Module Objective

The VAT (Value Added Tax) report module is used to generate a report that details all transactions related to Value Added Tax (VAT). This report can separate Input VAT (VAT In, from purchases) and Output VAT (VAT Out, from sales), and it serves as the primary data source for the preparation and reporting of the monthly VAT Return (SPT Masa PPN).

1. Report Parameters (Filter)

The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the VAT report that will be generated.

Here is an explanation for each parameter:

  • Status:

    • Use this dropdown to filter transactions by their status.

  • Currency:

    • Choose how currency values will be displayed in the report.

  • View:

Tips & Important Notes

  • This report is the primary data source for the Tax and Customs team to prepare the monthly VAT return.

  • Run this report separately for Vat In and Vat Out to get the summaries needed for filling out the tax return forms.

  • To ensure the accuracy of this report, make sure all sales and purchase invoices that include VAT have been recorded correctly in the system.
