Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
KBLI 45201 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.
Current status, what each regulation actually requires for this activity, and how it ties to the PB UMKU sector permits below. Click through for the plain-English summary.
Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
We confirm KBLI 45201 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
No specific application requirements at this scale.
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Minister/Head of Agency | The industrial location is situated within a cross-border area between provinces. |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
| Governor | The industrial location is in the relevant province. |
PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 2 candidate permits across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Defence. Applies when the operation produces, stores, or distributes weapons, ammunition, military vehicles, or explosives. The Ministry of Defence vets and re-vets the operator across the lifecycle.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 45201 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must self-declare compliance with applicable standards via OSS, which generates the Sertifikat Standar. Operating commercially with NIB alone is not legally compliant at this risk level. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: set by ministry — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.
› This code involves the maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, which may be affected by the VAT implications on parts and services.
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 45201 (Reparasi Mobil) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for automobile repair. It sits within Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles under the subgroup Car Repair and Maintenance (major group 45) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in automobile repair as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
KBLI 45201 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 45201 (Reparasi Mobil) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for automobile repair. It sits within the Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes — KBLI 45201 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).
KBLI 45201's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-Low, Small Medium-Low, Medium Medium-Low, Large Medium-Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar). KBLI 45201 is Medium-Low risk at Large scale, so the investor declares compliance with the applicable technical standard at NIB issuance. No government pre-audit, but the declaration is binding and can trigger a post-audit. 2 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.
PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks end-to-end: AHU registration, NIB via OSS, bank account opening. KBLI-specific licensing depends on the permit instrument required.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 45201 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 45201 carries 2 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Defence & Security (2). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 4520: 45202 (Car Wash and Salon). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
