VAT rate is 12 percent but feels like 11

PPN sekarang 11 atau 12 persen sih?

The situation

The VAT rate is 12 percent from 1 January 2025. For most goods and services PMK 131/2024 uses a base of 11/12 of the price, so the tax equals 11 percent.

The law

  • Art 7, Law 8/1983 on VAT and Luxury Goods Sales Tax (PPN Law), as last amended by Law 6/2023: VAT rate is 12 percent from 1 January 2025; exports are zero rated
  • PMK 131/2024 on VAT for 2025: Luxury goods: 12 percent on the full price; other goods and services: 12 percent on an alternative base of 11/12 of the price, an effective 11 percent

What it means for you

Only luxury goods subject to luxury sales tax use 12 percent on the full price. Example: price IDR 100,000,000: base IDR 91,666,667 x 12 percent = IDR 11,000,000. The DJP says to use invoice code 04 for the 11/12 base.

What to do

  1. Check if any items are luxury goods.
  2. Use the 11/12 base for others.
  3. Use code 04 on invoices where it applies.
  4. Check your billing software.

Using the full price base overcharges customers.
