DJP Proactively Pushes State-Owned Banks to Activate Coretax System

Background and Initiative

In preparation for the 2025 annual tax return reporting through the Coretax system starting January 1, 2026, the Indonesian Tax Authority (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance has taken proactive measures. The DJP organized an online socialization event on December 12, 2025, specifically targeting major state-owned banks through their association Himbara.

Key Participants and Objectives

The socialization event included key state-owned banking institutions: Bank Mandiri, Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), Bank Nasional Indonesia (BNI), and Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN). The primary focus was on encouraging these institutions to complete the activation of their taxpayer accounts and create authorization codes/electronic certificates (KO/SE) through the Coretax system.

Significance of Coretax Implementation

The Coretax system represents a significant modernization effort by DJP to streamline tax reporting processes. By activating this system, banks and other corporate taxpayers will be better prepared for the upcoming tax reporting season. The initiative demonstrates DJP's commitment to improving tax compliance through digital infrastructure.

Impact on State-Owned Banks

For the participating state-owned banks, this proactive engagement with DJP is crucial for ensuring compliance with upcoming tax regulations. Successful activation of the Coretax system will enable these institutions to efficiently manage their tax obligations, potentially setting a precedent for other corporate taxpayers in Indonesia.
