Key Legal Requirements for Indonesian Invoices
To ensure your invoices are legally compliant in Indonesia, several key elements are mandatory. For all VAT-registered businesses (Pengusaha Kena Pajak, or PKP) with annual revenue exceeding IDR 4.8 billion, electronic invoicing (e-Faktur) is compulsory. This means invoices must be reported to and approved by the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) via the e-Faktur platform, operating on a clearance model.
- NPWP Number: The Tax Identification Number (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak) of both the seller and the buyer (for corporate or government entities). For individual buyers, either their NPWP or National Identity Number (NIK)/passport number is required.
- Mandatory Local Tax Details: This includes the official invoice serial number (Nomor Seri Faktur Pajak - NSFP) and a QR code for verification, issued by the tax office. You must also clearly state the Value Added Tax (VAT) amount, which is 12% for 2025, along with the transaction code, date, and a detailed description of goods or services.
- Legal Terms and Conditions: While specific legal terms are integrated into the e-Faktur system's compliance, your invoice should also include standard payment terms, due dates, and authorized signatory details.
