Tax management
      Sophar Lumbantoruan as quoted by Suandy (2011, h.6) defines tax management is a way to meet the tax obligations correctly but the amount of tax paid can be as low as possible to obtain the expected profit and liquidity. Interest tax management is correctly applying tax laws in an effort to achieve efficiency of liquidity expected earnings. Interest tax management can be achieved through functions that Tax Planning, Implementation of Tax Obligations and Tax Control

Controlling Taxes (Tax Control)
     Tax Control aims to ensure that the tax liability has been implemented in accordance with the planned and already meets the formal requirements and materially. In the control of important tax is the tax payment checks. Therefore, a command and control cash flow is very important in a tax saving strategies, such as tax payments made at the end is certainly more profitable than paying early.
Motivation does tax planning taxation comes from three elements:

1. Tax Policy
     Taxation policy is an alternative to the various objectives to be addressed in the tax system. The existence of various types of tax liabilities to be paid where each type of taxes that have the nature and treatment respectively.
     For example duty. Duties will be considered as deductible expenses of PKP or can be requested restitution if we do export goods. While income tax is a tax on profits or income can reduce the amount of net income after taxes. So in order not to disturb or accelerate cash flow of the company, needed a good tax planning so as to analyze the top of any transaction, what is taxable and what funds need to be known how the net income after tax.

2. Tax Policy
Taxation policy is an alternative to the various objectives to be addressed in the tax system. Of the various aspects of tax policy there are factors that encourage tax planning, namely:
a. Taxes to be levied
There are various types of taxes that should be the primary consideration in the form of direct taxes or indirect taxes and excise such as:
• Corporate Tax and OP
• Taxes on Capital Gains
• Withholding tax, salaries, wages, rent, interest, and royalties
• Taxes on the export, import and customs duties.
• Taxes on lottery / prize. revenue stamp
The existence of various types of tax liabilities to be paid where each type of tax treatment has its own properties eg import duty will be treated as deductible expenses of PKP or can be requested restitution if we do export goods. While income tax is a tax on profits or income can reduce the amount of net income after taxes. So in order not to disturb or accelerate cash flow of the company, the need for a good tax planning in order to analyze on what the transaction, what is taxable and what funds need to be known how the net income after tax.

3. Tax Law
We realize that the reality where there are no laws regulating the problem perfectly, then in practice is always followed by other provisions (PP, decree, KMK, and SE DJP), and not infrequently the implementing provisions were contrary to enactment law itself as tailored to the interests of policy-makers in achieving other goals to be achieved. This situation led to the emergence of a gap (loophole) for WP to analyze carefully on the opportunity to use a good tax planning.

4. Tax Administration
Indonesia is a country that is so vast and so populous region and as a country that is building are still experiencing difficulties in implementing the tax administration adequately. It prompted the company to carry out tax planning well in order to avoid administrative or criminal sanctions due to differences in interpretation between the tax authorities with WP, as a result of the breadth of tax regulations and information systems were not effective. In general motivation implementation of tax planning is to maximize the profit after tax Because of the tax influence in decision-making on an act in the operating company to invest by analyzing carefully and take advantage of opportunities or opportunities in the tax regulations are deliberately created by the government to provide different treatment on the tax object that is economically essentially the same, by utilizing the difference in tax rates (tax rate), the difference in treatment of the object to tax as the tax base (tax base), Loop hole (slit), shelter and haven.
