Awaited by the DJP Chief! 9 Million Taxpayers Still Have Not Filed Their 2025 SPT

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The number of taxpayers who have filed their annual tax return (SPT) for the 2025 tax period has reached only 6 million, approaching the reporting deadline on 31 March 2026 for individual taxpayers and 30 April 2026 for corporate taxpayers. Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto said, with these notes, there are still around 9 million taxpayers who have not reported their annual SPT. ‘We are still waiting for about 9 million other taxpayers,’ Bimo said when met at the DJP Central Office area, Jakarta, quoted Thursday (5/3/2026). Bimo said, considering the remaining days until the end of reporting and the peak reporting period around 250 thousand per day, then by the end of the submission period only will reach 8.5 million taxpayers reporting the 2025 annual SPT. ‘That is to say 10 days x 250 thousand equals about 2.5 million, right, 2.5 million from the 6 million now means 8.5 million, right,’ he stressed. Therefore, Bimo emphasised, at present the Directorate General of Taxes or DJP not only expects taxpayers to voluntarily report their annual SPT, but also to go out and engage with them by innovating services. For example, by opening a weekend reporting consultation service, and adding new features in the tax core administration system alias Coretax, such as Coretax Form and Coretax Mobile in two weeks. ‘Bandwidth expansion has also been carried out, adding server nodes was also done in January to strengthen the Coretax system,’ Bimo said. Bimo also urged taxpayers who have not reported their SPT to report it now. Do not wait until near the deadline because of the Eid al-Fitr momentum. ‘So that Eid al-Fitr is truly blessed again, that taxation is also reported promptly. Because later Eid al-Fitr would be less sincere. So be honest when you have discharged your obligation,’ he said. (arj/mij)
