About Reconline
Reconline is a channel manager operating global (reconline.com). Its catalog entry describes the service as follows: “Connect with Reconline GDS for global distribution channels.”
For a villa owner in Bali, the relevant question is not whether Reconline is a good product — that depends on your channel mix — but whether the booking and payment flow it produces can be reconciled cleanly with Indonesian tax obligations (PBJT, PPh, BPJS for staff, quarterly LKPM for foreign-held entities). This page documents how the channel manager integrates with VillaTax and which fiscal triggers apply.
Connecting Reconline to VillaTax
Reconline does not currently expose a public ingestion endpoint that VillaTax can read directly. The supported workflow is manual import: download your booking list as CSV or PDF from Reconline, upload it in /dashboard/bookings, and VillaTax normalises the records into the same data model as the API-connected channels.
As a channel manager, Reconline sits between your inventory and multiple distribution partners. VillaTax connects to Reconline so the bookings you receive across all those partners are recorded once, with their channel of origin preserved for tax attribution and OTA commission tracking.
What data VillaTax imports from Reconline
From Reconline, VillaTax retrieves a reservation feed enriched with the channel of origin (Booking.com, Airbnb, direct, etc.). The channel attribution matters for two reasons: PPh 26 cross-border withholding only applies to non-resident OTAs, and commission rates differ by channel — both must be tracked to compute correct net income.

How it works
From platform to compliance in 4 steps
Things to know
- Manual entry requires diligent record-keeping to avoid reporting gaps.
- Ensure all bookings are logged before month-end for accurate P&L.
- Currency conversion to IDR may introduce minor rounding differences in tax reports.
Points of vigilance
Channel managers can produce duplicate records if a booking is mirrored both at the OTA level and the channel-manager level. VillaTax detects duplicates by guest name + dates + property — but verify the channel mapping in Reconline so each booking is owned by a single source.
Global platforms expose multi-currency flows. Always reconcile against IDR at the official Kurs Pajak rate, not the platform's internal conversion.
Indonesian fiscal framework that applies regardless of platform
The tax obligations triggered by a villa booking in Bali are defined by Indonesian law and do not depend on which platform produced the reservation. This section lists the applicable provisions with citations to primary sources; for case-by-case computation use the /dashboard/tax cockpit.
• PBJT (Regional Accommodation Tax) at the rate set by each Bali kabupaten — see UU 1/2022 HKPD Pasal 56–61 and Perda Badung Pasal 7–8 for the legal basis. Liability accrues at check-in date and is owed monthly. • PPh Final 4(2) on rental income — when the lessor is a non-corporate Indonesian taxpayer, PP 34/2017 sets a final 10% rate on gross rental. For corporate lessors, PPh Badan applies at the rate fixed in UU 7/2021 HPP. • PPh 21 on staff salaries — TER (effective rate) regime per PP 58/2023 and PMK 168/2023; VillaTax computes monthly withholding for your villa staff. • PPh 26 on cross-border payouts — UU 36/2008 Pasal 26 and PMK 112/2022 — applies when a non-resident receives Indonesia-sourced income; relevant for cross-border OTA commission settlements rather than the host's payout. • PPN (VAT) — UU 7/2021 HPP — only if the lessor is a registered PKP (Pengusaha Kena Pajak). • LKPM quarterly investment report — required for entities with foreign capital, filed via BKPM. None of these obligations depend on which OTA, PMS or channel manager produced the booking.

Frequently asked questions
How is Reconline connected to VillaTax?
Reconline is imported by manual upload — export your booking list as CSV or PDF from Reconline and upload it to /dashboard/bookings.
Does the channel manager replace direct OTA integrations?
For booking ingestion, yes — Reconline can serve as the single source. But VillaTax still benefits from direct OTA connections for commission verification, since channel managers do not always surface the OTA-side fee breakdown.
Which exchange rate is used when Reconline pays in a non-IDR currency?
VillaTax converts at the official Kurs Pajak rate published by Kementerian Keuangan for the booking date. This is the same rate the DJP uses, so PBJT and PPh figures will match an inspector's recomputation.
Does using Reconline trigger PPh 26 withholding?
PPh 26 (UU 36/2008 Pasal 26, PMK 112/2022) applies when a non-resident receives Indonesia-sourced income. In practice this concerns the OTA's own commission flowing to a non-Indonesian entity, not the host's payout. Whether withholding applies depends on the contract structure between the platform and the lessor — consult /dashboard/tax for case-specific guidance.
