FAQs

What should an end-to-end SPP‑TDLN operating model include?

A traceable chain from location evidence capture to tax determination at checkout, invoicing, payment and settlement matching, VAT control account postings, and a transaction-level support file that reconciles to month-end totals.

What are the minimum data fields finance needs to store for audit-ready VAT?

Immutable Order ID, product/service code, VAT rate and amount applied, currency/FX logic, location evidence fields and outcome, invoice number linked to Order ID, PSP payment reference, settlement batch ID, and refund/chargeback links [...]

What should a month-end VAT close checklist look like under SPP‑TDLN?

Confirm data completeness across orders/PSP/settlements/bank feeds, resolve or document exceptions, produce a reconciliation pack tying orders to PSP to settlements to bank, roll forward VAT output control, and retain raw reports, mappings, [...]

How do we reconcile VAT when settlements are net of fees, reserves, or timing delays?

Reconcile gross-to-gross using a consistent anchor (order, payment, or settlement), post via clearing accounts (e.g., PSP/platform clearing and VAT output control), and explain differences with fee, reserve, refund, and cut-off schedules rather [...]

Which transaction flows should we implement first for cross-border digital VAT?

Start with the highest-volume, most automated checkout flows (often direct PSP), then marketplaces/platforms with net settlements and fee complexity, and finally bank transfer/manual invoicing where process discipline matters most.

How do we decide withholding at payment time without slowing AP down?

Use vendor-master status + current documentation checks, a single threshold ledger with running totals, and a routing rule that escalates “crossing/exceeded” events for review while keeping standard under-threshold payments on the normal [...]

How should we segment sellers and agents before applying the new threshold logic?

Map counterparties by individual vs entity, seller vs agent, declared tax regime (MSME final vs non-MSME vs unknown), volume/criticality, and payment route so the threshold controls only apply to in-scope individual MSME [...]

What month-end controls help prevent threshold tracking and withholding from drifting?

Reconcile the threshold ledger to the payment register, review all crossing/exceeded events and ensure settings were updated, monitor exception ageing, run duplicate vendor checks (e.g., by NIK/NPWP), and spot-check a small sample [...]

What documents should we collect to support a “no withholding yet” position?

Keep identity and NPWP/NIK details, a status declaration you can operationalise (with versioning), contract terms covering status changes and withholding mechanics, and a threshold monitoring record that reproduces your decision at the [...]
