Benefits of being a PKP
PKP can credit the Input VAT and request a refund of the VAT Overpayment. If in a tax period, the output tax is greater than the input tax, the difference is the VAT that must be paid. If in a Tax Period, the Input Tax that can be credited is greater than the Output Tax, the difference is the excess tax which is compensated for the next Tax Period. For the excess of Input Tax, a refund application can be submitted at the end of the financial year.
Please note that the Input Tax obtained before the entrepreneur is registered as a PKP cannot be credited.
For the excess of Input Tax, a refund application can be submitted in each Tax Period by:
PKP exporting Tangible BKP;
PKP submitting BKP and/or submitting JKP to Value Added Tax Collector;
PKP submitting BKP and/or submitting JKP for which Value Added Tax is not collected;
PKP exporting Intangible BKP;
PKP exporting JKP; and/or
PKP is not in production yet
The refund of Input VAT Overpayment as referred to in letter a to letter e, which has the criteria as a low-risk PKP, is carried out with a preliminary refund of VAT Overpayment.
For PKP who has not made a delivery of BKP or JKP that is subject to VAT for a maximum of 3 years, the Input Tax that has been credited and has been given a refund must be paid back by the PKP.
If during a Tax Period, PKP in addition to making a delivery that is subject to VAT, also makes a delivery that is not subject to VAT, as long as the part of the delivery that is subject to VAT can be known from its books, the amount of Input Tax that can be credited is the Input Tax relating to the delivery that is subject to VAT.
If during a Tax Period, PKP apart from making a delivery that is subject to VAT, it also makes a delivery that is not subject to VAT, while the Input Tax for the delivery that is subject to VAT cannot be known with certainty, the amount of Input Tax that can be credited for the delivery that is subject to VAT is calculated using the guidelines set out by the Minister of Finance.
