Luxury goods reporting for government business partners
On September 9 2022, the Directorate General of Taxes issued Regulation No. PER-13/PJ/2022 (‘PER-13’) concerning the Procedures of VAT/Sales Tax on Luxury Goods Reporting for Government Business Partners in relation to the Government Procurement Information System. The issuance of PER-13 was designed to provide clarity and legal certainty to ease the implementation of MoF Regulation No. 58/PMK.03/2022.
Government business partners (GBP) categorised as small entrepreneurs do not need to report VAT or sales tax on luxury goods that have been collected, deposited, and reported by other parties (i.e., marketplaces/retailers designated by the government).
GBP that are not categorised as small entrepreneurs are required to report the delivery of taxable goods or taxable services as VAT that is collected by the VAT collector.
GBP as mentioned above are entrepreneurs that provide goods and/or services through the Government Procurement Information System.
The criterion of ‘small entrepreneur’ is an entrepreneur that has deliveries of taxable goods and/or taxable services with a total gross turnover not exceeding IDR 4.8 billion ($313,000) for one fiscal year, as stipulated in MoF Regulation No. 197/PMK.03/2013 regarding the amendment of MoF Regulation No. 68/PMK.03/2013 concerning small entrepreneurs.
