Abstract

The government’s goal of increasing revenue through taxation is contrary to the company’s goal as a taxpayer: to reduce the tax burden and increase profits while still complying with government tax regulations. This study aims to determine how tax planning is used to reduce the cost of VAT and PPh Article 4(2) at PT. BAP 2013–2017 using a qualitative research case study approach. The results of the research show that the implementation of the tax planning of PPN and PPh article 4 (2) transfer of land and buildings, as well as land and buildings at PT. BAP is tax planning by avoiding tax violations, delaying input tax crediting, and tax planning through purchasing BKP with VAT. Still, the implementation of this tax planning has not been efficient due to a lack of knowledge and awareness of paying taxes, causing losses to PT. BAP of IDR 3,340,314,823.
