Guide to the Correct Tax Refund Process
In general, tax recovery steps can be carried out through several methods, such as e-filling or through a registered Tax Service Office (KPP). These methods have been clearly regulated in the Law and published by the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) as an institution that has the relevant authority. The following is a complete guide to carrying out the tax refund process in accordance with applicable regulations.
1. Via e-Filling
e-Filling is a system that regulates the submission and reporting of taxes to find out the Annual Tax Return electronically. Taxpayers can submit applications directly via the official website https://djponline.pajak.go.id using the following steps.
- Taxpayers need to fill out their SPT completely, including income issues, PTKP (Non-Taxable Income), PPh deductions from other parties, tax deductions, and others.
- After completing the SPT via e-filling completely, the excess tax payment will be immediately returned according to the results of the audit that has been carried out.
- Taxpayers need to prepare "Proof of Withholding" and other documents, then they can be uploaded in PDF format as archival evidence in their nominal tax return.
2. Submitted by registered KPP
Apart from using the e-filling method, tax refunds can also be done via the KPP (Tax Services Office). Taxpayers can directly submit their application to the KPP, then carry out the steps that have been determined according to the rules, namely:
- Applications are submitted in writing using Indonesian. After that, Taxpayers (WP) are required to complete the personal WP form, corporate WP, the Agency does not have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP), and include a power of attorney if necessary.
- Prepare documents including original proof of tax payment, tax calculation, reasons for requesting a nominal tax refund along with the reasons.
Taxpayers who have submitted a refund request using one of the methods above usually need to wait some time. The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) will conduct research on the Taxpayer's application, and a decision is usually issued after approximately 3 months.
The tax refund process can also be done through several methods, one of which is by sending postal mail and using an expedition service which is equipped with proof of delivery of the letter. This process allows taxpayers to submit documents related to tax recovery in a secure and verified manner.
