Di Indonesia transaksi cross- border mergers and acquisitions belum diatur secara tegas dan jelas sehingga menimbulkan ketidakadilan bagi wajib pajak karena perlakuan pajak penghasilan antara transaksi merger dan akuisisi domestik dengan transaksi cross-border mergers and acquisitions diperlakukan secara berbeda yang tentu saja hal ini tidak sesuai dengan prinsip tax neutrality. Selain itu akibat belum diaturnya perlakuan pajak penghasilan pada transaksi cross-border mergers and acquisitions ada potensi dilakukannya aggressive tax planning oleh wajib pajak. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif dan teknik pengumpulan data berupa studi kepustakaan dan studi lapangan. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perlu ada pengaturan atas perlakuan pajak pada transaksi cross-border mergers and acquisitions dengan tetap menjaga hak pemajakan negara sumber penghasilan atas aset yang dialihkan pada transaksi cross-border mergers and acquisitions.
