Q: When must a business register for PPN (VAT) in Indonesia?

Registration as PKP (Pengusaha Kena Pajak) is mandatory when annual gross revenue exceeds IDR 4.8 billion. Businesses can voluntarily register below this threshold. PKP registration requires issuing faktur pajak for all taxable transactions.

Q: How do input tax credits work for Indonesian PPN?

Input PPN paid on business purchases can be credited against output PPN collected from sales. Net PPN (output minus input) is remitted monthly. If input exceeds output, you can carry forward the credit or claim a refund (which typically triggers an audit).

Beni normali: 12% × (11/12) = 11% effettivo
Beni di lusso: 12% pieno (senza DPP Nilai Lain)
