        "summary": "The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) has cautioned taxpayers against the growing trend of using unofficial \"joki\" services to file annual tax returns (SPT) on the new Coretax digital platform, highlighting risks such as data misuse and reporting errors. While assistance from licensed tax consultants is permitted, ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of submissions lies with the taxpayer, and DJP is actively addressing implementation challenges to improve the system. This serves as a reminder for cautious adaptation to digital tax processes amid ongoing evaluations to enhance service quality.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2014 The transition to the Coretax digital tax\nreporting platform has sparked a new phenomenon among taxpayers: the\nincreasing use of \u201cjoki\u201d services for filling out Annual Tax Returns\n(SPT Tahunan). On one hand, this service is seen as practical for those\nstruggling to adapt to the new system. However, on the other hand, the\nDirectorate General of Taxes (DJP) warns of significant risks, ranging\nfrom reporting errors to potential misuse of personal data, with\nresponsibility still resting on the taxpayer. Amid this adaptation\nprocess, many people find it difficult to understand the mechanisms and\nopt for joki services as a more practical solution. Responding to this\nphenomenon, DJP\u2019s Director of Education, Services, and Public Relations,\nInge Diana Rismawanti, emphasised that taxpayers are principally allowed\nto use assistance from third parties in the reporting process, as long\nas it is done through the proper channels, such as tax consultants. She\nalso reminded that caution remains paramount, especially when it\ninvolves granting access to tax accounts to others. Inge acknowledged\nthat in the early stages of Coretax implementation, various challenges\nare still being felt by taxpayers. However, the system is designed with\nthe primary goal of simplifying the overall tax administration process.\nAccording to Inge, the various complaints that have arisen are part of\nthe ongoing evaluation process by DJP to improve service quality. \u201cThis\nbecomes material for evaluation that we continue to follow up, both in\nterms of system refinement and strengthening assistance services to\ntaxpayers,\u201d she said to Kompas.com on Tuesday (14\/3\/2026). \u201cRegarding\nthe risks of using joki services, we convey that using joki services\ncarries considerable risks, including the potential for personal data\nmisuse, filling errors, and reporting that does not match the actual\nconditions,\u201d she stated. She emphasised that responsibility for the\ncontent of the report remains in the hands of the taxpayer, even if the\nfilling is done by a third party. \u201cIt must be understood that\nresponsibility for the SPT content remains attached to the taxpayer,\neven if the filling is assisted by others. Therefore, caution is very\nimportant,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
