This is a standardized approach to transfer pricing documentation developed by OECD/G-20 BEPS Report Action 13 (finalized in October 2015).

The three-tiered TPD under PMK 213 consists of the following document requirements:

  1. A “Master file” that consists of standardized information relevant for all MNE group
  2. A “Local file” that consists of information specifically on related-party transactions of the local taxpayer; and/or
  3. A Country-by-country (“CbC”) Report that consists of certain information relating to the global allocation of economic activity within the MNE group

The Master and local files must be prepared by taxpayers that fulfil one or more of the criteria stated below:

  • Taxpayers that earned gross revenue of more than IDR 50,000,000,000 (fifty billion rupiah) in the previous fiscal year; or
