Ahead of the deadline, 9.6 million taxpayers have filed their annual tax returns via Coretax. Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Approximately 9,665,246 taxpayers have reported their annual tax returns ahead of the end of March 2026. Based on data from the Directorate General of Taxes as of 28 March 2026, the number of employee individual taxpayers who have filed is 8,491,269, non-employee individual taxpayers 974,791 for the fiscal year from January to December 2025. Meanwhile, the number of corporate annual tax return filers is 197,327 in rupiah and 139 in US dollars. The number of annual tax return filers for taxpayers with different fiscal years is 1,699 corporate taxpayers in rupiah and 21 corporate taxpayers using US dollars. On the other hand, the number of taxpayers who have activated their Coretax DJP accounts reaches 17,143,733. This figure consists of 16,090,048 individual taxpayers, 962,999 corporate taxpayers, 90,459 government agency taxpayers, and 227 digital economy taxpayers. As is known, the initial deadline for individual taxpayers’ annual tax return reporting was 31 March 2026. However, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced that the annual tax return reporting for individual taxpayers will be extended until 31 April 2026. He explained that the extension of the reporting period from the original deadline of 31 March 2026 for individual taxpayers is because the 2025 tax year reporting period coincides with the long holidays of Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran 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 said that the extension of the annual tax return reporting deadline for individual taxpayers also considers the Coretax system which often still has minor issues related to loading. “Some people experience that, so we 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 annual tax return reporting deadline for individual taxpayers will also consider an evaluation of public reporting until the end of March 2026. Director of Extension, Services, and Public Relations of DJP Inge Diana Rismawanti said that another option being considered is providing administrative sanction relief if the 2025 annual tax return reporting for individual taxpayers exceeds the 31 March deadline. The 31 March deadline for income tax (PPh) annual tax return reporting for individual taxpayers is actually in accordance with the provisions in the KUP Law. In the KUP Law, the provision is a maximum of three months after the end of the tax year. “So what we are preparing is the provision of relaxation in the imposition of administrative sanctions for individual taxpayer PPh annual tax returns submitted after the 31 March deadline,” Inge stated.
