Indonesia's Tax Authority Implements Digital Certification for Coretax System

Modernizing Tax Administration

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance has appointed four digital certification companies to support its Coretax system, marking a significant step in Indonesia's tax administration digitalization. This development requires taxpayers to prepare electronic certificates for digitally signing tax documents through the Coretax application.

Key Features of the Coretax System

The Coretax system will serve as the primary application for fulfilling tax obligations, with all administrative processes conducted digitally. This includes the submission of annual income tax returns starting from the 2025 tax year. The implementation of Coretax is part of the DJP's broader efforts to modernize tax administration and enhance compliance through digital means.

Impact on Taxpayers

Taxpayers will need to adapt to the new digital requirements by obtaining electronic certificates from the appointed certification companies. This change is expected to streamline tax compliance processes while enhancing security through digital signatures. The shift to digital tax administration is a significant development in Indonesia's tax landscape, reflecting global trends in tax compliance and administration.
