Small-scale construction, renovation, specialized MEP trades and subcontracts link contracts, physical progress, final tax withholding, and material or tool rentals. Neracia matches these records to prepare Output Invoice drafts, input VAT checks and draft monthly VAT returns in Coretax. The service is draft-only: the client/company officer reviews, approves, signs, submits in Coretax, creates billing codes and pays independently. Neracia does not act as a tax proxy.

DRAFT-ONLY CLAUSE & TAX PROXY LIMITATIONS (PMK 44/2026)

Neracia Prepares Drafts; Client Approves, Signs & Submits Independently

Neracia prepares invoice drafts and return drafts; the client approves, signs, submits in Coretax and creates billing codes independently. Neracia does not act as a tax proxy. The client remains responsible for submission, electronic signatures, and payment. Access in Coretax DJP is delegated via the official Assign Role feature as a Drafter without sharing main passwords, certificate passphrases, or OTP codes.

SPECIFIC VAT CHALLENGES & OFFICIAL REGULATIONS

4 Typical VAT Challenges
for Small Contractors & Subcontractors.

This guide focuses on subcontractors and small-scale construction trades, complementing the general contractor guide. Business qualification status, work orders, progress records and tax withholding slips require review before draft approval.

01

Progress milestones and final tax withholding slips

Subcontract progress billings to main contractors link to inspection records, while the main contractor withholds Final Construction Income Tax. Neracia separates the tax slip from the invoice tax base; final tax withholding does not reduce the VAT base on the service delivered.

02

Project down payments and maintenance retention balances

Construction orders often include upfront deposits and retention held until warranty expiry. Neracia matches deposit receipts, progress invoices and retention claims so Coretax invoice drafts do not duplicate previously billed amounts.

Official Regulatory Basis: PER-11/PJ/2025 ↗
03

Input invoices for extra materials and tool rentals

Purchases of cement, fasteners, supplementary steel and scaffolding or generator rentals must match supplier tax invoices and buyer details. Neracia flags incomplete documents and reviews tax credit eligibility under VAT Law Article 9 and PER-11/PJ/2025 Article 122.

04

Change orders (CCO) and contract value adjustments

On-site design revisions or volume adjustments change final contract values after progress billings have begun. Neracia matches addenda, revised acceptance records and commercial bills before draft adjustment invoices are prepared for client review.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS · CORETAX VAT

Frequently Asked Questions
for Small Contractors & Subcontractors.

Practical answers on Coretax e-Faktur compliance and the draft-only workflow for this sector:

Is this the same as the general contractor guide?

This guide focuses on specialized subcontractors, MEP trades and small-scale renovations working with main contractors. For large general construction projects, see the general contractor guide.

Document scope matches your contract position.

Does final construction tax withholding replace VAT?

No. Final tax withholding covers income tax on contracting services, while VAT applies to the supply of taxable services. Neracia reviews supporting documents; if contract treatment is uncertain, consult a tax adviser or DJP.

Reference: Government Regulation No. 9/2022 and the VAT Law.

Can project costs and monthly books also be organized?

If project expenses, material payables, progress receivables and bank records need organizing, discuss monthly bookkeeping as a separate scope. Prices follow that service page. The VAT package remains draft-only; the client submits.

Bookkeeping scope follows recording needs.
