DGT Estimates 14.5 Million Taxpayers Will File Annual Tax Returns Before the End of March 2026
JAKARTA. The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) is optimistic that the number of taxpayers filing their Annual Income Tax Returns for Fiscal Year 2025 on time will reach 14.5 million.
So far, however, only around 6 million taxpayers have submitted their Annual Income Tax Returns.
This means that by the deadline for individual taxpayers to submit their Annual Income Tax Returns, which falls at the end of March 2026, it is estimated that an additional 8.5 million taxpayers will still submit their returns.
The estimate was conveyed by Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto during a media briefing, as quoted on Tuesday (10/3).
Basis for the Annual Tax Return Filing Estimate
The estimate is based on the current trend of Annual Tax Return filings, which has reached around 200,000 to 250,000 filings per day.
Based on this average, additional filings are projected to reach around 2.5 million returns until the reporting deadline.
To facilitate taxpayers in submitting their Annual Income Tax Returns, the DGT has also opened tax office services on Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition, the DGT has introduced additional service channels within the Coretax ecosystem, namely Coretax Form and Coretax Mobile (M-Pajak), to broaden access to tax services.
Expansion of Tax Services
To further encourage taxpayer compliance, the DGT continues to expand access to tax services.
One of the efforts undertaken is the development of a digital-based tax administration system, including the use of Coretax services.
This expansion is expected to make it easier for taxpayers to submit their tax returns electronically, while also improving annual filing compliance.
As a reminder, the deadline for individual taxpayers to submit their Annual Income Tax Returns is March 31, 2026, while the deadline for corporate taxpayers is April 30, 2026.
Taxpayers who fail to submit their Annual Income Tax Returns on time may be subject to administrative sanctions in the form of fines, in accordance with the applicable tax regulations. (ASP/KEN)
