Tax Reporting Deadline Extended to 30 April 2026, Here is the Reason

The government has officially extended the reporting period for the Annual Income Tax Return (SPT) for Personal Income Tax (PPh) for individual taxpayers. With this policy, the SPT filing deadline is no longer 31 March but has been extended to 30 April 2026. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa confirmed that this decision also aligns the SPT Annual reporting deadline for individual taxpayers with that of corporate taxpayers. “It’s fixed, extended to the end of April, a one-month extension,” he said at the Ministry of Finance in Jakarta on Wednesday (25/3/2026). According to him, system disruptions have made the reporting process difficult for some users. The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) recorded that as of 24 March 2026, the number of SPT filings for the 2025 tax year reached 8,874,904 SPTs. This figure equates to about 59.1% of the 15 million SPT target. Meanwhile, filings from corporate taxpayers recorded 183,583 SPTs for entities using rupiah denomination and 138 SPTs in US dollar denomination. For corporate taxpayers with different fiscal years that began reporting from 1 August 2025, the number reached 1,549 SPTs in rupiah and 21 SPTs in US dollar denomination. In addition to SPT filings, the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) also recorded progress in activating Coretax system accounts. As of 22 March 2026, the number of taxpayers who have activated their accounts reached 16,723,354. Of this number, the majority come from individual taxpayers at 15,677,209, followed by corporate taxpayers at 955,508 and 90,411 government institution taxpayers. Additionally, there are 226 Electronic System-Based Traders (PMSE) taxpayers who have also activated accounts on that system. This obligation remains in effect, including for the public whose taxes have been withheld through salaries or transactions. Taxpayers who miss the 2026 Annual SPT filing deadline may face sanctions. This provision is regulated in Law Number 28 of 2007 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures.
