A Few Important Things About Tax Compliance Requirements In Indonesia

  • Indonesian taxation uses the withholding tax system for income tax.
  • In most cases, the income paid to the income beneficiary shall be withheld from income tax. If a company makes any payment, the company must withhold the tax for that income.
  • In most cases, If a company receives payment from its customer, the customer also withholds tax which will become a tax credit for corporate income tax.
  • Withholding tax shall be deposited to the state and reported on a monthly basis.
  • A person or entity who receives the income shall be provided a withholding tax receipt by the taxpayer who pays the income.
  • For value-added tax, Indonesian taxation requires a “certain” taxpayer to charge VAT on the sales or transfer of goods and services.
  • For value-added tax compliance, the taxpayer is required to issue a tax invoice (use the system provided by the tax authority).
  • Timing of issuance of tax invoices is critical in tax compliance.
  • VAT payable is the difference between the VAT output (VAT charge to the customers) and the VAT input (paid to the third party, suppliers, service providers, etc).
  • Tax invoices and VAT credits are critical in value-added tax compliance.
  • Value-added tax penalty is the highest compared to the withholding tax penalty.
  • Filing a loss in corporate income tax will raise the probability of tax audit
