Tax NPWP to NIK reminder

There was some misinformation on this forum some while ago so a reminder thread might be in order.

Tax forms were (and still can be) filled in using an NPWP number, but that will change by the end of 2023.

JAKARTA – The government through the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) has officially started using the Population Identification Number (NIK) as the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) since July 14. However, the old format NPWP can still be used until December 31, 2023.

Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Neilmaldrin Noor, said that the old-format NPWP was still used in limited tax administration services, one of which was to login to the tax.go.id application.

"Only starting January 1, 2024, when Coretax is already operating, the use of the new NPWP format will be effectively implemented in its entirety, both for all DGT services and for the administrative interests of other parties that require the use of NPWP," he said quoted Thursday, July 21.

(Sorry about the duff quote function on the forum that splits quotes up)

When covid was a bigger issue than it is now I suggested avoiding tax offices. However, much as restrictions are fewer and PPKM may end in a very few days or weeks, using https://www.pajak.go.id/ is still a good idea if possible.

Tax offices here are getting all bright and nice, but a queue is still a queue so the site may be better.
