        "summary": "The Chair of the Indonesian House of Representatives' Budget Committee, MH Said Abdullah, has recommended that the Ministry of Finance extend the deadline for individual tax reporting via the CoreTax application to 31 May 2026, aligning it with the corporate tax deadline, due to persistent system errors leaving 3.3 million taxpayers unable to file. He emphasised that such an extension would help maximise government revenue targets exceeding 15 million filings and prevent revenue shortfalls from compliance issues. Additionally, Said urged Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa to audit and improve the CoreTax system to avoid future disruptions.",
        "content": "<p>Sumenep (ANTARA) - The Chair of the House of Representatives\u2019 Budget\nCommittee (Banggar) DPR RI, MH Said Abdullah, has suggested that the\nMinistry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia extend the reporting\nperiod for individual taxes via the CoreTax application until 31 May\n2026, similar to corporate taxes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis suggestion to extend the individual tax reporting is to ensure\nthat the government\u2019s strategic policies can be maximised,\u201d he stated in\nremarks to the media in Sumenep, East Java, on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that as of the extended deadline for individual tax\nreporting via CoreTax, there were still around 3.3 million taxpayers who\nhad not filed their Annual Tax Returns (SPT), despite a one-month\nextension from the original 31 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the frequent errors in the system have been a common\ncomplaint among taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the system is the one that\u2019s faulty, it\u2019s certainly not entirely\ntheir fault,\u201d Said remarked.<\/p>\n<p>This extension would be an exception to the provisions in the General\nProvisions and Tax Procedures Law, which sets the deadline for corporate\nSPT filing on 30 April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf corporate taxpayers can file until 31 May 2026, I see no issue\nwith extending it by a day or even a week for individuals, to meet the\ntarget of over 15 million filings to support state revenues,\u201d Said\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The politician from Sumenep Regency, East Java, further explained\nthat if taxpayer compliance decreases due to system issues, tax revenues\nwill also decline.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the CoreTax reporting application that frequently\nexperiences disruptions, Budget Committee Chair MH Said Abdullah has\nrequested that Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa conduct a system\naudit, identify weaknesses, and fix them to prevent similar incidents\nfrom recurring.<\/p>",
