/2024) once annual omzet passes Rp500 million.
Selling through marketplaces, TikTok Shop, and WhatsApp means money arrives through many doors — and when a corporate PO lands (office hampers, uniforms, merchandise), you’re suddenly asked for a formal invoice plus kwitansi. Your own tax runs off omzet, not client withholding.

A worked example
Say an office orders Rp9.000.000 worth of goods from you and asks for a formal invoice. There is no PPh withholding on a goods purchase — the figures below come straight from the Tagihin engine.
| Fee (before PPN) | Rp9.000.000 |
| Total invoiced | Rp9.000.000 |
| Net the client pays (QRIS amount) | Rp9.000.000 |
The buyer transfers the full Rp9.000.000 — the exact amount encoded in the QRIS QR on your invoice.
Your own tax: the 0.5% UMKM final tax
As an individual with omzet ≤ Rp4.8 billion/year who is not pekerjaan bebas, your business income is taxed at a final 0.5% of omzet (PP 55/2022 as amended by PP 20/2026 — permanent for individuals and PT Perorangan since April 2026). The best part: the first Rp500.000.000 of annual omzet is tax-free. Example: Rp600.000.000 of annual omzet → only the excess is taxed, so the year's tax is Rp500.000. Deposits are monthly, by the 15th of the following month (PMK 81/2024), using a billing code from DJP Coretax.

Why is your goods invoice not withheld?
PPh 23 withholding applies to services, asset rental, and royalties — not ordinary goods purchases. So corporate POs for goods are generally paid in full. (Certain government/state-owned buyers have their own collection rules — ask their finance team if that is your buyer.) Your tax duty runs off omzet through the 0.5% final tax above.
What to watch for in this trade
Sales of goods are generally not subject to PPh 23 withholding — that applies to services, rent, and royalties. Your duty centres on the 0.5% final tax over the omzet of all channels (marketplace + WhatsApp + offline), deposited monthly once annual omzet passes Rp500 million.
