Voluntary Disclosure Program For Individuals


In order to give opportunities for Individual Taxpayers to voluntarily disclose their outstanding tax obligations through Income Tax payment based on assets disclosure, the Government of Indonesia enacted the Voluntary Disclosure Program (“PPS”) for Individual Taxpayers.


Definition


PPS is a program for Individual Taxpayers to voluntarily disclose their outstanding tax obligations through Income Tax payment based on assets disclosure.


Providing opportunities for Individual Taxpayers to voluntarily report or disclose tax obligations that have not been fulfilled is done through:

  1. Payment of Income Tax based on the disclosure of assets that are not or have not been fully reported by the participants of the Tax Amnesty program; and

  2. Payment of Income Tax based on the disclosure of assets that have not been reported in the Annual Individual Income Tax Return for Fiscal Year 2020.


PPS Benefits

  1. No tax assessments are issued on the Fiscal Year 2016-2020 tax obligations, unless there is other data and/or information regarding assets that have not been/less disclosed in the Asset Disclosure Notice (“SPPH”). The tax obligations include individual income tax, withholding and/or collection of income tax, and value-added tax, except for taxes that have been withheld or collected but not deposited.

  2. Data/information sourced from SPPH and its attachments that are administered by the Ministry of Finance or other parties related to the implementation of the HPP Law cannot be used as a basis for research, investigation, and/or criminal prosecution of taxpayers.


PPS Participant


PPS participants are Individual Taxpayers with the following criteria:

  1. Posses a Tax Identification Number;

  2. Submitted Annual Income Tax Return for the Fiscal Year 2020;

  7. Not currently serving a criminal sentence for a crime in the taxation sector.

The above criteria are applicable to the obligation of Income Tax, withholding and/or collection of Income Tax, and Value Added Tax on Individual Taxpayers.


PPS Disclosure Basis


PPS disclosure basis is net assets. Net assets are the value of assets minus the liabilities (value of debt). Net assets are considered as additional income received or earned by an Individual Tax Subject in the Fiscal Year 2020.


Individual Taxpayers may disclose net Assets that:

  1. Was obtained from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2020;

  2. Still owned as of 31 December 2020; and

  3. Has not been reported in the Annual Individual Income Tax Return for Fiscal Year 2020,


Determination of Assets Value and Liabilities Value


The tax base for Assets that have not been reported in the Annual Individual Income Tax Return for Fiscal Year 2020 is calculated as follows:

  1. nominal value, for Assets in the form of cash or cash equivalents; or

  2. cost, for Assets other than cash or cash equivalents.

In the event that the acquisition price is unknown, the Individual Taxpayers may use the fair value which describes the conditions as of 31 December 2020 of the same or equivalent assets based on the assessment of the Individual Taxpayers.


Liability value is the value of debt, without interest, related to the disclosed assets.


In the event that the value of the Assets and the value of Debt use a currency other than Rupiah, the value of the Assets and the value of Debt are determined in Rupiah using the prevailing tax rate at the end of the Fiscal Year 2020.

Example for Voluntary Disclosure Program for Individuals


Mr. David is an Individual Taxpayer who has submitted his 2020 Individual Income Tax Return. However, he is aware that there is an unreported property in the form of a KPR house in BSD amounting to IDR 5 billion with a lease amount of IDR 3 billion which has not been paid. He acquired this property in 2016. Mr. David intends to join PPS. What should he do?


Mr. David can take part in the PPS by no later than the end of June 2020. To take part in the PPS, Mr. David must calculate the net assets that have not been disclosed, which is the value of assets minus the value of debts of IDR 2 billion.


After that, Mr. David must pay Final Income Tax at a rate of 14% because it is not invested in the new renewable energy sector and/or Government Securities with the following calculation:

14% x IDR 2 Billion = IDR 280 Million


The payment is made to the state treasury through the perception bank using a tax payment slip or billing code with a tax account code of 411128 and a payment code of 428. After that, Mr. David will receive an NTPN.


After making the payment, Mr. David must submit the SPPH electronically through the DGT website. Then, the Head of Tax Office on behalf of the Director General of Taxes issues a Certificate electronically to Mr. David by no later than 1 (one) working day after the SPPH is submitted.
