- Abstract
Unit linked insurance companies have two activities, namely assurance services and investment management services. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether or not unit linked life insurance services are included in the terms of Taxable Services that impose Value Added Tax (VAT), and how the imposition and calculation of VAT are carried out on a Tax Imposition Basis (TIB). Based on a Tax Court Decision case study, there is a dispute as to whether or not unit linked life insurance services impose VAT. There is a difference of opinion between the Directorate General of Taxation (DGT) and insurance companies and judges. The method in this research is descriptive analysis in the form of a case study. Analysis of the VAT treatment of unit linked life insurance services is carried out by interviewing informants and through a study of the literature. The result is that all parties agree that the assurance service does not impose VAT, while there are different opinions concerning the investment management service. Analysis is also carried out on the calculation of the VAT on a TIB for unit linked investment management service as the replacement price based on the investment management fee charged to the customer and the top-up charge of the investment.
