337,198 Taxpayers in Bali Have Filed Annual Tax Returns, Increasingly Busy Ahead of Deadline
A total of 337,198 taxpayers have reported their Annual Tax Notification Letters (SPT) as of Thursday (30/4/2026). According to records from the Bali Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP), the majority are dominated by Individual Taxpayers with a total of 308,036 SPTs. Meanwhile, the remaining 29,162 SPTs are from Corporate Taxpayers.
The Head of the Outreach, Services, and Public Relations Division of the Bali DJP Regional Office, Budi Harjanto, stated that from the recapitulation of reports, 31,562 SPTs were received in the last ten days.
“This indicates an increase in SPT reporting activity ahead of the deadline. The deadline itself aligns with the extended reporting time relaxation under the General Provisions and Tax Procedures Law (UU KUP),” said Budi when interviewed by detikBali.
Harjanto revealed that the increase in service activities ahead of the deadline is a sign of insufficient awareness and understanding of annual SPT reporting via Coretax. “Actually, many people still need guidance and direct services from the Tax Office,” added Harjanto.
For taxpayers who have not had the opportunity to report their Annual SPT by the deadline, approaches will be made, including to employers, local governments, up to the issuance of warnings and administrative sanctions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
“Later, the Bali DJP Regional Office will also coordinate with employers to remind employees who have not reported their SPT. In addition, to local governments, including village heads and sub-district heads, to remind the public using public services of their SPT reporting obligations. There will also be warnings and administrative sanctions,” said Harjanto.
Harjanto emphasised that the Bali DJP Regional Office hopes for increased public compliance in fulfilling tax obligations.
Meanwhile, the DJP of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) has also issued a policy on the waiver of administrative sanctions for Corporate Taxpayers. This policy is contained in an announcement issued by the Directorate of Outreach, Services, and Public Relations of Kemenkeu. The full announcement is as follows.
