Indonesia's Tax Authority Receives Over 13 Million Annual Returns

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) has announced a significant milestone, reporting that over 13 million annual income tax returns (SPT Tahunan PPh) for the 2025 tax year have been successfully submitted as of April 30, 2026. This figure represents a substantial portion of the nation's taxpayers, underscoring a generally positive compliance rate.

According to Inge Diana Rismawanti, Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at DJP, the submitted returns encompass a diverse range of taxpayers. This includes a large number of individual taxpayers, both employees and non-employees, as well as corporate entities operating in both Indonesian Rupiah and US Dollar denominations. The DJP also noted submissions from oil and gas taxpayers, further illustrating the breadth of the reporting.

Beyond the submission of tax returns, the DJP highlighted the successful activation of its Coretax system. Nearly 19 million taxpayers have reportedly activated their accounts on this platform, which is crucial for streamlining tax administration and taxpayer services. This high activation rate suggests a growing digital engagement among Indonesian taxpayers and an increasing reliance on the DJP's online services.

These figures demonstrate the ongoing efforts by the Indonesian government to enhance tax collection and administration. The high volume of submitted returns and the successful Coretax account activations indicate a functional and increasingly efficient tax system, which is vital for national revenue and economic stability. The DJP's proactive communication about these statistics aims to foster transparency and encourage continued compliance among all taxpayers.
