Q & A

What is 'bea materai' and why is it important?

'Bea materai' is a stamp duty or tax imposed on certain legal documents in Indonesia. It is crucial for the legal recognition of documents, especially those related to civil matters, contracts, and legal proceedings, as it helps validate the authenticity and enforceability of these documents.

Which laws govern the implementation of bea materai in Indonesia?

The main law governing 'bea materai' is Undang-Undang No. 10 Tahun 2020. Additional regulations include Peraturan Pemerintah No. 86 Tahun 2021 and Permen No. 5 151 Tahun 2021, which outline the details on procurement, management, and payment procedures for stamp duty.

What types of documents are subject to bea materai?

Documents subject to bea materai include contracts (e.g., sales, loan, and lease agreements), notarial deeds, receipts, court-related documents, and documents that serve as evidence or tools in legal proceedings.

Is it true that a document with bea materai has a higher legal standing?

Not entirely. While bea materai affirms the legal validity of a document, it does not necessarily make it 'more valid.' The document's purpose and usage determine its legal standing. For example, some documents may not require bea materai unless they are presented in court.

What are the specific monetary thresholds for bea materai in Indonesia?

As per the most recent regulations, a document that involves a transaction or value exceeding Rp 5 million must bear a stamp duty of Rp 10,000. Documents with values less than Rp 5 million do not require bea materai.

Can you provide an example of documents that need bea materai based on the script?

An example from the script includes the incorporation deed of PT Maju Jaya, the receipts for payments made by the company, the lease agreement, and checks for transactions above Rp 5 million. All these documents require bea materai due to their value and legal implications.

How is the bea materai calculated for multiple copies of documents?

For documents with multiple copies, the stamp duty is applied to each original document and its copies. For example, if a deed of incorporation has one original and two copies, the total bea materai would be three times the stamp fee (Rp 10,000 per document).

What happens if a document required to have bea materai does not have one?

If a document required to bear bea materai is not stamped, it may not be accepted as valid in legal proceedings, such as in court. Judges and officials are prohibited from considering unstamped documents as evidence.

What is the total cost of bea materai for the documents in the example involving PT Maju Jaya?

For PT Maju Jaya, the total bea materai cost is Rp 80,000. This includes the stamp duty for the deed of incorporation, receipts, checks, and the rental agreement, with each document or copy subject to a fee of Rp 10,000.

Are there exceptions to the rule that documents with a value under Rp 5 million do not need bea materai?

Yes, certain documents that might otherwise be exempt from bea materai could still require it if they are intended to be used as evidence in court. This includes situations where unstamped documents may be deemed inadmissible in legal proceedings.
