Streamlining Villa Development and Tax Efficiency

Craft Corp Projects: A Case Study

Introduction

Anje, a property developer based in Bali, undertook the ambitious Villa Ladam project, a high-end residential villa intended for resale. As a foreign investor navigating Indonesia’s complex real estate landscape, Anje faced significant challenges related to local tax regulations, financial management, and remote project oversight. Hepta Solutions provided essential support, enabling the seamless and efficient progression of the villa development.

Challenges

During the Villa Ladam development, Anje encountered several critical obstacles:

Tax Compliance: Difficulty understanding and adhering to Indonesia’s intricate property and salary tax regulations.
Financial Management: Challenges in efficiently managing loan repayments alongside ongoing villa construction expenses.
Project Coordination: The complexities involved in overseeing demolition, coordinating remote construction activities, and maintaining effective contractor communications.

These issues posed substantial risks, potentially leading to project delays, increased costs, and penalties for non-compliance with local regulations.

Approach

Hepta Solutions adopted a comprehensive and structured approach tailored specifically to Anje’s needs:

Tax Planning and Optimization

Precisely managed salary tax and director remuneration, clearly defining responsibilities under local regulations to ensure compliance and prevent unnecessary tax liabilities.

Comprehensive Project Management

Closely coordinated demolition activities (completed February 2024) and subsequent construction tasks with contractors, notably Carlos, facilitating customized adjustments to cabinetry, shelving, and bedroom features.
Maintained consistent and transparent communication through detailed progress reports and regular updates in group chats, ensuring clarity and alignment throughout the project’s duration.
