How to Fill the Coretax Annual Personal Income Tax Return for Employees

The Jakarta, KOMPAS.com - The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance provides a service for reporting the annual personal income tax return (PPh) for individuals employed as employees through the DJP Coretax system. Through this platform, taxpayers can file the annual tax return online with a more practical and integrated process. Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto urged the public to promptly file their annual tax return before Eid al-Fitr. ‘To ensure Lebaran is truly back to festive, tax obligations should be filed promptly. Rather than Lebaran being less sincere, it’s better that the obligation has been completed,’ he said during a tax class with media on Thursday, 5 March 2026. Through Coretax DJP is expected to ease employees’ compliance with tax obligations before the reporting deadline. With Coretax, the annual PPh for the 2025 tax year will no longer be submitted via DJP Online. Before filing the annual PPh via Coretax, make sure you have registered a Coretax account. In addition to having a Coretax account, ensure you have the DJP authorization code or an electronic certificate used as a digital signature. Also, you need to prepare the Withholding Slip PPh Article 21 BPA1. You can download the BPA1 yourself via the Portal Saya module and the My Documents menu. In the My Documents menu, look for a document titled Bukti Potong PPh Pasal 21 A1 (BPA1). Then, swipe to the right and click the Download button to download the BPA1.
