Hello there, This Pondok Wisata (PW) business is so unclear. Is there an official govt. site where I can get all the information first hand? I've not had any luck in my own searches.
What I need clarity on is this (for leasehold):
1. Without a KITAS, can I still get a PW? I am thinking yes as the PW is in the land owner's name and not mine (as the foreigner) so my residential status is of no consequence. Can this necessity of needing the signature of the land owner come with another set of issues? Can they leverage off that?
2. Is it correct that running the villa business without having a KITAS I will be subject to 20% income tax, whilst if I had a KITAS the tax would be 10%?
3. If the villa was run with a PW which has now expired, is it not common to have difficulty renewing the PW? Can they just decide not to give your another one and leave you in limbo even if you have a rental IMB?
4. Would they still issue a PW to a villa which is currently in no fit state for rental? I ask this because I hesitate at purchasing a property for rental purposes which has no, or has an expired, PW. Especially when this villa is very run down.
5. If the villa already has a valid IMB, how long does the application for PW usually take? I understand there is some greasing of hands involved to make it shorter, so what outcome could I expect in both scenarios - 1. no greasing and 2. greasing.
6. From research I've uncovered PW prices estimated anywhere from 20Bil IDR to 120Bil IDR. What is a more accurate price for a Seminyak 5 brm villa (I am not sure if the size matters. Does it?)
Thanks for your help people of Bali.
