More than 5.4 million taxpayers submitted their annual tax return (SPT) forms for 2021 to the Directorate General of Taxation from January 1 to March 10, 2022, an official said.
“Most of the taxpayers are individual taxpayers, and the remaining 135 thousand are corporate taxpayers,” Director General of Taxation Suryo Utomo said while providing information on the harmonized tax law in Central Java during an awareness-building event, which was accessed online from Jakarta on Thursday.
The Directorate General of Taxation has set March 31 as the deadline for individual taxpayers and April 30 as the deadline for corporate taxpayers for filing SPT forms.
Utomo expressed the hope that individual and corporate taxpayers will file SPT forms as soon as possible as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown signs of abating.
As the pandemic has begun to ease, individual and corporate taxpayers can now resume their activities and earn an income, he said. They are obliged to pay taxes after receiving various incentives during the pandemic, he added.
President Joko Widodo, Vice President Ma’ruf Amin, and state officials have submitted their SPT forms for 2021, he informed. Hopefully, their rank and file will follow suit soon, he said.
Taxation is the backbone of sustainable state financing so all parties are expected to participate in financing development, he added.
