How to calculate taxes on foreign payments?
If for some reason the bank's rate on that day was higher than the Central Bank's rate (the rarest
case), the "service" received is also taxed. It is easier to follow this point than to deal with
additional calculations.
Will the recipient in Indonesia need identification to receive money from Japan?
Yes. If you're sending money from Japan to Indonesia for cash pickup, the recipient in Indonesia must show a valid ID and sometimes the transaction number. This helps ensure that money sent from Japan is securely delivered in Indonesia.
Do I need a bank account in Japan to send money to Indonesia?
Not necessarily. Many international services operating in Japan offer cash transfers to Indonesia, so you can send money without a bank account. However, if you’re using online banking or bank-to-bank transfer from Japan to Indonesia, an account will be required.
Are there limits on how much I can transfer?
Yes, each service has its own limits on the transfer amount.
You can find information about the limits on the service's website or app.
