A Tax Invoice (Faktur Pajak) is proof of VAT collection issued by a PKP when supplying taxable goods (BKP) or services (JKP). Governed by Article 13 of the VAT Law and PER-03/PJ/2022. The invoice must be issued at the point of supply, or by the end of the delivery month if payment is received before supply.

VAT (Value Added Tax / PPN)
VAT (Pajak Pertambahan Nilai / PPN) is a tax levied on every supply of taxable goods (BKP) and/or taxable services (JKP) within Indonesia's customs area. Governed by Law No. 8/1983 on VAT, last amended by Law No. 7/2021 (UU HPP). The standard VAT rate is 11% since 1 April 2022, rising to 12% from 1 January 2025.
