        "summary": "The Ministry of Finance has clarified that Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa filed his annual tax return for the 2025 tax year on time and in compliance with regulations, despite being assessed an underpayment of Rp50 million. This underpayment arose due to his income from multiple sources\u2014initially as Chairman of the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) and later as Minister\u2014leading to discrepancies in tax withholdings under the progressive tariff system. The ministry highlighted the role of the integrated Coretax system in facilitating accurate reporting and urged all taxpayers to meet their obligations promptly.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Bureau of Communication and Information\nServices (KLI) of the Ministry of Finance has affirmed that Finance\nMinister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, as a taxpayer, has reported his Annual\nTax Return for the 2025 Tax Year on time and in accordance with\napplicable laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>This statement was issued after Finance Minister Purbaya revealed\nthat he had filed his tax return and was declared to have an\nunderpayment of Rp50 million.<\/p>\n<p>Head of the KLI Bureau, Deni Surjantoro, explained that in the tax\nsystem, underpayment can occur, particularly for taxpayers with income\nfrom more than one source.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll such income is combined in the tax calculation, while tax\nwithholdings by each employer are done separately. This situation can\ncause a difference between the tax already withheld and the tax payable,\nincluding due to the application of progressive tariffs,\u201d said Deni.<\/p>\n<p>Deni added that to support ease and accuracy in reporting, the\nCoretax system has integrated tax data automatically (prepopulated),\nincluding withholding evidence, thus helping taxpayers fill out the\nAnnual Tax Return correctly, completely, and clearly in accordance with\nregulations.<\/p>\n<p>Deni also emphasised that the Ministry of Finance urges all taxpayers\nto continue carrying out their tax obligations in an orderly and timely\nmanner.

When I was at LPS, I never\n(underpaid), it was always spot on because the salary was only from LPS.\nBut now, part of it is from LPS, part from here,\u201d he explained.<\/p>",
