Tax Compliance

Commercial tax preparation can be extremely complex. Records and submissions must be prepared carefully in order to minimize your risk of unforeseen tax liabilities, fees, or audits.

Our team works with you to prepare complete and accurate corporate tax filings — from periodic monthly reports (Income Tax Art. 21, 23, 25, 4(2)) to your annual corporate tax return — so nothing is missed and nothing is filed late.

Tax Review & Due Diligence

Tax always comes into play in almost every facet of the business. To avoid surprise losses related to tax, advice needs to be sought before you enter into business transactions — tax planning is best developed in advance. However, certain transactions may have been undertaken without proper tax planning, or without any at all.

In those situations, you need to identify the tax risks and find ways to mitigate them. Our team works with you on a regular basis to review your business activities, records, and processes, and confirm they're fully in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Tax Planning & Management

Tax outcomes are shaped long before a return is ever filed — they're decided at the moment a transaction is structured. Businesses that only think about tax after a deal is signed often end up paying for decisions that could have gone differently.

We work with you ahead of major transactions — acquisitions, restructurings, new ventures — to plan the tax position in advance, so you enter every decision already understanding its tax consequences.

Tax Research & Advisory Services

Indonesian tax regulation changes often, and a rule that applied last year may no longer apply today. Businesses that rely on outdated assumptions can find themselves non-compliant without realizing it.

Our advisory team monitors regulatory developments and translates them into what they specifically mean for your business, so you always have current, practical guidance to act on — not just the regulation itself.

Transfer Pricing Documentation

Businesses with related-party transactions — between a parent company, subsidiaries, or affiliated entities — are required to demonstrate that pricing between them reflects fair market terms. Without proper documentation, these transactions are a common target for tax authority scrutiny and reclassification.

We prepare transfer pricing documentation that meets DGT requirements and is built to withstand review, protecting you from the reclassification and penalty risk that comes with inadequate documentation.

Tax Audit Assistance

During a tax audit, a taxpayer may not agree with the corrections and findings put forward by the tax auditors. These must be dealt with properly and professionally — otherwise, they may automatically transform into tax assessments.

In these situations, you need to assert your stance with reasonable technical arguments along with relevant supporting documents. Our team accompanies, assists, and/or represents you throughout the audit process — jointly reviewing the documents required by the auditor and preparing a response letter on the auditor's findings, through to the issuance of the Audit Tax Assessment Letter.

Special Tax Case Assistance

During a tax audit, the tax auditor may persist with proposed adjustments even where the taxpayer does not agree with the assessment.

In these situations, you need to file a formal tax objection letter with the Regional Tax Office, followed by discussions with tax officials. Our team provides special assistance for tax cases such as filing objections to Tax Assessment Letters, filing appeals to the Tax Court, and/or submitting requests for cancellation or reduction of penalties in Tax Assessment Letters.

Tax Dispute Resolutions & Litigations

Not every tax dispute is resolved at the objection stage. When disagreement with the tax authority persists beyond that point, the matter moves into formal litigation — a process that requires legal representation, not just tax expertise.

Our tax attorneys represent you before the Tax Court, building the technical and legal argument needed to defend your position through to resolution.
