Introduction

This tutorial provides a clear and concise guide on how to calculate corporate income tax (PPh Badan) in Indonesia. It covers different tax rates applicable under the UMKM, Article 17, and Article 31E of the Income Tax Law (UU PPh). Understanding these calculations is essential for business owners and accountants to ensure compliance with tax regulations.

Step 1: Understanding Tax Categories

Before calculating the tax, familiarize yourself with the different categories:

• UMKM Rate: This rate applies to small and medium enterprises.
• Article 17 Rate: This is the standard corporate tax rate applied to general companies.
• Article 31E Rate: This rate is for specific business sectors with incentives or different regulations.

Step 2: Gather Financial Data

Collect the necessary financial information for your business:

• Total revenue
• Cost of goods sold (COGS)
• Operating expenses
• Other taxable income

Ensure all data is accurate and up-to-date to avoid miscalculations.

Step 3: Calculate Net Income

To determine your taxable income, follow these steps:

1. Calculate Gross Revenue: Sum up all revenue streams.
2. Subtract COGS:
   • Gross Revenue - COGS = Gross Profit
3. Subtract Operating Expenses:
   • Gross Profit - Operating Expenses = Net Profit Before Tax

Step 4: Apply Relevant Tax Rate

Depending on your business category, apply the appropriate tax rate to the net income:

• For UMKM: Use the UMKM tax rate.
• For Article 17: Use the standard corporate tax rate.
• For Article 31E: Use the specified rate for your business sector.

Example Calculation

Assuming a net profit of IDR 100,000,000:

• If the UMKM tax rate is 0.5%, the tax would be:

  Tax = Net Profit * UMKM Rate
  Tax = 100,000,000 * 0.005 = IDR 500,000
  

Step 5: Account for Tax Incentives and Deductions

Investigate if your business qualifies for any tax incentives or deductions. This can reduce your taxable income and overall tax liability. Common deductions may include:

• Employee salaries
• Operational costs
• Business development expenses

Step 6: Prepare Tax Documentation

Compile all necessary documentation to support your tax calculation:

• Financial statements
• Receipts for deductions
• Any correspondence with tax authorities

Proper documentation is crucial for filing taxes and defending your calculations if questioned.

Calculating corporate income tax can seem daunting, but breaking it down into clear steps makes it manageable.
