Early Adoption Statistics

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under the Ministry of Finance has reported a significant early uptake in the filing of 2025 annual tax returns. As of January 5, 2026, at 15:37 WIB, a total of 20,289 tax returns have been successfully filed through the new Coretax system. This number represents a promising start to the tax filing season, demonstrating taxpayer adaptation to the digital platform.

Taxpayer Demographics

According to Rosmauli, Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at DJP, the majority of these early filings came from individual salaried taxpayers. This demographic has shown a strong inclination towards using the digital Coretax system for their tax reporting needs. The ease of use and streamlined process of the new system are likely contributing factors to this trend.

The early filing statistics suggest that these efforts are bearing fruit, with a substantial number of taxpayers embracing the new system within the first few days of its availability.
