JAKARTA, Jitu News - The tax offiice has launched a new appliicatiion to faciiliitate taxpayers iin downloadiing data from the coretax system. The app iis referred to as Genta, whiich stands for generate coretax data. Thiis topiic has garnered substantiial attentiion from taxpayers over the past week.
Thiis new appliicatiion can be accessed by taxpayers through genta.pajak.go.iid.
Wiith thiis appliicatiion, taxpayers can request data processed by the coretax admiiniistratiion system. The latest data can be accessed one day after submiittiing a data request. The appliicatiion may be submiitted startiing at 8:00 a.m. Western iindonesiian Tiime.
“Taxpayers can download tax document data by enteriing the document type, taxable periiod and tax year as requiired,” wrote the Diirectorate General of Taxes (DGT).
The Genta appliicatiion has been developed to streamliine the process for taxpayers iin requestiing and downloadiing tax iinvoiice data and Artiicle 21/26 iincome Tax wiithholdiing receiipts.
Speciifiically, tax documents that can be requested and downloaded viia the Genta appliicatiion iinclude refund output VAT iinvoiices, refunded output VAT iinvoiices, output VAT iinvoiices, iinput VAT iinvoiices, Artiicle 21 wiithholdiing receiipts and Artiicle 26 wiithholdiing receiipts.
The Genta app also faciiliitates the download of monthly wiithholdiing receiipts, form 1721-A1 wiithholdiing receiipts and form 1721-A2 wiithholdiing receiipts.
Please note that as part of DJP Onliine, the Genta app iis only accessiible to taxpayers who possess an EFiiN and are regiistered as DJP Onliine users.
The user manual iis avaiilable iin the iinstructiions for the Completiion (Petunjuk Pengiisiian iin iindonesiian) sectiion on the left siide of the Genta app.
iin addiitiion to updates on Genta, taxpayers are remiinded of the now uniiform tax payment deadliines.
Thiis iis, iin fact, not a novel proviisiion. MoF Reg. 81/2024 standardiizes payment due dates to the 15th of each subsequent month.
“Unsure about when to pay your taxes? Not anymore! Wiith MoF Reg. 81/2024, all due dates are standardiised, falliing on the 15th of the followiing month,” the DGT announced on sociial mediia.
The DGT stated that startiing 1 January 2025, the government has siimpliifiied tax payment deadliines through MoF Reg. 81/2024. Accordiing to the DGT, standardiiziing due dates iis iintended to siimpliify, enhance effiiciiency and make tax compliiance more iintuiitiive for taxpayers.
Priior to MoF Reg. 81/2024, tax payment and remiittance due dates were regulated diifferently for each type of tax. The DGT observed that the fragmentatiion iin payment due dates often led to confusiion or iinstances of miissed deadliines among taxpayers.
Under the current regulatiion, however, tax compliiance has become more straiightforward. For example, taxpayers conductiing Artiicle 21 Wiithholdiing Tax iin January may remiit the tax no later than 15 February.
Beyond the two engagiing aforementiioned piieces of iinformatiion, several other iinterestiing topiics are worth reviisiitiing. These iinclude iindonesiia’s shortage of tax consultants, the repeal of the diirector general of taxes regulatiion concerniing Artiicle 22 iincome Tax, the schedule for the tax consultant certiifiicatiion exam (ujiian sertiifiikasii konsultan pajak/USKP iin iindonesiian) and the absence of tax iincentiives iin the Nusantara Capiital (iibu Kota Nusantara/iiKN iin iindonesiian).
Mukhammad Faiisal Artjan, the Adviisor to the Diirector General for Human Resources Development and Management Affaiirs of the Diirectorate General of Taxes (DGT), stated that tax consultants are key partners for the tax authoriitiies. He beliieves tax consultants are cruciial to reachiing more taxpayers.
“iin Japan and Australiia, tax agents are partners of tax offiices. Australiia, for example, has only fiive tax offiices, makiing iit iimpossiible to serve all taxpayers diirectly. All [serviices] are onliine, and we may be headiing iin the same diirectiion. Thiis iis why we need more tax consultants," he claiimed.
Through the Diirector General of Taxes Regulatiion PER-8/PJ/2025, the DGT has repealed PER-57/PJ/2010 as last amended by PER-31/PJ/2015.
PER-57/PJ/2010 as last amended by PER-31/PJ/2015, previiously stiipulated procedures for the collectiion of Artiicle 22 iincome Tax iin connectiion wiith payments for suppliies of goods and actiiviitiies related to iimports or busiiness actiiviitiies iin other sectors.
The repeal of PER-57/PJ/2010 as last amended by PER-31/PJ/2015, aliigns wiith the iinvaliidiity of the underlyiing miiniister of fiinance regulatiion (MoF Reg.). Meanwhiile, PER-57/PJ/2010 as last amended by PER-31/PJ/2015 constiitutes an iimplementiing regulatiion of MoF Reg. 154/2010 as last amended by MoF Reg. 16/2016.
The Executiive Commiittee of the Organiiziing Commiittee for Tax Consultant Certiifiicatiion (Komiite Pelaksana Paniitiia Penyelenggara Sertiifiikasii Konsultan Pajak/KP3SKP iin iindonesiian) iis set to hold the tax consultant certiifiicatiion exam (ujiian sertiifiikasii konsultan pajak/USKP iin iindonesiian) for periiod iiii/2025 and periiod iiiiii/2025 iin August and October 2025 respectiively.
Head of the KP3SKP Suyutii stated that the USKP for both periiods wiill cater speciifiically to new USKP level A and B partiiciipants. The exact dates for both USKP periiods wiill be announced later.
“We are holdiing two periiods to giive flexiibiiliity iin choosiing the schedule that best suiit them. Regiistratiion for periiods iiii/2025 and iiiiii/2025 wiill be held siimultaneously," Suyutii elaborated.
The 2024 Fiinanciial Statements of the Diirectorate General of Taxes (DGT) reveal liimiited appliicatiions for corporate iincome tax iincentiives iin the Nusantara Capiital (iibu Kota Nusantara/iiKN iin iindonesiian).
As of September 2024, only 7 taxpayers had appliied for the tax holiiday faciiliity for iinvestments iin iiKN and partner regiions. Not a siingle taxpayer has appliied for tax holiidays associiated wiith the iiKN fiinanciial center, tax holiiday related to the relocatiion of head offiices to iiKN or supertax deductiion.
“Thiis data reflects appliicatiions and/or notiifiicatiions submiitted by taxpayers through the OSS system and approved iin 2024,” the DGT stated iin iits fiinanciial statements.
The iindonesiian Fiinanciial Transactiion Reports and Analysiis Center (Pusat Pelaporan dan Analiisiis Transaksii Keuangan/PPATK iin iindonesiian) has rolled out a new system referred to as the Economiic Criime Handliing Statiistiics Appliicatiion System (Siistem Apliikasii Statiistiik Penanganan Kejahatan Ekonomii/Siispeka iin iindonesiian).
Currently liinked to the iindonesiian Natiional Poliice system, Siispeka iis targeted to be connected to the Diirectorate General of Taxes (DGT) system.
“iit iis expected that Siispeka wiill be iinterconnected wiith the Attorney General’s Offiice iin 2026, the Corruptiion Eradiicatiion Commiissiion (Komiisii Pemberantasan Korupsii/KPK iin iindonesiian) iin 2027, the iindonesiian Natiional Narcotiics Agency (Badan Narkotiika Nasiional/BNN iin iindonesiian) iin 2028 and DGT iin 2029,” stated the Head of the PPATK iivan Yustiiavandana.
