This time, the PINTU application launches a Tax Report feature which can be accessed and downloaded in the application. PINTU users can use this feature as of February 2023.

As crypto asset traders operating officially in Indonesia, we present the Tax Report feature as a form of our real commitment in order to fully supports the rules set by the Government," said PINTU General Counsel Malikulkusno (Dimas) Utomo, in his statement, Wednesday 8 February.

The government through the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) issued Regulation of the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia Number 68/PMK.03/2022 which regulates value-added tax (PPN) and income tax (PPh) on crypto trading transactions.

Based on these rules, sales of crypto assets are subject to a PPh rate of 0.1 percent from transactions through Prospective Physical Traders of Crypto Assets (CPFAK) and purchases of crypto assets are subject to a VAT rate of 0.11 percent.

"In order to meet the needs of tax reporting, the Tax Report feature can be accessed easily in the PINTU application and can be downloaded easily by Pintu users in the form of a Portable Document Format (PDF) file or even sent via email. The data available is very complete from the start transaction date, type of transaction, type of tax, tax rate, tax value, status, and transaction ID number at PINTU. We present everything for user needs for tax reporting purposes," said Dimas.

In the Minister of Finance (PMK) Number 68/PMK.03/2022 concerning Value Added Tax and Income Tax on Crypto Asset Trading Transactions. Taxpayers who are crypto investors must report their crypto assets in the list of assets or debts in their Annual Notification Letter (SPT). Income earned from trading crypto assets is not calculated with other income in the Annual SPT reporting, because it uses the final income tax (PPh) scheme.

"We hope that PINTU users can become responsible investors by following applicable regulations for reporting income tax earned from trading crypto assets. Directly investing in crypto assets is the same as contributing greatly to state income for Indonesia's sustainable development. Of course we hope that asset investors crypto continues to grow in Indonesia and continues to have a positive impact on all Indonesian people," concluded Dimas.
