Based on the results of examinations carried out by the Directorate General of Tax (DGT), a tax assessment letter will be issued, which can result in the tax payable being underpaid, overpaid, or zero. If the taxpayer does not agree, he can file an objection to the said decision. Furthermore, if not satisfied with the objection decision, the Taxpayer can submit an appeal. The final step that can be taken by taxpayers in tax disputes is a review to the Supreme Court.
