VAT and sales tax software for Mekari Jurnal

Jurnal is the accounting application and Klikpajak is the tax application, and Mekari draws that line itself. Jurnal handles recording, bookkeeping and financial reports, and produces withholding and sales tax list reports you can filter by date, period and tax type and export as PDF, CSV or XLS. Klikpajak handles the tax administration: creating tax invoices with e-Faktur, issuing withholding certificates with e-Bupot, generating official DJP billing IDs, and paying and filing through e-Billing and e-Filing. It is registered as an official DJP application service provider under licence SK KEP-545/PJ/2022. Klikpajak is listed as an add-on in Jurnal's own pricing.

No, and we would rather be direct about it than imply otherwise. Indonesian PPN is not part of our published country coverage, and Klikpajak already holds the DJP licence that work runs through. Where a market needs local credentials we work with vetted local partners under our coordination, so you file and remit through one relationship rather than sourcing an agent yourself. What Commenda takes on is everything outside Indonesia: registration, threshold monitoring, filing and remittance across all 50 US states, the EU and 70+ countries. Tell us the markets you actually sell into and we will say which we cover directly and which run through a partner.

No. The tax automation in the Mekari product set is Indonesian: PPN, income tax, e-Bupot, e-Bupot Unifikasi, e-Bupot 21/26 and e-Faktur, filed and paid through the DJP systems. A sale to a buyer in a US state or an EU member state carries a tax those systems do not calculate, on a return they do not produce, against a registration Klikpajak's licence does not cover. Commenda reads the same Jurnal transactions and handles that side: the rate from the ship-to address, the registration where you have crossed a threshold, and the filed return.

No. Coretax took effect on 1 January 2025 under PMK 81/2024. It integrates registration, reporting, payment and supervision into one system, moves PKP confirmation into the electronic process, simplifies NPWP registration and unifies tax payment deadlines to the 15th of the month after the tax period ends. Every one of those is a change to Indonesian administration. A US state's economic nexus test, an EU OSS return and an Australian GST registration all work exactly as they did before. The obligations Coretax does not touch are the ones we take on.

No. One business-to-consumer digital sale into the EU can create a VAT obligation in the customer's country, but EU One Stop Shop lets you register for VAT in a single member state and file for cross-border sales across all 27 from that one registration. For sellers based outside the EU we usually recommend the Netherlands or Ireland. IOSS is the separate scheme for imported low-value goods sold to EU consumers, so which one applies depends on where your goods ship from and what they are worth. Commenda determines the right registration for your flow and files it.

Yes, because we do not rely on Jurnal being complete. Mekari states that the data importable into Klikpajak is sales invoice data created in Jurnal, so anything that arrives as a settlement summary from a marketplace or a checkout is outside that flow. Commenda connects those sources directly instead, across 100+ integrations covering marketplaces, billing platforms and other ledgers, with a REST API for a custom stack and a mapped CSV upload where no connector exists. Marketplace facilitator rules then keep platform-collected tax separate from your direct sales, so you are not filing on tax someone else already remitted.

Yes, and it is spreading. A growing number of jurisdictions require invoices to be issued through a government-validated electronic system rather than sent as a PDF, with Brazil a prominent example and parts of the EU and Latin America following. The mechanic will feel familiar from e-Faktur: the invoice has to clear the government system before it counts. E-invoicing changes how an invoice is issued and validated rather than how the tax is calculated, which means your tax engine and your invoicing flow have to agree at the moment of issuance. We assess your model per market and tell you where an obligation exists.
