        "summary": "The Indonesian Finance Minister, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, has acknowledged the growing trend of paid 'jockey' services using the Coretax system to file annual tax returns (SPT), attributing it to flaws in the system's design that make it inaccessible to ordinary users and create business opportunities for intermediaries. He promised to address these issues to eliminate the need for such services, while a parliamentary member called for more extensive public education on Coretax features to enable independent filing and prevent exploitation of public confusion. This development highlights ongoing challenges in modernising Indonesia's tax administration, potentially undermining data privacy and compliance efficiency.",
        "content": "<p>The use of paid services to fill out annual tax returns (SPT) via the\nCoretax tax system has become a hot topic on social media. Finance\nMinister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that he will take action regarding\nthis matter.<\/p>\n<p>The fees charged for these services vary from Rp50,000 to Rp100,000,\ndepending on the type of annual SPT. This raises dangers, particularly\nconcerning the confidentiality of personal data.<\/p>\n<p>According to Purbaya, the proliferation of \u2018Coretax jockeys\u2019 is due\nto business opportunities arising from the poor design of the current\nsystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn economics, if there\u2019s an opportunity, someone will jump in. But\ngoing forward, we\u2019ll fix it so that Coretax no longer requires jockeys,\u201d\nhe said at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs office on\nMonday (6\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya confirmed that the current Coretax system design is difficult\nfor ordinary people to use. He even suggested there is an element of\nintentionality, allowing businesses to emerge from that complexity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe design is apparently flawed. It\u2019s a bit difficult for ordinary\npeople to use. So there are jockeys or software interfaces that can\nconnect Coretax with people. Now it\u2019s too fast, the time is too short\nfor us to fix it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I only found out a month ago, less than a month. That\nthere\u2019s room for people to enter in the middle of Coretax to there. So\nit\u2019s like Coretax was created with weaknesses so that there\u2019s business\nin the middle. I\u2019ll sort it out later,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Member of Commission XI Puteri Komarudin, during a\nworking meeting with the Ministry of Finance on Monday (6\/4\/2026), said\nthat many parties are taking advantage of public confusion in accessing\nCoretax to offer paid SPT filing services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if we look recently, there are those exploiting public confusion\nto the point of offering jockey services for Coretax reporting,\u201d said\nPuteri.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, according to her, the Directorate General of Taxes under\nthe Ministry of Finance needs to conduct more detailed and massive\neducation on the features in the Coretax system. This way, the public\ncan report their annual SPT independently and not give openings to\nunscrupulous individuals to exploit citizens\u2019 confusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want more detailed and massive education regarding the features\nof this Coretax, how to report, what if there\u2019s overpayment or\nunderpayment, what if they feel burdened, and so on, which causes\nconfusion and is exploited by irresponsible parties,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
