Juridical Interpretation Dispute on Fiscal Loss Compensation of KPJ

The tax dispute involving KPJ centers on the juridical interpretation of Article 6, Paragraph (2) of the Income Tax Law regarding the sequential mechanism of fiscal loss compensation. The Respondent (DJP) adjusted the fiscal loss compensation for the 2019 Tax Year following the issuance of a 2017 Tax Assessment Letter (SKP), which revised the fiscal net profit and effectively absorbed previous losses.

The Core Conflict: Revised Tax Assessment (SKP) vs. Ultra Petita Principle

KPJ argued that despite the 2017 adjustments, the accumulated losses from 2014 and 2015 were still sufficient to be carried forward to 2019 without violating the ultra petita principle. In its deliberation, the Board of Judges emphasized the legal fact that fiscal loss carryforward is a taxpayer right protected by law, provided it is supported by valid assessment evidence.

Judges' Ruling: Approweb System Validity and Substantive Taxpayer Rights

This decision reaffirms that data validity within the DJP system (Approweb) must synchronize with the taxpayer's substantive right to compensate losses sequentially within the five-year expiration period. The implication for taxpayers is the critical importance of reconciling loss compensation data whenever a new SKP is issued for prior years to maintain the integrity of fiscal loss balances.
