Hi longqi,
I am in the process of setting up a yayasan as we speak. Similar to you I am using only Indonesian members. (Not sure where gilberts quote for Yayasan not having members comes from?) The way I see the set up it is the same as an Incorporated Association in Australia. The entity can run a money making business but it is not a PT Co. As long as the profits don't go to the members all is fine. Turn over under $450k AU is taxed at 12.5percent.
It's my understanding that you do need a Kitas to be involved with the yayasan on the ground in Indo. The yayasan is your sponsor similar to a PT co. sponsoring you.
I am getting my friend to do the Govt submissions but I have been quoted around 25jt and also under 10jt from another source so it does vary by the looks of things. Depending on which ministerial area you are proposing to operate I suppose.
Do you know the requirements for bules to be members of a yayasan? Thinking down the track we'll add some to create accountability.
that quote comes straight out of the law regarding yayasan.
