Tax Agent is “An agent registered with the Authority, who is appointed by a person to act in his name and on his behalf regarding his tax affairs to represent him before the Authority and assist him in fulfillment of the tax obligations.

The definition and provision related to Tax Agent are clearly defined in Article 12, 13,14,15,16, Chapter 2 of Federal Law Number 7 of 2017 on Tax Procedures.

Tax Agents basically help taxable people to meet the requirements that are set by the government for the tax system. The responsibility of a tax agent is to enable the Company to fulfill the tax compliance effectively.
