DGT Finds 475,000 Individual Taxpayers Deleted Withholding Slips

JAKARTA, DDTCNews - The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has recorded at least 475,698 taxpayers suspected of deleting withholding slips (bukti pemotongan/bupot in Indonesian) from their annual individual income tax returns for the 2025 tax year for the 2025 tax year.

The Director of Tax Dissemination, Service and Public Relations at the DGT, Inge Diana Rismawanti, stated that the tax authority has issued advisory letters to these hundreds of thousands of individual taxpayers. The advisory letters were sent via the DGT's official email with the domain @pajak.go.id.

"We have sent official advisory emails to 475,698 taxpayers suspected of deleting withholding slips from their annual individual income tax returns for the 2025 tax year," she said on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Inge explained that the advisory emails were sent for the taxpayers to examine, verify and cross-check data on income received against withholding slips filed in the annual tax return.

If, following the check, any reported data is found not to reflect actual conditions, taxpayers are advised to promptly amend their annual tax return pursuant to the applicable tax provisions.

Through those advisory emails, taxpayers are also requested to ensure that all income, tax credits, withholding slips and/or other tax information have been filed accurately, completely and clearly in the annual tax return submitted.

Referring to MoF Reg. 111/2025, taxpayers who receive an advisory letter may respond in 2 ways, namely by fulfilling their tax obligations and/or providing an explanation regarding the tax obligations stated in the advisory letter.

Inge added that the DGT may issue a letter of inquiry (surat permintaan penjelasan atas data dan/atau keterangan/SP2DK in Indonesian) if a taxpayer does not make an amendment, such that the reported data still does not reflect actual conditions.

"If the advisory is not followed up on, the DGT may take the further measure of requesting clarification regarding the relevant data," Inge asserted. (dik)
