Padel is rapidly conquering Bali: in the last couple of years, dozens of clubs have opened on the island, popular among tourists, expats, and locals. However, with growing popularity came the attention of the authorities. The Bali government has instructed the tax department to check whether these businesses are paying taxes in full.
The head of the Bali Regional Revenue Agency, IGN Eddie Mulya, reported that inspectors have already begun auditing sports and entertainment facilities, including padel clubs. By law, they fall into the same category as entertainment venues, with a fixed tax rate of 10% of income.
No violations have been identified yet, but the authorities want to ensure that padel businesses, especially those with additional services such as cafes, bars, and yoga events, comply with all requirements. The check involves not only taxes but also licenses, permits, and compliance with declared activities.
The audit of padel clubs is part of a large-scale campaign: over the coming months, the authorities will check hundreds of companies targeting tourists and foreigners. Those operating without licenses or underreporting taxes face warnings or fines. Experts do not rule out that this could lead to an increase in prices for some services.
