Frequently Asked Questions: Accountancy/Tax

The key differences between accountancy and tax reporting for VAT and Non-VAT companies in Indonesia are:

VAT Companies:

• Required to register for VAT if annual turnover exceeds IDR 4.8 billion
• Must issue tax invoices for taxable goods/services
• Submit monthly VAT returns (SPT Masa PPN)
• Maintain detailed records of input and output VAT
• More complex accounting procedures to track VAT transactions
• Higher compliance costs due to additional reporting requirements
• Typically require more sophisticated accounting software

Non-VAT Companies:

• Not required to register for VAT if annual turnover is below IDR 4.8 billion
• Do not issue tax invoices or charge VAT on sales
• No monthly VAT return submissions
• Simpler accounting procedures without VAT tracking
• Lower compliance costs due to fewer reporting requirements
• May use simpler accounting systems

Common Requirements for Both:

• Maintain proper bookkeeping and financial records
• Prepare annual financial statements
• Submit annual corporate income tax return (SPT Tahunan PPh Badan)
• Pay monthly income tax installments (PPh 25)
• Withhold and report employee income tax (PPh 21)

Considerations:

• VAT companies generally have higher administrative burdens but may benefit from input VAT credits
• Non-VAT companies have simpler compliance but cannot recover VAT paid on purchases
• Companies approaching the IDR 4.8 billion threshold should prepare for potential VAT registration
• Some industries may have specific tax reporting requirements regardless of VAT status

It's important to consult with a qualified Indonesian tax professional to ensure compliance with the latest regulations and to optimize your company's tax position based on its specific circumstances.
