Fringe Benefits Remuneration

"Fringe Benefits Remuneration" generally refers to non-cash compensation provided to employees in addition to their regular salaries or wages, such as company cars, health insurance, or free meals. In Indonesia, this concept is legally known as "Natura dan/atau Kenikmatan" (Benefits in Kind and/or Enjoyment).

Here is how it works under current Indonesian tax rules (effective 2022/2023):

💡 Key Concept: What Counts as a Fringe Benefit?

• Natura: Compensation in the form of goods where ownership is transferred (e.g., giving an employee a motorcycle or a laptop).
• Kenikmatan: Compensation in the form of facility usage rights (e.g., providing a company car for use, housing, or health insurance).

📊 Tax Treatment

The rules have shifted significantly. Previously, most fringe benefits were not taxable for the employee and not deductible for the company. Now, they generally must be treated as taxable income.

• General Rule: Fringe benefits are now taxable income for the receiving employee and can be deducted as a business expense by the employer.
• Withholding: Employers must include the value of these benefits in the employee's gross income and withhold PPh Pasal 21 (Income Tax 21).

✅ Common Exceptions (Not Taxable)

Not everything is taxed. The following are generally excluded from taxable income for employees:

• Meals/Drinks: Food and beverages provided to all employees at the workplace.
• Operational Necessities: Uniforms, safety gear (APD), or transportation required for the job.
• Certain Housing: Communal housing (dorms/barracks) or individual housing benefits valued under Rp 2,000,000 per month.
• Health Insurance: BPJS Kesehatan or private health insurance premiums.
• Remote Areas: Benefits required because the employee is stationed in an underdeveloped or remote region.

📝 Practical Example: Gifts (Bingkisan)

A common fringe benefit is holiday gifts. According to the DJP, here is how it applies:

• Religious Holiday Gifts: Food/beverage gifts given to all employees for Eid, Christmas, etc., are exempt from PPh 21.
• Other Gifts: If a gift is given outside these holidays, it is exempt up to Rp 3,000,000 per employee per year. Any amount above that is taxed.

🧑‍💼 Impact on Employee

Because the value of these benefits counts as gross income, it can increase your taxable income base. This means your PPh 21 withholding might be higher, potentially reducing your monthly "take-home" pay even if you didn't receive extra cash.

Fringe Benefits Remuneration

"Fringe Benefits Remuneration" constitutes a formally recognized category of employment income under International Law and the International Law-Code governing cross-border taxation and labor standards. Its treatment is grounded in the Governing Law established by multilateral conventions, model treaties, and supranational bodies.

Governing Law: The ILO Equal Remuneration Convention

Under the Governing Law of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the term is governed by Article 1(a) of the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100). This provision establishes an expansive definition: "remuneration" includes the ordinary, basic or minimum wage or salary and "any additional emoluments whatsoever payable directly or indirectly, whether in cash or in kind, by the employer to the worker and arising out of the worker's employment" . The ILO Committee of Experts has explicitly confirmed that this definition encompasses fringe benefits such as housing allowances, bonuses, transportation compensation, and payments in kind, requiring States to apply the principle of equal remuneration to all forms of compensation .

International Law-Code: OECD and UN Model Tax Conventions

Under the International Law-Code of the OECD and UN Model Tax Conventions, "Fringe Benefits Remuneration" falls squarely within Article 15 (Income from Employment) of both Models. The Commentary to the OECD Model recognizes that salary income may be received "in kind (stock options, incentives or complementary fringe benefits, life and health insurance, etc.)" and therefore is included within the scope of Article 15 . The Governing Law principle is that the State where the employment is exercised has primary taxing rights over such remuneration, regardless of whether it is paid in cash or in kind .

Application to Indonesia: Natura dan/atau Kenikmatan

In the Indonesian jurisdiction, the International Law-Code is implemented through domestic Governing Law provisions: "Natura dan/atau Kenikmatan" (Benefits in Kind and/or Enjoyment). Under the harmonized framework of UU HPP No. 7/2021, PP No. 55/2022, and PMK No. 66/2023, fringe benefits are now generally treated as taxable income for the recipient and deductible expenses for the employer . The Governing Law distinguishes between:

· Natura: transfer of goods ownership (e.g., a motorcycle given to an employee)

· Kenikmatan: right to use facilities (e.g., a company car or apartment) 

Exceptions under the International Law-Code alignment include meals for all employees, occupational safety equipment, and benefits provided in designated remote areas .

Key Governing Law Instruments

Instrument Relevant Provision Scope

ILO Convention No. 100 Article 1(a) Defines remuneration to include all additional emoluments, cash or in kind 

OECD Model Tax Convention Article 15 Allocates taxing rights over employment income including fringe benefits 

UN Model Tax Convention Article 15 Parallel provision for developing-country treaty negotiations 

Indonesian UU HPP No. 7/2021 Article 4 Establishes Natura/Kenikmatan as taxable income 

Conclusion

"Fringe Benefits Remuneration" is not merely a domestic tax concept but a term of art under International Law and the International Law-Code of employment taxation. The Governing Law — spanning ILO Convention No. 100 and OECD/UN Model Conventions — requires that fringe benefits be included in the definition of remuneration for purposes of equality, non-discrimination, and tax allocation. Indonesia's Natura dan/atau Kenikmatan regime represents the domestic implementation of these international obligations.
