10 Million Taxpayers Have Filed Annual Tax Returns, Remember the Final Date is This
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - As many as 10,124,668 taxpayers have submitted their Annual Tax Return (SPT) for the 2025 tax year as of 30 March 2026, just one day before the original deadline for filing SPTs expires.
According to data published by the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance, the total SPT filings consist of 8,877,779 reports from individual taxpayers who are employees and 1,039,175 from non-employee individual taxpayers for the book year from January to December 2025.
Additionally, there are 205,752 corporate SPT filers in rupiah and 145 in US dollars. Meanwhile, for annual SPT filers with different book years, there are 1,795 corporate filers in rupiah and 22 using US dollars.
The Directorate General of Taxes also reported that the number of taxpayers who have activated their DJP Coretax accounts reached 17,367,922 ahead of the end of March 2026.
This figure comprises 16,310,079 individual taxpayers, 967,121 corporate taxpayers, 90,495 government agency taxpayers, and 227 digital economy taxpayers.
As is known, the original deadline for individual taxpayers to file their annual SPT was 31 March 2026. However, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced that the filing of annual tax returns for individual taxpayers would be extended until 31 April 2026, with a waiver of administrative sanctions.
He explained that the extension of the filing period, originally ending on 31 March 2026 for individual taxpayers, is due to the 2025 tax year filing period coinciding with the long holidays of Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran in 2026.
“So until 31 April, extended by one month because of the holidays,” said Purbaya at his office in Jakarta on Wednesday (25/3/2026).
In addition, due to the long holidays and the Lebaran homecoming period in the midst of society, Purbaya stated that the extension of the deadline for individual taxpayer annual SPT filing also considers the occasional minor issues with the Coretax system’s loading.
“Some people experience that, so we’ll extend it,” Purbaya emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance revealed that the plan to implement the extension of the deadline for individual taxpayer annual SPT filing will also consider an evaluation of public filings up to the end of March 2026.
DJP’s Director of Dissemination, Services, and Public Relations, Inge Diana Rismawanti, said that another option under consideration is providing relief from administrative sanctions if the 2025 annual SPT filing for individual taxpayers exceeds the 31 March deadline.
She stated that the 31 March deadline for filing annual income tax (PPh) SPT for individual taxpayers is actually in line with the provisions in the General Tax Provisions Law (UU KUP). Under UU KUP, the regulation is a maximum of three months after the end of the tax year.
“So what we are preparing is the provision of relaxation on the imposition of administrative sanctions for annual PPh SPT for individual taxpayers submitted after the 31 March deadline,” Inge revealed.
