Negosiasi ihwal besaran tagihan pajak tersebut buntu meskipun Google memberi gimmick investasi yang ingin mereka jalankan di Indonesia. Kepala Kantor Wilayah Direktorat Jenderal Pajak Jakarta Khusus, Muhammad Haniv, mengatakan rencana investasi Google tidak akan mengubah hasil pemeriksaan laporan keuangan anak usaha Alphabet Inc itu.
Pemeriksa juga mengecek data pendukung, seperti faktur, kuitansi, dan tagihan. “Investasi itu soal lain. Soal pajak, ya pajak. Tidak akan berpengaruh,” kata Haniv.
Kepada pemeriksa, Google mengaku akan menanamkan investasi sekolah perusahaan rintisan (start-up) untuk mendukung gerakan nasional 1.000 start-up pada 2020. Gerakan itu juga sejalan dengan target pengemlpungan elektronik perdagangan (e-commerce) yang dirancang pemerintah.

Pada 2015, Google mengaku menghasilkan laba Rp 20,9 miliar dan telah menyetor pajak sebesar Rp 5,2 miliar. Dari 282 ribu transaksi yang dihasilkan Google, hanya 35 ribu transaksi yang berasal dari Indonesia. Nilai tersebut sangat jauh dibanding perkiraan Ditjen Pajak yang menyebutkan tunggakan Google hingga Rp 5 triliun untuk tahun pajak 2015.

“Undang-undang sudah memenuhi syarat untuk menjadikan Google sebagai badan usaha tetap,” kata Ken.
Direktur Eksekutif Center for Indonesia Taxation Analysis Yustinus Prastowo mengatakan pemerintah perlu memperhatikan iklim investasi jangka panjang untuk menarik pajak Google. Apalagi apabila kasus ini dibawa ke pengadilan pajak hingga tiga tahun lamanya.
Menurut Prastowo, kasus ini akan berpengaruh terhadap geopolitik Indonesia-Amerika. Setelah Google, Ditjen Pajak juga akan memeriksa kepatuhan Twitter dan Facebook. “Tentu ini akan menyandera kedua belah pihak. Bukan kanena takut, tapi dari sisi investasi otomatis menjadi daya tarik tidak bagus," kata dia.
Prastowo menilai pemerintah perlu mempercayai hasil audit laporan keuangan Google yang telah diserahkan, Dengan demikian, negosiasi akan berjalan mulus tanpa proses pengadilan pajak.
“Laporan keuangan yang telah diaudit sudah fair. Kalau mereka submit, tapi tidak dipercayai, susah juga akuntan kami.
