DJP Accelerates Coretax Activation with Banking Partnerships

Enhancing Tax Compliance through Digital Transformation

The Indonesian Tax Authority (DJP) is taking proactive steps to boost activation of its new Coretax system by engaging with major state-owned banking institutions. In a recent online event, DJP invited members of Himpunan Bank Milik Negara (Himbara) and Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) to participate in a socialization program focused on taxpayer account activation and electronic certificate creation.

Key Components of Coretax System

The Coretax system represents a comprehensive digital transformation in Indonesia's tax administration landscape. According to Chandra Budi, Head of Subdirectorate of Cooperation and Partnership, Coretax will integrate all tax administration services, including both internal and external tax data management. This new system is designed to simplify tax compliance for taxpayers by providing a unified platform for various tax-related services.

Strategic Banking Collaboration

The collaboration with banking institutions is a strategic move to leverage their extensive network in reaching taxpayers. Himbara members, which include Bank Mandiri, BRI, BNI, and BTN, along with BSI, will play a crucial role in facilitating taxpayer registration and activation processes. This partnership is particularly significant as the tax filing season for 2025 is approaching, with Coretax implementation scheduled to begin on January 1, 2026.

Implementation Timeline

• January 1, 2026: Mandatory Coretax implementation for annual tax reporting
• Current phase: Active taxpayer education and system activation
• Focus areas: Account registration, authorization code creation, and electronic certificate issuance

The initiative demonstrates DJP's commitment to modernizing Indonesia's tax infrastructure while enhancing taxpayer experience through digitalization.
