This dispute originated from the issuance of a VAT Underpayment Assessment Letter (SKPKB) for the May 2020 tax period against PT. FI, where the Respondent corrected the VAT Base (DPP) by IDR 365,174,524.00. The Respondent utilized an accounts receivable flow test and data extrapolation based on sampling findings to conclude that there were unreported deliveries by the Taxpayer. The core conflict lies in the validity of using extrapolation methods to determine tax liability specifically for each tax period. The Respondent insisted that discrepancies in accounts receivable reflected hidden deliveries, while PT. FI maintained that all deliveries were supported by valid Tax Invoices and that the differences were merely timing differences and methodological flaws in sampling.
The Board of Judges, in their consideration, emphasized that Value Added Tax is imposed on the legal event of the delivery of Taxable Goods (BKP). Based on a comprehensive evidentiary examination of the general ledger, bank statements, and Tax Invoices, the Board found that PT. FI successfully demonstrated consistency between tax returns and transaction facts. The legal resolution in this decision stated that the extrapolation method used by the Respondent cannot serve as the sole basis for determining a dispute without being supported by tangible physical evidence of delivery during the relevant tax period. Consequently, the Board annulled all of the Respondent's corrections. The implication of this decision provides legal certainty for Taxpayers that tax assessments must not be based solely on mathematical assumptions but must be grounded in the material facts of the delivery.
In conclusion, PT. FI's victory underscores the importance of orderly source document administration and the power of material evidence when facing estimative audit corrections.
