Tax Bills Now on Coretax, Taxpayers Urged to Check Regularly
JAKARTA, DDTCNews — The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has advised taxpayers to regularly check their respective coretax accounts to monitor the status of tax bills issued to them. This topic is among the subjects covered by the national media today, Monday (14/9/2026).
With the implementation of coretax, taxpayers can now check notices of tax collection (surat tagihan pajak/STP in Indonesian)sent by the DGT directly through their own coretax accounts.
"In the current coretax era, taxpayers can no longer simply wait for a physical letter," said Functional Tax Instructor, Gede Suarnaya.
Moreover, taxpayers also need to update the e-mail address and contact details recorded in coretax for the notices of tax collection to be delivered to taxpayers in a timely manner.
"We always remind people of 3 matters. First, regularly check your coretax account. Second, ensure your e-mail address and contact data are always up to date. Third, promptly read every document received from the DGT. The sooner we are aware of a tax bill, the sooner fellow taxpayers can properly fulfil their tax obligations," said Gede.
Where a taxpayer receives a notice of tax collection, the taxpayer must read it carefully, paying attention to the type of tax, the taxable period and tax year, the amount of tax collected and the reason for the collection.
"Very often issues arise in practice because taxpayers immediately focus on the amount of the collection without reading the reason for its issuance," said Gede.
A notice of tax collection refers to a letter issued by the DGT to collect tax and/or administrative penalties in the form of interest and/or fines. There are various reasons that may cause the DGT to issue a notice of tax collection, including that income tax for the current year has not been paid or has been underpaid.
In addition, a notice of tax collection may also be issued because a taxpayer has been subject to an administrative penalty in the form of a fine and/or interest. For example, a taxpayer may be issued a notice of tax collection for the delay in filing an income tax return.
Pursuant to Article 11 paragraph (2) and Article 12 paragraph (1) of MoF Reg. 81/2024, as last amended by MoF Reg. 54/2025, the DGT will send a notice of tax collection to a taxpayer via coretax and/or the taxpayer's e-mail. Taxpayers for whom a notice of tax collection has been issued may view and download it through the My Documents menu in coretax.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 paragraph (3) of the GPTP Law, a notice of tax collection must be settled no later than 1 month from the date of issuance.
In addition to this news, there is also coverage of MoF Reg. 55/2026, which abolishes the practice licence card for tax consultants. Further, there is a discussion regarding the implementation of the tax collection system for foreign digital transactions (sistem pemungutan pajak transaksi digital luar negeri/SPP-TDLN).
Below is a full review of the tax articles.
Don't Wait for the Due Date
The DGT also encourages taxpayers to compare the contents of the notice of tax collection with data in their possession, such as payment receipts, withholding receipts, filed tax returns and other data.
If there is a discrepancy in the data or if there is data that has not been understood, taxpayers may contact Kring Pa on 1500200 or the nearest Tax Office. If the tax collection proves to be correct, the taxpayer must promptly pay the said bill.
"Do not let the notice of tax collection due date pass," said Gede. (DDTCNews)

MoF Reg. 55/2026 Abolishes Tax Consultant Practice Licence Card
MoF Reg. 55/2026 abolishes the provisions concerning the issuance of practice licence cards for tax consultants. Junior Expert Financial Analyst at the Directorate of Financial Profession Guidance and Supervision (Pembinaan dan Pengawasan Profesi Keuangan/PPPK in Indonesian), Citra Wulan Ratri, stated that practice licence cards are no longer required, given that data of parties holding a certificate of competence will be directly integrated with the coretax system of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT).
"When someone wishes to provide services at the DGT as an attorney, all their data will already be there. So it will be visible in coretax whether they hold a certificate of competence or not," said Citra.
The provisions concerning practice licence cards for tax consultants who have been granted a licence were contained in the minister of finance regulation repealed by MoF Reg. 55/2026, namely MoF Reg.111/2014, as last amended by MoF Reg. 175/2022. A practice licence card is an identification card as a tax consultant for providing tax consultancy services. (DDTCNews)
Purbaya Focuses on Reforming Administration to Optimise Tax Revenue
Minister of Finance, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, has again affirmed that the government will not impose new taxes or raise tax rates to increase state revenue.
Instead, the government will optimise revenue through reforms to tax administration, supervision, broadening of the revenue base and closing revenue leakages. He stated that this strategy is the government's focus for strengthening revenue without imposing new collection burdens on the public.
"From the outset, the objective we have sought to establish is clear enough: the state budget must operate more swiftly for the economy and revenue must become ever stronger without imposing new burdens on the public," he said. (DDTCNews)
DGT Issues Guidelines on Management of Confiscated Goods
Through the Director General of Taxes Circular Letter No. SE-10/PJ/2026, the DGT has established guidelines for the management of confiscated objects, confiscated goods, tangible asset security and tax documents borrowed by the DGT.
The issuance of this circular letter is motivated by the absence of a standardised procedure for the management of confiscated objects, confiscated goods, asset security and documents borrowed by the DGT.
SE-10/PJ/2026 affirms that the management is aimed at maintaining the integrity, security, safety and economic value of confiscated goods and documents under the supervision of the DGT. This applies within the scope of investigations, collection, audits, preliminary audits and objection resolution. (DDTCNews)

"...It is necessary to regulate the provisions on the management of goods declared uncontrolled, state-controlled goods and state property at the customs storage," reads one of the considerations in PER-10/BC/2026. (DDTCNews)
