Building Positive Partnerships, The Permanent Establishment and Expatriate Tax Office Welcomes Visit from IKPI Jakarta

The Permanent Establishment and Expatriate Tax Office (KPP Badora) received a working meeting from the Indonesian Tax Consultants Association (IKPI) Jakarta Special Region Branch (Pengda DKJ) in the Meeting Room on the 2nd floor of KPP Badora, Jalan Taman Makam Pahlawan Kalibata, Pancoran, South Jakarta (Wednesday, 29/10).

On this occasion, Natalius, the Head of KPP Badora, accompanied by the heads of the supervision section and tax auditors, welcomed Tan Alim (chairman) and the IKPI Pengda DKJ delegation, including Hery Juwana, Chamdun M, Esty Aryani, Kosasih, and representatives from other branches.

“We really want our partnership with IKPI Pengda Jakarta to be a productive one. We know that IKPI is a solid and professional organization,” said Natalius. “Therefore, if there is anything lacking in the services we provide, please give us your feedback,” he added.

Natalius also emphasized that consultants and tax officials must maintain high standards of ethics and professionalism. He reminded all parties to understand and respect their respective rights and obligations in accordance with the Taxpayer Charter. The charter defines taxpayers’ rights as the obligations of tax officials, and vice versa.

During the discussion, Natalius recounted several past cases that taught valuable lessons. He urged all IKPI members serving as tax representatives to clearly introduce themselves when visiting the Tax Office to ensure smoother communication.

Natalius also emphasized the importance of maintaining integrity. According to him, The Permanent Establishment and Expatriate Tax Office has a special unit that handles internal compliance, and all employees are reminded to always work in accordance with standard operating procedures. “Integrity is non-negotiable. If there are any issues, please let us know. We are also human, and there may be gestures or diction that are inappropriate,” he said.

On that occasion, Tan Alim, Chair of IKPI Pengda DKJ, explained that the visit not only fostered friendship but also introduced the new management for the 2024-2029 term and implemented the central management’s mandate to maintain good relations between tax consultants and tax authorities in the regions.

“We want to strengthen synergy so that in the future there will be no misunderstandings between tax consultants and the Tax Office. We also continue to provide guidance to members who violate the code of ethics,” said Tan Alim.

Natalius then explained the brief profile of KPP Badora, which has 132 employees and a revenue target of IDR 17.268 trillion in 2025. About 70 percent of the revenue comes from the Electronic Commerce (PMSE) sector, such as Google, TikTok, Instagram, Apple, and Microsoft. This KPP manages more than 40 thousand taxpayers. In addition to collecting VAT on E-Commerce, KPP Badora handles taxpayers consisting of expatriates, Permanent Establishments (BUT), Foreign Trade Representative Offices (KPDA), and international entities.

Natalius added that the presence of tax consultants is very helpful because it facilitates communication between foreign taxpayers and tax authorities, given the time zone differences and distance constraints. “We prefer taxpayers to be represented by consultants because communication becomes more efficient,” he said.

The meeting concluded with a group photo, as both parties reaffirmed their commitment to professional, transparent, and ethical cooperation to support the national tax system. They agreed to enhance communication and jointly promote ethical standards and efficient tax administration.
