Seize Opportunities: Embrace the Volunteer Disclosure Program for Tax Amnesty II

The deadline for participating in the Volunteer Disclosure Program (PPS) or widely referred to as Tax Amnesty II is June 30, 2022. This program starts on January 1, 2022, referring to Law Number 7 of 2021 concerning the Harmonization of Tax Regulations (“UU HPP”) which was passed on October 29, 2021.

The Indonesian tax authorities provide an opportunity for taxpayers to disclose assets domestically and abroad that have not been disclosed, to increase taxpayer compliance and encourage Indonesia’s economic growth.

Volunteer Disclosure Program

In the implementation of PPS, there are two policy schemes where policy I is intended for taxpayers who have participated in the previous Tax Amnesty period and there are still assets that have not been disclosed for the year 1985-2015. Meanwhile, policy II is for Individual Taxpayers who have not disclosed assets obtained from 2016 to 2020. The procedure for implementing PPS is regulated in Minister of Finance Regulation Number 196/PMK.03/2021 dated December 23, 2021.

Notice of Asset Disclosure (SPPH)

PPS participants can disclose their assets by using a Notice of Disclosure of Assets (SPPH). SPPH has two different formats for each policy and can be submitted electronically through the website of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT). Provisions for filling SPPH are listed in the attachment of PMK Number 196 of 2021.

If there are errors in writing, calculating, changing rates, and other conditions on the SPPH, the Taxpayer can still make corrections without any limitation on the number of corrections. Meanwhile, for taxpayers who wish to revoke the SPPH, the taxpayer can correct the SPPH and fill in the assets, debts, and net assets column with a value of zero.

After the SPPH is submitted and all requirements are met, the DGT will issue a Certificate (SKet) showing proof of Taxpayer participation. SW Indonesia has been assisting individual clients to participate in PPS in support of the Indonesian government’s program.
