Key Features for Indonesian Compliance
When evaluating an invoice generator for use in Indonesia, ensuring compliance with local tax regulations is paramount. Indonesian e-invoicing, known as e-Faktur, is mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses (Pengusaha Kena Pajak, PKP) with an annual revenue exceeding IDR 4.8 billion. These businesses must issue and report invoices electronically through the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) system for approval, operating on a clearance model.
- NPWP Number Inclusion: Invoices must include the Tax Identification Number (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak or NPWP) for both the supplier and the customer.
- Legal Requirements for Indonesian Invoices: The generator should support the mandatory XML format for e-Faktur submission, which is then validated by the DGT and assigned a unique serial number (Nomor Seri Faktur Pajak - NSFP) and a QR code. Essential data fields include supplier and customer details, invoice specifics (serial number, date, transaction code), description of goods/services, amounts, and tax.
- Support for Rupiah (IDR): The software must accurately handle transactions and display amounts in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It should also correctly calculate and display Value Added Tax (VAT/PPN) as per Indonesian tax laws.
