Abstract

AbstractDue to the lengthy, complicated, and expensive process, tax disputes in Indonesia are often in the spotlight. Moreover, the frequently recurring disputes for similar cases add to the long list of the issues. To that end, this study has two objectives. The first is to analyze Value Added Tax (VAT) concepts in Indonesia's regulations. The second is to analyze the VAT dispute according to the sample generated from the 2019 Tax Court decree. Thus, it is qualitative research with inductive reasoning using data collection techniques through documentation and literature studies. This study elucidates concepts underlying VAT regulations that have received scant attention in the prior literature. The core of the VAT dispute issues stems from divergent perspectives on VAT provisions between the tax authority and taxable persons. The primary issues in VAT disputes generally involve disagreements over interpretation and inaccuracies in supporting evidence on both the input and output sides. Given that the 2019 Tax Court decree upholds only 32% of the tax authorities' corrections, knowledge of the VAT concept is critical for readers of laws and regulations to grasp the underlying concept of the regulation.Keywords: Tax dispute; Value-added tax; Tax court decision.Abstrak Sengketa pajak di Indonesia sering menjadi sorotan karena prosesnya yang panjang, rumit, dan memakan biaya. Selain itu, sengketa yang kerap kali berulang untuk kasus serupa menambah daftar panjang masalah. Untuk itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan konsep PPN di dalam ketentuan perundang-undangan perpajakan Indonesia. Kajian ini juga ditujukan untuk mensintesiskan sengketa PPN dengan sampel dari putusan Pengadilan Pajak tahun 2019. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan penalaran induktif yang menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa studi dokumentasi dan literatur. Kajian ini mengungkap konsep-konsep di balik peraturan PPN yang belum banyak dibahas literatur sebelumnya ketika inti permasalahan sengketa PPN justru berpangkal pada perbedaan sudut pandang atas ketentuan PPN tersebut di antara otoritas pajak dan pengusaha kena pajak (PKP). Isu utama dalam sengketa PPN secara umum meliputi perbedaan penafsiran dan ketidakakuratan bukti pendukung, baik di sisi input maupun output. Mengingat putusan Pengadilan Pajak 2019 hanya mempertahankan 32% koreksi otoritas pajak, tampak bahwa pengetahuan tentang konsep PPN sangat penting di dalam memberikan pemahaman akan konsep yang mendasari peraturan tersebut.Katakunci: Sengketa pajak; Pajak pertambahan nilai; Putusan pengadilan pajak.

Abstract

Purpose: The requirement for a transaction price measurement system that accurately reflects actual value is becoming increasingly urgent as firms expand globally. The argument over the applicability of fair value (FV) and arm's length principle (ALP) arose since both are applicable concurrently due to their broad confluence. This study analyzes and synthesizes the similarities and distinctions, as well as the impact of FV and ALP on tax purposes.Method: The study is descriptive qualitative in nature. We gathered data through document analysis and in-depth interviews. Five informants from academics, policymakers, and tax practitioners were involved in the study. Before the interview, we familiarized the outline to decrease the random error, and all informants gave verbatim consent.Findings: An outline of the relationship between FV and ALP and their origins is provided. The direction in which the two procedures are designated is crucial, even though they can be employed concurrently to accomplish the entity's objectives, one for financial reporting and the other for transfer pricing. The narrative describing the similarities and contrasts between the two methods also plays a role in the analysis. It discusses the significance of the long-established ALP regime to FV, which has recently gained much attention even though it appears to be new. Finally, prudence in taking policies related to the harmonization of FV and ALP is an emphasis on considering the consequences for tax purposes. ALP is more often acknowledged by tax administration than FV. Implementing FV for tax purposes is discussed, along with related considerations.Novelty: The contribution of this work is a more brief and straightforward understanding of the business environment and the literature regarding FV and ALP. In contrast to the overarching goal of prior works, the current study analyzes the impact of FV and ALP adoption on taxation.
