Outstanding Tax Debt of Rp 109.4 Billion Leads to Blocking of 199 Taxpayers' Accounts
The Central Java II Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) has blocked the accounts of 199 taxpayers (WP) with a total outstanding debt amounting to Rp 109.4 billion. The account blocking action was carried out through 12 Tax Service Offices (KPP) in the region.
“The blocking of accounts for 199 taxpayers was carried out simultaneously on 7 April 2026 through 12 Tax Service Offices (KPP) in the operational area of DJP Central Java II,” stated the Head of the Central Java II DJP Regional Office, Teguh Budiharto, to reporters in Solo on Tuesday, 14 April 2026.
Teguh explained that the blocking involved State Tax Bailiffs (JSPN) working in cooperation with 21 banking sector financial institutions in the Jakarta and Tangerang areas. According to him, this step is part of law enforcement efforts to secure the 2026 state revenue target through the collection of tax receivables.
“This action is a follow-up stage after various persuasive efforts have been undertaken. Previously, the DJP has issued Warning Letters up to Coercion Letters to the relevant taxpayers,” he said.
Furthermore, he stated that the blocking is a measure to secure assets in accordance with Minister of Finance Regulation No. 61 of 2023 on the Procedures for Tax Collection Enforcement for the Amount of Tax Still Payable. “We want to ensure there is no transfer of assets so that state receivables can be promptly realised,” Teguh remarked.
Teguh added that this policy also aims to provide a deterrent effect for uncooperative taxpayers, while maintaining fairness for taxpayers who have complied with their obligations. Referring to Articles 29 and 30 of PMK 61/2023, the DJP is authorised to request account blocking from banking parties. The banks are then obliged to block funds belonging to the taxpayers in the amount of the debt plus collection costs, according to the listed identity.
Nevertheless, the DJP continues to provide opportunities for resolution to taxpayers. Based on Article 33 of the same regulation, the blocking can be lifted if the taxpayer settles the entire outstanding amount and collection costs or provides adequate guarantees.
“For taxpayers who are not yet able to pay in full at once, options are available for instalment payments or applications for administrative sanction reductions in accordance with the provisions,” Teguh stated.
The DJP Central Java II urges all affected taxpayers to immediately coordinate with the KPP where they are registered to expedite the clarification and settlement process of their tax obligations.
