Luxury House Tax Amount According to PPnBM

According to PPnBM, luxury homes subject to tax rates are houses with a total area of 400m2 or more, as well as houses that use electricity with a power of more than 6,600 watts. The amount of this luxury home tax itself is 20% of the transaction price and is only charged once when the house is handed over to the consumer.

The purpose of holding PPnBM takes into account Article 5 of the Value Added Tax (PPN) Law, including:

  • Fairness of tax burden between low-income consumers and high-income consumers
  • Control of consumption of luxury goods
  • Protection against small or traditional producers
  • State revenue security

It should also be noted that PPnBM which also includes luxury house tax has its own characteristics, namely PPnBM is an additional levy in addition to or after VAT. In addition, PPnBM is not a tax that can be credited with VAT. PPnBM is only collected once when importing BKP which is classified as luxury or when the delivery of luxury BKP is carried out by a manufacturer PKP from BKP which is classified as luxury.

How to Calculate Luxury Home Tax

Luxury house tax must be paid by the Taxable Entrepreneur (PKP) and collected by the State Treasury Service Office, the Treasurer of the Central and Regional Governments, and the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. Tax payments or deposits can be made using the Tax Deposit Form (SSP) which is available at the tax service office and Tax Counseling and Consulting Service (KP2KP) offices throughout Indonesia.

The SSP is said to be complete and valid if the amount deposited is in accordance with what is stated in the Taxpayer Nominative List (DNWP) prepared by the Bank receiving the payment, the Post and Giro Office, or the Office of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise receiving the deposit. For reporting, after the luxury home tax alias PPnBM is calculated as PKP, the taxpayer must report it to the local Tax Service Office no later than the end of the following month after the tax period ends.

For example, for the March tax, it must be reported no later than April 15. PPnBM listed on SKPKB, SKPKBT, and STP that has been paid off must be reported immediately to the issuing KPP. For PPnBM on imports collected by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, the payment is no later than 1 day after the collection is made.

Then how to calculate luxury home tax? Here’s an illustration!

PT Maju Bangun Persada sells luxury home products at a price of Rp. 25 billion in the Cilandak area. The house is included in BKP which in addition to being subject to VAT, is also subject to PPnBM at a rate of 20%. So, how much is the PPnBM or luxury home tax?

Base for the Imposition of Home Tax on PPnBM = IDR 25,000,000,000

PPN = 10% x Rp25.000.000.000 = Rp2.500.000.000

PPnBM = 20% x Rp25,000,000,000 = Rp5,000,000,000
