How to File Annual Personal Income Tax Return via Coretax DJP
JAKARTA – The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) provides a filing service for annual income tax returns (Surat Pemberitahuan/SPT Tahunan Pajak Penghasilan) for employees through the Coretax DJP system.
Through this platform, taxpayers can file their annual SPT online with a more practical and integrated process. DJP Director General Bimo Wijayanto of the Ministry of Finance urged the public to submit their annual SPT before Eid al-Fitr.
“So that your Eid celebration is truly blessed, go ahead and file your tax returns. Better to complete your obligations than to have an uneasy Eid,” said Bimo during a tax briefing with media personnel on Thursday, 5 March 2026.
Through Coretax DJP, employees are expected to find it easier to meet their tax obligations before the reporting deadline. With the Coretax system, annual PPh SPT for the 2025 tax year will no longer be submitted via DJP Online.
Before submitting the annual PPh SPT via Coretax, ensure you have already registered a Coretax account. In addition to having a Coretax account, you must also have a DJP authorisation code or electronic certificate to be used as a digital signature.
Additionally, you need to prepare Proof of Withholding (Bukti Pemotongan/Bupot) for PPh Article 21 Form BPA1. You can download this Bupot yourself through the My Portal module and the My Documents menu.
Generally, the process consists of four main stages:
Creating an SPT Draft
Filling in the Main SPT Form
Completing SPT Attachments
Submitting the SPT
