The weakening of the rupiah against the US Dollar, which began in mid 2013 and continues up to now reaches approximately 40 percent.
The government policy of the Republic of Indonesia on tariff duties and taxes related to the importation and sale of large motors, among others:
a. PMK No. 175 / PMK.011 / 2013 of 22 import tariff increases income tax from 2.5 percent to 7.5 percent.
b. PP No. 22 of 2014 on the increase in luxury goods sales tax from 75 percent to 125 percent.
