What is a Taxable Entity (PKP) in Indonesia?

A Taxable Entity or PKP (Pengusaha Kena Pajak) in Indonesia is a business entity that is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) and/or Luxury Goods Sales Tax. In simpler terms, any business that sells goods or services is generally classified as a Taxable Entity.

Benefits of Being a Taxable Entity

• Input Tax Credit: A Taxable Entity is entitled to an input tax credit, which is the tax paid on purchases of goods or services used for business activities. This credit can be used to offset the output tax that must be paid.

• Tax Collection from Customers: A Taxable Entity can collect VAT from its customers and remit it to the government.

• Company Image: Being a Taxable Entity can enhance a company's image, as it demonstrates tax compliance and professionalism.

• Access to a Wider Market: Some government tenders or business collaborations with large companies often require potential partners to be Taxable Entities.

• Obtain Legal Certainty: By registering as a Taxable Entity, a company has a clear legal status and rights.

• Prevent Tax Disputes: Understanding and fulfilling tax obligations can minimize the risk of tax disputes with the tax authorities.

• Support National Development: Taxes collected from Taxable Entities are used by the government to fund infrastructure, public services, and other development programs.
