Taxation Executive Director of the Center for Analysis (CITA) Justin Prastowo added, back taxes correlate with Law Number 28 Year 2007 regarding General Taxation Provisions. "In the Act, the DGT does have the authority to check the retreat five years. After five years, may not," he said.

Periksa Mundur Pajak Google Lima Tahun
Ditjen Pajak Kementerian Keuangan memeriksa mundur laporan keuangan Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd untuk operasional Indonesia lima tahun ke belakang. Kemarin perwakilan Google kembali bertemu dengan Ditjen Pajak. Kepala Kantor Wilayah Jakarta Khusus Ditjen Pajak Kemenkeu Muhammad Haniv menyatakan, pemanggilan terhadap Google terkait dengan penyerahan data pendukung.
Pemerintah juga akan melakukan sinkronisasi data perpajakan yang sebelumnya dikumpulkan secara mandiri.
Permintaan data itu dilakukan sejak setahun lalu. Setelah pencocokan data antara Google dan pemerintah, nanti akan secara legal dihitung jumlah pajak terutang yang harus dibayar Google.
Dia menuturkan, perhitungan tunggakan pajak atas Google dilakukan hingga lima tahun ke belakang. "Kami mulai lakukan pemeriksaan pada 2015, kalau back taxes. Jadi, berapa pajak lima tahun ke belakang. Perhitungan
mereka berapa," kata Haniv
Direktur Eksekutif Center for Taxation Analysis (CITA) Yustinus Prastowo menambahkan, back taxes berkorelasi dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2007 tentang Ketentuan Umum Perpajakan. "Dalam Undang-Undang tersebut, memang DJP punya wewenang untuk memeriksa mundur lima tahun. Setelah lima tahun, tidak boleh,” katanya.
Artinya, meski Google berdiri di Indonesia lebih dari lima tahun, Ditjen Pajak tidak bisa memeriksa melebihi batas waktu tersebut. Selain itu, menurut dia, selama ini pemeriksaan dilakukan secara selektif. ”Faktanya, selama ini
pemeriksaan lebih selektif karena kapasitas kemampuan memeriksa tidak banyak," imbuhnya.
Menurut dia, jalan terbaik untuk menyelesaikan persoalan pajak Google adalah negosiasi. Sebab, model bisnis Google berbeda dengan perusahaan konvensional. Perbedaan tersebut terkait dengan tidak diperlukannya kehadiran kantor secara fisik di Indonesia. Google Asia Pacific Pte.Ltd menjalankan operasionalnya lewat kantor di Singapura. "Kalau sengketa kepengadilan, Selain bertele-tele, ada juga kemungkinan kita kalah cukup tinggi. Sebab, dasar hukumnya belum kuat.
Tunggakan pajak Google Asia Pacific Pte.Ltd hampir sama dengan perusahaan teknologi lainnya seperti Facebook, Twitter, dan Yahoo. Ada kewajiban pajak yang seharusnya dibayarkan kepada pemerintah Indonesia
karena telah menarik keuntungan dari aktivitas bisnis di Indonesia.
