Jakarta, October 19, 1989

Excellency,

I have the honour to refer to the Agreement which was signed today.

In connection with the Agreement between the Government of the Hungarian Peoples Republic and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income signed today, the Hungarian Peoples Republic acknowledges the fact that when the said Agreement enters into force, Section 26e of the Indonesian Tax Law will still be applicable in respect of income taxation of profits of a permanent establishment in Indonesia. However, the foregoing provision will not be applicable if the taxpayer can produce an evidence that such profit is not transferred or distributed to its parent company. In case there is any doubt regarding the application of the provisions of this Section considering the principles contained in the said Agreement, the two Governments shall endeavour to settle the question by mutual agreement.

If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, I have the honour to propose that this note together with your confirmatory reply shall constitute an Agreement between our Governments which shall enter into force on October 19, 1989.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
