​What is VAT (Value Added Tax)

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a tax levied on the added value of goods or services throughout the production and distribution process. VAT is a form of indirect tax collected by the government from the sale of goods and services to the final consumer.

The standard VAT rate applied in Indonesia is 11%. However, certain goods and services are subject to a reduced VAT rate or are exempt from VAT altogether.
​
Monthly VAT Reporting is mandatory for all businesses that are VAT Registered in Indonesia and VAT is imposed on goods and services transactions carried out by entities or individuals.

​VAT Reporting Requirements

1. VAT Invoices

VAT invoices are vital documents for both buyers and sellers, serving as the foundation for accurate tax reporting and compliance. These invoices must detail the seller’s and buyer’s information, provide a clear description of the goods or services provided, specify the VAT amount, and state the total amount payable. Issuing VAT invoices correctly is essential for businesses to reclaim input VAT efficiently and maintain proper financial records.

2. VAT Returns

Filing VAT returns is a critical obligation for businesses, with frequencies determined by turnover and business type. Generally, VAT returns are submitted monthly, with deadlines at the end of the following month, or annually, due by the end of April of the subsequent year. Ensuring timely and accurate submission of VAT returns helps avoid penalties and keeps your business in good standing with tax authorities.

3. Supporting Documentation
​
Accurate record-keeping and thorough documentation are essential for VAT compliance. Businesses should meticulously maintain all relevant documents, including VAT invoices, purchase receipts, and financial statements, for the required retention period. These records not only support your VAT claims but are also crucial during audits by tax authorities, ensuring transparency and adherence to regulations.
