Property Developer Tax

Property developers face layered tax obligations: 2.5% Final Income Tax on sales, 11% VAT on unit delivery, and facilitating BPHTB for buyers. Tax recognition timing differs from accounting because Final Income Tax is collected at AJB. Arunika Consulting helps developers manage property taxes to maintain cash flow and compliance.

Tax Challenges

Final Tax vs Payment Timing

2.5% Final Income Tax must be paid before AJB, even if payment from buyer is installed over years.

VAT on Down Payment

VAT is due when payment is received (including DP), not at unit handover.

DTP VAT Incentive for Housing

Certain houses get Government-Borne VAT incentives, but conditions and administration are complex.

Frequently Asked Questions

When must property Final Tax be paid?

2.5% Final Income Tax must be paid and SSP attached before signing AJB at the notary. Without SSP, AJB cannot be done.

Does the developer collect BPHTB?

No. BPHTB is the buyer's obligation at 5% of NPOP minus NPOPTKP. The developer only facilitates the process.

What if a buyer cancels after DP?

VAT paid on DP can be credited or refunded. Final Income Tax is not due if there is no AJB yet.

Is Arunika Consulting officially licensed as a tax consultant?
