The 1945 Constitution is Indonesia`s highest legal authority, to which the executive, legislative and judicial branches must submit. The constitution was drafted in July and August 1945, when Indonesia escaped Japanese control at the end of World War II. It was abrogated by the Federal Constitution of 1949 and the Provisional Constitution of 1950, but restored after President Sukarno`s decree of 5 July 1959. In the 32 years of Suharto`s government, the constitution had never been amended. Suharto refused to approve amendments to the constitution, and the People`s Consultative Assembly passed a law in 1985 mandating a national referendum for constitutional amendments.

NPOs are generally subject to income tax in the same way as other legal persons (Income Tax Act No. 36 of 2008, Article 2, section 1(b)). [6] Some provisions of Perppu`s law differ from the 2013 law. For example, Perppu no longer requires the government (through the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights) to consult with the Supreme Court before an organization`s registration certificate or legal status can be revoked.
