Understanding the Gross Revenue of Corporate Taxpayers
Definition of Gross Circulation – Gross turnover is all income received from business activities before the deduction of expenses incurred by the company. The definition of taxation law and gross turnover of corporate taxpayers according to tax law can be divided into two parts:
Total circulation based on Article 17 and Article 31E of Law No. 36 Year 2008 on Income Tax.
In accordance with PP 23 Year 2018, income tax from businesses received or expected to be received by taxpayers with certain gross turnover.
PP 23/2018 targets certain corporate taxpayers whose annual turnover does not exceed IDR4.8 billion. The tax rate of PP 23/2018 is a final income tax rate of 0.5% for SMEs (small and medium enterprises). However, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) provides relief to corporate taxpayers with gross income above IDR4.8 billion who can utilize the income tax rate facility in PP 23/2018 with a limited validity period.
