        "summary": "Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) is intensifying taxpayer compliance monitoring by blending conventional field visits with advanced digital technologies. The new strategy, formalised in Circular Letter SE-8\/PJ\/2026, includes web scraping, remote sensing, and the analysis of scientific journals to broaden the tax database. The initiative aims to create a more effective and data-driven supervisory system by also involving local security personnel and conducting economic area dissections.",
        "content": "<p>The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) at the Ministry of Finance is\nstrengthening its strategy for monitoring taxpayer compliance through a\ncombination of conventional approaches and the use of digital\ntechnology. This move is outlined in Circular Letter (SE) Number\nSE-8\/PJ\/2026 concerning Guidelines for Taxpayer Compliance Monitoring.\nThrough this regulation, the DJP implements two main methods of economic\ndata collection: field data collection and non-field data collection.\nBoth approaches are intended to expand the tax database while improving\ntaxpayer compliance. In the field method, officers may visit the\nresidence, domicile, business location, or freelance workplace of\ntaxpayers and related parties to identify tax subjects and objects.\nMeanwhile, non-field data collection is carried out without direct\nvisits to the location. The DJP utilises information technology and\nvarious available administrative means to obtain the necessary data and\ninformation. \u201cRegional supervision is carried out through economic data\ncollection activities in the work area. This is done to encourage\nincreased taxpayer compliance as an effort to expand the database and\nmaster the territory. This activity can be carried out by all DJP\nemployees as a means of obtaining data and\/or information from various\nsources, both through field data collection and non-field data\ncollection activities,\u201d wrote SE Number SE-8\/PJ\/2026. In practice, the\nDJP retains a number of conventional supervisory methods. These\nactivities include visitation, area sweeping, direct observation, and\nbuilding information networks involving Village Supervisory\nNon-Commissioned Officers (Babinsa) and Community Security and Order\nSupervisory Officers (Bhabinkamtibmas). On the other hand, the tax\nauthority is also beginning to optimise the use of technology in the\nsupervisory process. Some of the methods used include remote sensing,\nweb scraping to extract data from websites, and the utilisation of\nvarious information available in the media. Not only that, the DJP also\nprioritises an approach based on scientific analysis and study. This\nstep is carried out through reviewing journals or scientific papers,\nanalysing unidentified data, dissecting taxpayer profiles, dissecting\neconomic areas, mirroring the results of audits and investigations, and\nstrengthening cooperation through taxation partnerships. According to\nthe DJP, all these supervisory activities begin with a systematic\nidentification and data collection process so that the supervisory\nfunction can run more effectively, measurably, and be data-based. \u201cThe\nsupervisory activities for taxpayer compliance begin with a systematic\nidentification and data collection stage to support the implementation\nof an effective and measurable supervisory function,\u201d the DJP stressed\nin the circular letter.<\/p>",
