Abstract

There is no disagreement about accountants' expertise in bookkeeping. Initially, the assumed tax policy was meant to alleviate bookkeeping requirements for small and medium-sized businesses that were unable to do so. However, why does the accounting profession benefit from not performing bookkeeping if it has a specific gross revenue? This issue encourages authors to evaluate Indonesia's presumptive tax regulations for accountants' professional services. The objectives of this research are to ascertain why accountants employ Net Income Calculation Norms to determine their income taxes, to assess presumptive tax policies through the perspective of tax collection principles, and to explore more suitable presumptive tax policies for the accounting profession. This study applies a qualitative method, collecting data through in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that the accounting profession's presumptive tax policy fulfills the concept of ease of administration for taxpayers but not the principle of substance over form or revenue productivity. The government should deregulate the policy of Net Income Calculation Norms for Accountant Professional Services so that it maintains consistency with the policy objective of providing presumptive taxation to taxpayers with a certain gross sale.
