DGT Warns Taxpayers Deleting Withholding Slips to Amend Annual Returns

JAKARTA, DDTCNews - The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has warned individual taxpayers indicated to have deleted withholding slips when completing and filing their annual income tax returns for the 2025 tax year.

The deletion of such withholding slips could potentially cause the annual tax return filed by an individual taxpayer to be inconsistent with actual conditions. Accordingly, the taxpayer is required to file an amendment pursuant to the applicable tax provisions.

"In the event that there is income or tax information that has not been filed, resulting in the filed Annual Tax Return not reflecting actual conditions, taxpayers are advised to file an amendment to their tax return pursuant to the applicable statutory tax provisions," the DGT stated in its announcement on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

The advisory regarding the amendment of annual tax returns indicated to be inconsistent with actual conditions due to the deletion of withholding slips has been communicated by the DGT to taxpayers via email from the @pajak.go.id domain.

Through this amendment, individual taxpayers are requested to file all income, tax credits, withholding slips and other tax information correctly, completely and clearly. A guide to amending the Annual Tax Return has been made available by the DGT via email.

"A tax return completed incorrectly, incompletely and/or unclearly may give rise to penalties pursuant to the applicable provisions," the DGT advised.

For information, the draft annual tax return in the coretax administration system also includes withholding slips and the income associated with those slips. Both items of information originate from the withholding agents and are populated automatically in the draft annual tax return of the individual taxpayer.

Coretax does allow taxpayers to delete withholding slips and the income associated with those slips from the draft tax return. However, it should be noted that such data remains stored within the DGT's system and may be used for compliance supervision purposes. (dik)
