Abstract

Tax dispute resolution in Indonesia has not yet met the principles of quick, simple, and economical. Taxpayers have to wait more than 3 years for the lawful certainty. This paper elaborates the potential strategy in resolving the tax dispute in Indonesia through administrative law. OECD has suggested taxpayers and revenue body to build positive connection through the changing of confrontation to the collaborative relationship. Mediation is a solution to encourage this positive bond in solving the dispute. It is successfully implemented in Australia. The similar way is strongly recommended for the Indonesian Government to develop a good relationship between taxpayers and revenue body. One of the chances for mediating in an attempt to minimize tax dispute is in the auditing process. This process cannot be easily done because it needs political will and high desired improvement from the Government to make a change. Mediation is an attempt to achieve a win-win solution and is in line with the principles of Pancasila, that is a deliberation for reaching an agreement. If it is done, then mediation will be a courteous way in tax dispute resolution and will be able to improve a good post-dispute relationship in Indonesia.

Bahasa Abstract

Indonesia memiliki persoalan dalam penyelesaian sengketa pajak karena belum mampu mewujudkan prinsip cepat, sederhana dan murah. Wajib pajak harus menunggu lebih dari 3 tahun untuk mendapatkan kepastian hukum. Tulisan ini menjelaskan mengenai kemungkinan strategi potensi penyelesaian sengketa pajak di Indonesia melalui proses hukum administrasi. OECD telah menyarankan untuk meningkatkan hubungan yang lebih baik yaitu merubah dari hubungan konfrontasi menjadi hubungan kolaboratif antara wajib pajak dan fiskus. Mediasi adalah sebuah upaya untuk meningkatkan hubungan yang lebih baik antara kedua belah pihak jika terjadi perselisihan . Mediasi telah berhasil diterapkan di Australia. Cara ini tentunya dapat dijadikan sebagai rujukan bagi Indonesia untuk meningkatkan hubungan yang lebih baik antara fiskus dan wajib pajak. Salah satu peluang upaya mediasi yang dapat dilakukan untuk meminimalisir sengketa pajak adalah mediasi dilakukan pada saat proses pemeriksaan. Namun hal tersebut tidak mudah dilakukan karena membutuhkan political will dan keinginan yang kuat dari pemerintah untuk membuat perubahan. Mediasi merupakan bentuk upaya yang memberikan win-win solution dan sesuai dengan nilai dalam Pancasila yaitu musyawarah untuk mufakat. Jika mediasi bisa diwujudkan, maka mediasi akan menjadi cara yang santun dalam penyelesaian sengketa pajak di Indonesia dan dapat meningkatkan hubungan yang lebih baik pasca perselisihan.
