Finance Minister Purbaya Extends Annual Tax Return Reporting Deadline to 30 April
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa will extend the deadline for reporting the Annual Tax Notification for Individual Taxpayers until 30 April 2026. The original deadline for the annual SPT report was 31 March 2026.
The Ministry of Finance will soon issue regulations through a Circular Letter (SE) as the basis for this policy. “Extend by one month,” said Purbaya, as quoted by Antara on Wednesday, 25 March 2026.
Previously, the Director General of Taxation, Bimo Wijayanto, had opened the option to extend the annual SPT reporting deadline for Personal Income Tax (PPh). This consideration arose because this year’s reporting period coincides with the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr holiday period.
On the same occasion, the Director of Dissemination, Services, and Public Relations of the Directorate General of Taxation (DJP), Inge Diana Rismawanti, stated that extending the reporting deadline is still an option being reviewed ahead of the end of March 2026.
“Actually, what we are preparing is the provision of administrative sanction relief for the Annual SPT PPh for individual taxpayers (WP OP) submitted after the 31 March deadline. In accordance with the KUP Law, the deadline for submitting the Annual Income Tax SPT for Individual Taxpayers is a maximum of three months after the end of the tax year (31 March 2026),” said Diana.
The Directorate General of Taxation (DJP) recorded that 16,723,354 taxpayers had activated Coretax accounts as of 24 March 2026. Of that number, 8,874,904 taxpayers had reported their annual SPT.
The breakdown of Coretax account activations consists of 15,677,209 individual taxpayers, 955,508 corporate taxpayers, 90,411 government agency taxpayers, and 226 Electronic System-Based Traders (PMSE) taxpayers.
Meanwhile, the SPT reports for the January-December 2025 fiscal year were recorded from 7,826,341 employee individual taxpayers, 863,272 non-employee individual taxpayers, 183,583 corporate taxpayers in rupiah, and 138 corporate taxpayers in US dollars.
For taxpayers with different fiscal years, the SPT reports came from 1,549 corporate taxpayers in rupiah and 21 corporate taxpayers in US dollars.
