In Article 17 of Law Number 6 of 1983 concerning General Provisions and Procedures for Taxation, as amended several times by Law Number 28 of 2007 (KUP Law), tax restitution is an application for the return of the amount of excess tax the taxpayer has paid to the state. This right arises if there is an overpayment of tax as stated in the Annual Tax Return (SPT) or if there is a recovery or deduction error that results in an overpayment of tax. This means that the DGT will return the tax paid by the taxpayer. For information, the realization of tax refunds throughout 2021 reached IDR 196.11 trillion.

Definition of Tax Restitution

Tax restitution is an application for a tax refund submitted by the taxpayer to the state. The term "tax refund" is regulated in the Law on General Regulations and Tax Procedures (UU KUP). Tax restitution occurs when a taxpayer pays more than the amount that should according to tax provisions. The state has the obligation to return the overpayment to the taxpayer after a series of audit processes by the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT). Tax restitution is the government's effort to create a healthy tax system and as a guarantee of trust given by the government to taxpayers. Tax restitution also aims to protect taxpayer rights.
