Mass Tax ID Number–NIK Matching and Validation Now Available in a Single Portal
JAKARTA. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has launched version 2 of the Tax Identification Number (TIN)–Population Identification Number (NIK) matching portal.
The portal serves as a facility for mass validation and registration of NIK, specifically for employer taxpayers or government institutions.
In the first version of the TIN–NIK matching portal, companies could only check the status of NIK–TIN matching.
In version 2 of the TIN–NIK matching portal, an additional service is available: NIK validation. This service allows companies to validate and register their employees’ NIKs simultaneously.
With this enhancement, companies can issue income tax withholding slips (Income Tax Article 21) using employees’ or income recipients’ NIK without needing a temporary TIN.
Flow of Using the NIK Validation Service
There are three stages for using the NIK validation service as outlined in the DGT’s guidelines:
1. Registration
Companies can register an account at portalnpwp.pajak.go.id. It is important to note that registration requires a company email and the selection of the “NIK validation” registration type on the TIN portal.
2. Upload Validation Excel File
Companies must upload employees’ NIK, name, phone number, and email data. The data will be checked for consistency with population administration records before being formally registered into the Coretax database.
3. Monitoring Validation and Registration
After uploading the NIK data, companies can monitor the registration process in Coretax via the monitoring dashboard on the TIN portal. Daily registration will then take place. If the migration status to Coretax shows “Yes,” the NIK has been successfully registered in the Coretax database.
Notes for Companies Still Using Temporary TIN
In its guidelines, the DGT advises companies still using temporary TINs to do the following:
- Ensure employees’ NIKs are integrated.
- Cancel Income Tax Article 21 withholding slips that use a temporary TIN.
- Reissue the withholding slips.
As a disclaimer, the DGT states that these guidelines or steps may change according to future updates to tax regulations.
The launch of the latest version of the TIN–NIK matching portal comes ahead of the annual filing season for Income Tax Returns. (ASP/KEN)
