Ditjen Pajak Urges Taxpayers to Activate Coretax Accounts Amidst Long Queues

Background on Coretax Activation

The Directorate General of Taxes (Ditjen Pajak) has recently issued a statement urging taxpayers to activate their Coretax accounts as soon as possible. This move comes amidst a surge in queues at tax offices, where taxpayers are seeking to activate their accounts and obtain the necessary electronic certificates for tax filing. The Coretax system is a new platform introduced by the Ditjen Pajak for the submission of annual tax returns (SPT) for 2025.

Importance of Coretax Activation

According to the Ditjen Pajak, the activation of Coretax accounts is a crucial step for taxpayers to submit their SPT for 2025. The activation process involves the creation of an electronic certificate, which is required for taxpayers to access the Coretax system and file their tax returns. Taxpayers who fail to activate their accounts may face difficulties in submitting their tax returns, which could lead to penalties and fines.

Independent Activation Process

To facilitate the activation process, taxpayers can activate their Coretax accounts independently by following the official tutorial on the Ditjen Pajak website or social media accounts. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to create an electronic certificate and access the Coretax system. Taxpayers are advised to activate their accounts as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute rush and potential difficulties in submitting their tax returns.

Additional Measures to Manage Queues

In response to the long queues at tax offices, the Ditjen Pajak has implemented additional measures to manage the situation. These measures include the extension of working hours at tax offices and the deployment of additional staff to handle the increased workload. Taxpayers are advised to plan their visits to tax offices carefully and to avoid peak hours to minimize waiting times.
