"(The deadline will be in 2023-end) because (at present), not all administrative services can accommodate the new format of the taxpayer numbers," DJP's director of assistance, services, and public relations, Neilmaldrin Noor, told ANTARA here on Monday.
Currently, the use of the new format taxpayer numbers is restricted to limited taxation administration services, such as logging on to personal tax accounts on the pajak.go.id website, he explained.
The full implementation of the new format taxpayer numbers is expected from January 1, 2024, when the core tax system becomes operational, he said.
"The use of the new format taxpayer number will be implemented effectively when the core tax system is operational for the entire DJP services or on other administrative functions requiring the use of taxpayer numbers," Noor remarked.
Earlier, director general of taxes, Suryo Utomo, had said that thanks to data integration, at least 19 million personal identity numbers would now be used as taxpayer numbers for filing taxes.
The directorate general is committed to integrating more ID numbers with taxpayer numbers, but the process will take time as it has to be divided into several stages considering the hundreds of millions of personal identity numbers that the DJP needs to process for the purpose, he added.
According to the Finance Ministry’s Regulation No. 112/PMK.03/2022, there will be three new taxpayer number formats for different taxpayers. In the first format, individual taxpayers who are Indonesian residents will use their personal identification numbers as their taxpayer numbers.
The second format will be a 16-digit taxpayer number for non-resident individuals, government institutions, and entity taxpayers, while the third format will be a business domicile identity number for taxpayers registered as branch taxpayers.
