Fines Abolished, 10.6 Million Taxpayers Have Submitted Annual Tax Returns
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - A total of 10,653,931 taxpayers have submitted their annual tax returns up to 1 April 2026.
The Directorate General of Taxation under the Ministry of Finance detailed that 9,315,880 employee individual taxpayers and 1,116,703 non-employee individual taxpayers for the January to December 2025 fiscal year have filed.
Meanwhile, 219,161 corporate annual tax return filers used the rupiah exchange rate, and 164 used the US dollar exchange rate.
Separately, corporate taxpayers with different fiscal years reported 1,992 filers using the rupiah rate and 31 using the US dollar rate.
On the other hand, the number of taxpayers who have activated their DJP Coretax accounts reaches 17,623,817. This comprises 16,560,108 individual taxpayers, 972,891 corporate taxpayers, 90,591 government agency taxpayers, and 227 digital economy taxpayers.
As is known, the initial deadline for individual taxpayers to file annual tax returns was 31 March 2026. However, Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa announced that the filing period for annual tax notification letters specifically for individual taxpayers would be extended until 31 April 2026.
He explained that the extension of the filing period, originally ending on 31 March 2026 for individual taxpayers, 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 stated that the extension of the deadline for individual taxpayer annual tax return filings also considers the occasional minor issues with the Coretax system’s loading.
“Some people experience that, so we extend it,” Purbaya emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Taxation (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance revealed that the plan to extend the deadline for individual taxpayer annual tax return filings would also consider an evaluation of public filings up to the end of March 2026.
Director of Education, Services, and Public Relations at DJP, Inge Diana Rismawanti, said that another option under consideration is providing administrative sanction relief if the 2025 annual tax return filings for individual taxpayers exceed the 31 March deadline.
She stated that the 31 March deadline for individual taxpayer income tax (PPh) annual returns is actually in line with the provisions in the General Tax Provisions and Procedures Law (UU KUP). Under UU KUP, the regulation is a maximum of three months after the end of the tax year.
“So what we have prepared is the provision of relaxation on the imposition of administrative sanctions for individual taxpayer PPh annual returns submitted after the 31 March deadline,” Inge revealed.
