How a transaction starts
- When a buyer expresses interest, we first confirm with the seller whether they wish to proceed (accept or decline). Only with the seller’s consent do we disclose the seller’s name to the buyer. We then act as intermediary, supporting the arrangements for machine inspection and transport.
- Once both parties agree on the overall flow, the buyer transfers the purchase price to our designated account (escrow: payment is made in advance, see the diagram). After transport and test run are complete and inspection raises no issues, we transfer the amount less commission to the seller within 3 business days.

Accounting and tax treatment
QHow is a sale treated in accounting?
If book value exceeds the sale price, the difference is recorded as a loss on disposal of fixed assets (non-operating); if the sale price exceeds book value, as a gain on disposal (non-operating).
QWhat about tax on a sale?
The sale is subject to VAT. Please add VAT to your invoice to us and attach the tax invoice (Faktur Pajak). Gains on disposal of fixed assets are subject to corporate income tax.
