VAT and sales tax software for Mekari Jurnal
Mekari Jurnal records the tax on every transaction and hands the sales invoices to Mekari Klikpajak, which issues e-Faktur and files under a DJP licence. That covers Indonesia. Sell to a buyer in the United States or the EU and the obligation sits outside both. Commenda registers you and files across 50 states and 70+ countries.
Trusted by global businesses
Keep Indonesia, add every other country
Mekari Klikpajak holds an official DJP licence and issues e-Faktur, e-Bupot, e-Billing and e-Filing. Its scope is Indonesian tax. Commenda registers, files and remits VAT, GST and sales tax across 70+ other countries.
Monitor your exposure abroad
Nothing in the Jurnal and Klikpajak pair measures a foreign threshold. Commenda measures your Jurnal transactions against economic and physical thresholds in all 50 US states, every EU member state and 70+ countries, and alerts you at 80%.
One relationship instead of one per country
Filing VAT manually country by country is the most common multi-jurisdiction problem we hear. One portal, one calendar, and one team handling filing and remittance everywhere you are registered.
Coverage comparison
What does the Mekari stack cover, and where does it stop?
The first row goes Mekari's way, because Klikpajak genuinely files Indonesian tax. The figures come from Mekari's own pages on the Klikpajak integration, tax automation with Klikpajak, its tax feature page, and its pricing plans, checked on July 30, 2026.

Calculate taxes globally on Mekari Jurnal using Commenda
Jurnal records the tax on every transaction and hands the sales invoices to Klikpajak, where PPN becomes an e-Faktur. A sale to a buyer in Texas or Germany carries a different tax that neither product calculates. Commenda works that rate out from the ship-to address on the same transaction, down to US county, city and district level, using the tax code on the product or service.
Track your global exposure from Mekari Jurnal
PKP status in Indonesia is a domestic test. A US state, an EU member state or Australia each run their own, and most US states start an obligation at $100,000 of sales or 200 transactions in twelve months. Commenda measures your Jurnal transactions against each rule and notifies you at 80%, before you cross. A short questionnaire covers physical presence, because a contractor or stored inventory never shows on an invoice.
Automatically remit transactions around the world
Klikpajak files and pays through the DJP systems, which is the whole Indonesian job and none of the rest. Commenda builds the return from the same transaction data and files across all 50 US states, the EU with OSS and IOSS, and GST in APAC and Canada. Remittance is tracked per jurisdiction, and amended returns are filed where a period needs correcting.
Manage your customers and exemptions in one place
A US wholesale customer who should not be charged tax gives you a resale certificate, and an EU business customer gives you a VAT number that has to validate. Neither is an Indonesian document and neither has a home in Jurnal. Commenda collects certificates through a portal your customers upload to, validates each one, and applies it automatically in the states where it is valid.
Consolidation
What happens to tax on your first sale outside Indonesia?
Mekari built a complete answer to one country's tax administration, and Indonesian compliance is the part of this stack that works. The question this page answers is what happens on the first invoice that leaves Indonesia, because that is where the Mekari answer runs out.
Coretax rebuilt the Indonesian side and changed nothing abroad
Klikpajak documents that Coretax took effect on 1 January 2025 under PMK 81/2024, integrating registration, reporting, payment and supervision, moving PKP confirmation into the electronic system and unifying payment deadlines to the 15th of the following month. That is a large change to one country's administration. A US state threshold and an EU OSS return did not move at all.
A domestic rate change tells you nothing about the destination
Klikpajak records that PPN went from 10% to 11% on 1 April 2022 and to 12% on 1 January 2025 under Law 7 of 2021, with the 12% rate applied to goods classified as luxury. Meanwhile 45 US states levy a sales tax, five levy none, and home-rule jurisdictions in Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois and Louisiana set their own. One rate at home, many answers abroad.
Only sales invoices cross from Jurnal into Klikpajak
Mekari states that the data importable into Klikpajak is sales invoice data created in Jurnal. A Shopee or Tokopedia order, a Stripe checkout and an app store payout often land in the books as summarised records after the fact. Foreign thresholds are assessed on all of your sales into a jurisdiction, not on the share that happened to be raised as an invoice.
One ledger behind every channel
Commenda connects each source directly, across 100+ integrations, and consolidates into one ledger tagged by ship-to jurisdiction. Each transaction carries its origin and any tax a marketplace already collected, so facilitated revenue stays separate from revenue that still needs tax. The result is one exposure figure per country, one return per period, and every line traceable back to the invoice it came from.
Cost of growth
What does the Mekari stack cover, and what does it cost?
Mekari Jurnal publishes its plans in full and Klikpajak sits in the add-on list beside them. The point of this table is not that Jurnal is expensive. It is that the Indonesian tax stack is complete and priced, and nothing on the list reaches a jurisdiction outside Indonesia.
