Virtual office services have gained popularity in Indonesia, providing entrepreneurs with convenience and efficiency, particularly in managing permits and taxes.
Before 2017, virtual offices couldn’t serve as the official address for Taxable Companies (PKP) due to the absence of a physical space for business activities. However, this changed with the issuance of Minister of Finance Regulation Number 147/PMK.03/2017, amending Minister of Finance Regulation Number 197/PMK.03/2012.
This regulation allows virtual offices to be used as the official address for PKP, provided they meet specific requirements.
