Why You Need to Outsource Your Accounting and Payroll

In the business process, administrative tasks like accounting and payroll will become more complicated as business grows. If you want to avoid the complexity, the most practical solution is payroll outsourcing in Indonesia, and we will tell you while.

Many components make up a business. For it to run like a well-oiled machine, it requires a reliable, scalable system for payroll and accounting. These may be easy if you have very few employees to manage or you operate domestically. This way, you’re familiar with business-related laws such as accounting, taxation, and labour.

But, unless you have no reason to grow your business (which may sound counter-intuitive), you will soon hire more people or expand to other countries such as Indonesia. Here are some of the best reasons.

Why Switch to Payroll Outsourcing in Indonesia

1. Compliance with Indonesian Regulations

Indonesia’s regulations on labour, accounting, auditing, and tax reporting are not easy to understand by foreign companies. It’s not surprising considering they tend to change over time.

Moreover, they involve many formulas. Calculating overtime pay alone can differ per every overtime hour. Minimum wages, meanwhile, can change depending on the GDP growth rate and inflation.

The country uses a progressive rate, but there are exemptions. If the employee earns no more than IDR 54 million (~$4,000) they are exempt from the income tax rates.

While you can always take time to learn, your lack of deep familiarity can put your business in serious jeopardy. At the very least, you will pay fines for late tax reporting. At worst, you may spend some time in jail, have your business license revoked, or your company registration cancelled.

The importance of complying with Indonesian laws is the topmost reason you should consider payroll processing outsourcing in Indonesia.

One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs, especially start-ups, make is spreading themselves too thin. With so many tasks to take care of, they easily feel the burnout and become less efficient and productive.

Pareto principle suggests 80 percent of the best outcome usually comes from 20 percent effort. Simply put, running your business well is about doing the things that matter the most, and these don’t include routine tasks, which others can do for you.
