Ease Of Doing Business

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel framework to measure ease of doing business (EDB) that undertakes a holistic approach incorporating three distinct environments: attractiveness to investors, business friendliness, and competitive policies (ABC). This is offered as an alternative to existing popular indicators of doing business (DB), allowing for better approximation of investment and economic growth at the sub-national level. Design/methodology/approach The proposed “EDB Index ABC” aggregates 74 indicators into five sub-environments, three environments, and ultimately into the overall EDB Index ABC. Values are standardised using the standardised score method. The framework is applied to 33 Indonesian provinces using a combination of primary data from surveying the business community and government departments as well as secondary data from formal government statistics. Findings The findings suggest a positive association between the proposed EDB Index ABC and competitiveness as well as investments into Indonesian provinces. In terms of explanatory power, attractiveness to investors and business friendliness seem to be stronger and more consistent, while the role of competitive policies is more ambiguous. Originality/value This research departs significantly from conventional approaches to the study of DB that tend to overwhelmingly focus on formal regulatory aspects by including macroeconomic factors such as market potential and infrastructure resilience as well as micro-level variables such as profitability and cost effectiveness, and the role of government in managing competition. Responding to calls for a bottom-up approach in understanding the EDB, the EDB Index ABC is applied to 33 Indonesian provinces.

Notary Public

Problems that often occur in practice of franchise agreements in Indonesia wich is often the franchise receiver and franchise giver in conducting cooperation agreements do not involve the role of a notary public in making the agreement so that the form of the agreement made is only an underhand agreement, it is very detrimental and creates risks if one party violates the agreement that has been agreed upon. The agreement made by both parties is no exception the franchise agreement which is made is only a limited agreement under the hand so that the protection of the rights of each party in the franchise agreement, especially the franchisee is not enough to protect the rights attached to him, because agreements made only under the hands of the strength of proof are not perfect, unlike agreements made authentically before a notary whose proof of strength is perfect. Therefore, in practice there are still many franchisees whose are harmed by the franchise agreement agreed upon with the franchisor. This research is normative using the statutory approach and the conceptual approach. The source of legal material in this study uses primary legal material sources supported by secondary legal materials and uses legal material collection techniques through library research, the analysis in this study uses content analysis and systematic interpretation. The results showed that legal protection in franchising activities (Franchise) is regulated in Government Regulation Number 42 of 2007 concerning Franchising. The form of this cooperation agreement is outlined in the form of a written agreement that contains several standard and additional clauses that have been discussed previously between the two parties. , this is what limits the franchisee by stating that after the termination of the agreement, the franchisee is limited to not doing business in a similar business to the previous franchise business that has been undertaken for a certain period. To protect the rights of the franchisee, the franchise agreement agreed upon must be in the form of a notary deed (authentic). It aims to ensure justice sbetween the parties and legal certainty of the contents of the franchise agreement more secure.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) -- India's biggest tax reform since independence formally launched in Parliament by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Pranab Mukherjee came into force after 17 tumultuous years of debate, unifying more than a dozen central and state levies.  The new tax regime was ushered at the late night of 30th June and came into force on 1st July 2017.  The one national GST unifies the country's USD 2 trillion economy and 1.3 billion people into a common market.  As commented by Mr.Modi, GST is not just tax reform but its economic reform. GST is a way forward in the ease of doing business.  In the language of law, it is called the goods and services tax, but the benefit of GST is really a Good and Simple Tax. Good because multiple taxes will be removed. Simple because it requires just one form and is easy to use.  GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer.  Credits of input taxes paid at each stage will be available in the subsequent stage of value addition, which makes GST essentially a tax only on value addition at each stage. The final consumer will thus bear only the GST charged by the last dealer in the supply chain, with set-off benefits at all the previous stages.  It renders numerous benefits to different parties such as business and industry, central and state governments and the ultimate consumers.  An effort is made to understand the consumers’ awareness on Goods and Services Tax. Everything that is introduced will attract agitation and unrest among different group of people and they can easily be overcome by designing programmes to clarify the objections of renowned economists.  GST will sure to have success when the confidence of every individual Indian citizens have obtained.
