Tax Compliance Shows Early Momentum with Coretax System

Strong Initial Participation

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance has reported a promising start to the 2025 tax year filing season. As of January 5, 2026, 20,289 taxpayers had successfully submitted their annual tax returns through the new Coretax system. The data shows that the majority of these submissions came from individual employee taxpayers, indicating broad participation across various employment sectors.

Digital Transformation in Tax Reporting

This significant early adoption of the Coretax platform demonstrates the effectiveness of Indonesia's digital transformation in tax administration. The Coretax system represents a major modernization effort by the DJP to streamline tax reporting processes and improve compliance rates.

Implications for Tax Administration

The strong initial participation suggests that taxpayers are adapting well to the new digital reporting system. This development is expected to enhance overall tax compliance and efficiency in tax administration. The DJP's efforts to leverage technology in tax collection are likely to have positive implications for revenue collection and taxpayer experience.
