Tax Audit Assistance

Indonesian taxation embraces a ‘self-assessment’ as well as ‘official assessment’ system. This means that taxpayers on behalf of tax laws, are allowed to calculate the amount of their tax liability (self-assessment) by following taxation guidelines. Despite of that, at any time the government (via the Director General of Taxes) is authorized to conduct an evaluation to verify the correctness of self-calculation done by the taxpayer (official assessment).
