Coretax / Sistem Inti Administrasi Perpajakan (SIAP) became effective starting 1 January 2025 under prevailing Indonesian tax administration regulations.PMK 81/2024; PER-1/PJ/2025.
URL
Coretax services are generally accessed through the official DJP/Coretax electronic portal.DJP Portal / Coretax Portal.
Replaces
Coretax integrates and migrates legacy DJP applications including DJP Online, e-Faktur, e-Bupot, e-Registration, tax payment, and tax reporting into a unified tax administration platform.PMK 81/2024; PER-1/PJ/2025.
Mobile app
Certain Coretax/SIAP services may also be accessed through DJP electronic platforms and digital channels under prevailing Indonesian tax administration procedures. Current official guidance emphasizes access through DJP/Coretax electronic systems, although no specific PMK/PER/SE currently appears to formally standardize a dedicated “Coretax DJP” mobile application name.PMK 81/2024; PER-1/PJ/2025; DJP Coretax implementation guidance and taxpayer handbook..
Coretax Form (offline)
PER-3/PJ/2026 regulates updated procedures for submission and processing of tax returns under Coretax implementation.PER-3/PJ/2026.
Indonesian individual
Resident Indonesian individuals generally use NIK as NPWP under prevailing Indonesian tax administration regulations.PMK 112/2022; PMK 81/2024.
This skill is the platform manual for the Indonesian tax administration system. It explains how the buttons work and where the filings live. The substantive tax content (rates, base, deductions) is in the per-tax skills (indonesia-vat, id-payroll-pph21, etc.).

Minimum viable — Coretax account credentials (or DJP-issued activation letter with PIN); NPWP (16-digit for Indonesian individuals, 15-digit for foreigners / legacy); tax period and year; the underlying tax computation from a sister skill (indonesia-vat, id-payroll-pph21, etc.).
Recommended — Faktur Pajak or withholding ledger in CSV/Excel for bulk import; counterparty NPWPs pre-validated against DJP; confirmed NSFP balance.
Ideal — PJAP host-to-host connection for high-volume taxpayers; valid digital certificate (sertifikat elektronik) renewed within the last 24 months.
Refusal if minimum missing — SOFT WARN. Without an activated Coretax profile, no filing can be lodged. Without a sister-skill tax computation, this platform skill cannot produce a return on its own.

What Coretax replaces
| Legacy service | Coretax replacement |
|---|---|
| DJP Online e-Filing (web SPT submission) | Coretax web portal — SPT module |
| Desktop e-Faktur (Java client) | Coretax e-Faktur (browser-based) |
| e-Bupot 23/26 web app | Coretax e-Bupot Unifikasi |
| e-Bupot 4(2) and PPh 15 separate apps | Same — folded into e-Bupot Unifikasi |
| e-Bupot 21/26 (employment) | Coretax e-Bupot 21/26 (separate monthly form, on Coretax) |
| e-Registration | Coretax registration module |
| e-Objection / e-Appeal | Coretax dispute module |
| e-Billing (kode billing) | Coretax payment module — still issues 15-digit ID Billing |
| e-SKD (residence certificates) | Coretax DTP / e-SKD module |
| KSWP (taxpayer status) | Coretax taxpayer-status service |
Tax payment settlement still happens at a bank, BPD, Pos Indonesia, marketplace, or fintech accepting Kode Billing. Customs (Bea Cukai) PIB / PEB stays in INSW / CEISA. BPJS is a separate authority. Pre-2025 audit case files remain on legacy systems.

NPWP format inside Coretax
| Taxpayer category | NPWP format inside Coretax |
|---|---|
| Indonesian individual (WNI) | 16-digit NIK = NPWP |
| Foreign individual (WNA) | 15-digit legacy NPWP, padded with leading "0" to 16 digits at display time (TBC — DJP has signalled a dedicated 16-digit foreign-taxpayer identifier; confirm current state) |
| Indonesian entity (Badan) | 15-digit NPWP padded to 16 digits with leading "0" inside Coretax |
| Government instrumentality | 15-digit padded to 16 |
| Branch (Cabang) | Parent 15-digit + 3-digit branch suffix → Coretax displays the consolidated identifier |
Order matters: Coretax will not allow NSFP requests, Faktur Pajak issuance, or return signing without an activated profile and valid digital certificate.
sertifikat elektronik) via the Layanan menu.Entities grant role-based access — typical roles are Penanggung Jawab (signing officer), Karyawan (operator), Konsultan Pajak (external agent). External tax agents act under their own NPWP via the Wakil Wajib Pajak flow.
The desktop e-Faktur Java client has been retired. All Faktur Pajak issuance from 1 January 2025 is browser-based inside Coretax. The legal substance of the Faktur Pajak (deadlines, 11% rate, exempt categories) is unchanged and lives in indonesia-vat. This section covers platform mechanics only.
Every Faktur Pajak must carry a serial number issued by DJP. Coretax centralises NSFP request and consumption.
Coretax action steps
| Step | Coretax action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Navigate to e-Faktur → Permintaan NSFP |
| 2 | Enter requested quantity. Coretax benchmarks against historical issuance and may auto-approve or queue |
| 3 | Sign the request with the digital certificate passphrase |
| 4 | DJP responds with a serial range (e.g., 0100002500000001–0100002500001000); positions 3-4 carry the year |
| 5 | Allocated NSFPs sit in the taxpayer's balance; each issued Faktur consumes one |
| 6 | Unused NSFPs must be returned via Pengembalian NSFP by 31 March of the following year |
Practical timing. Peak windows queue NSFP requests for hours or days — do not wait until the Faktur is due.
01 standard B2B, 04 special DPP, 07 zero-rated export of services, 08 exempt, etc.Each finalised Faktur Pajak carries a QR code linking to pajak.go.id verification. Faktur that fail QR verification are not creditable.
Scenario / Coretax action
| Scenario | Coretax action |
|---|---|
| Faktur Pengganti (replacement) | New Faktur with same period referencing original; code's first digit changes to 1 (011 instead of 010) |
| Faktur Dibatalkan (cancellation) | Use Pembatalan Faktur; cancelled Faktur still reported in the SPT Masa PPN of the issue period |
| Nota Retur (sales return) | Issued by buyer; recorded by seller as a credit |
Coretax accepts CSV/XML bulk upload (template in the e-Faktur module). Server-side validation produces a status report within minutes — the standard path for high-volume PKPs.

id-payroll-pph21. (UU KUP)Coretax exposes four channels for SPT submission. Pick the channel that matches the form and the taxpayer's volume.
SPT filing channels
| Channel | Used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coretax web portal | All forms — SPT Masa (PPN, Unifikasi, PPh 21/26), SPT Tahunan (1770, 1770S, 1770SS, 1771) | Default channel; supports inline editing and validation |
| Coretax Form | SPT 1770 (individual self-employed) initially; later expansion | Downloadable offline form; user fills it, then uploads the signed file back to Coretax. Phased rollout — broad availability February 2026 for SPT 1770 |
| Coretax Mobile | SPT Tahunan 1770 SS and 1770 S for simple individual returns; profile updates; payment | iOS and Android. Convenient for employees with one source of income |
| Host-to-host (PJAP) | Bulk Faktur Pajak issuance, bulk Bukti Potong, automated SPT lodgement | Requires PJAP onboarding — engineering project; out of scope for this skill |
Deadlines and reminders
| Obligation | Deadline | Coretax reminder |
|---|---|---|
| SPT Masa PPN payment | End of month following the tax period | Coretax dashboard banner; email |
| SPT Masa PPN filing | End of month following the tax period | Same |
| SPT Masa PPh Unifikasi payment | 10th of the following month | Coretax dashboard + e-mail nudge |
| SPT Masa PPh Unifikasi filing | 20th of the following month | Same |
| SPT Masa PPh 21/26 payment | 10th of the following month | Same |
| SPT Masa PPh 21/26 filing | 20th of the following month | Same |
| SPT Tahunan 1770 individual | 31 March of the following year | Coretax sends e-mail reminders from January |
| SPT Tahunan 1771 corporate | 30 April (4 months after fiscal year-end) | Same |
| NSFP year-end return | 31 March of the following year for unused serials | Coretax e-Faktur reminder |
Every successful filing generates a Bukti Penerimaan Elektronik — the electronic receipt. Save the BPE PDF to the workpaper. It carries a unique receipt number; this is the primary evidence of filing if DJP later challenges timeliness.
The Coretax cutover was bumpy. Reviewers preparing a workpaper for an early-2025 period should expect to document at least one of these.

| SPT Tahunan 1770 / 1771 | Tax year 2025 (filed 2026) | Coretax |

If the routing is unclear, default to Coretax for any tax period of January 2025 onward and to the legacy environment for December 2024 and earlier. Confirm against the most recent DJP Pengumuman before lodgement.
When Coretax behaves unexpectedly, prefer document-and-retry over guess-and-file.

R-CT-1 — Tax content out of scope

R-CT-2 — Foreign-nationals' NPWP
WNA onboarding differs from the NIK-as-NPWP route. Foreigners currently use a 15-digit NPWP padded to 16 in Coretax — confirm the current DJP flow before activation. TBC — a dedicated foreign-taxpayer ID has been signalled.R-CT-2
R-CT-3 — Pre-2025 amendments via Coretax

| Step | Coretax action | |---|---| | 1 | Navigate to **e-Faktur → Permintaan NSFP** | | 2 | Enter requested quantity. Coretax benchmarks against historical issuance and may auto-approve or queue | | 3 | Sign the request with the digital certificate passphrase | | 4 | DJP responds with a serial range (e.g., `0100002500000001`–`0100002500001000`); positions 3-4 carry the year | | 5 | Allocated NSFPs sit in the taxpayer's balance; each issued Faktur consumes one | | 6 | Unused NSFPs must be returned via **Pengembalian NSFP** by 31 March of the following year |
Scenario / Coretax action
| Scenario | Coretax action | |---|---| | Faktur Pengganti (replacement) | New Faktur with same period referencing original; code's first digit changes to `1` (`011` instead of `010`) | | Faktur Dibatalkan (cancellation) | Use **Pembatalan Faktur**; cancelled Faktur still reported in the SPT Masa PPN of the issue period | | Nota Retur (sales return) | Issued by buyer; recorded by seller as a credit |
Unifikasi definition
Before Coretax, a withholder filed multiple separate monthly returns: - SPT Masa PPh Pasal 23/26 via e-Bupot 23/26 - SPT Masa PPh Pasal 4(2) via e-Bupot 4(2) - SPT Masa PPh Pasal 15 via e-Bupot 15 **PER-24/PJ/2021** (introduced the original e-Bupot Unifikasi) and the broader DJP regulation set referenced under **PER-2/PJ/2024** consolidated these into **one** monthly form: **SPT Masa PPh Unifikasi**. Coretax is the single venue for the unified slip workflow. > **Note.** SPT Masa PPh Pasal 21/26 (employment withholding on wages) is **not** included in the Unifikasi. PPh 21 keeps its own monthly form, but that form is also filed inside Coretax. See `id-payroll-pph21`.PER-24/PJ/2021; PER-2/PJ/2024
Articles covered by the Unifikasi
| Article | Typical withholding base | |---|---| | PPh 23 | Domestic withholding on services, rent (other than land/building), royalty, interest (non-bank), dividend to non-corporate residents | | PPh 26 | Withholding on payments to non-residents (subject to tax treaty rates) | | PPh 4(2) — Final | Land/building rent, construction services, deposit interest, lottery prizes, certain UMKM final tax | | PPh 15 | Specific industries — shipping, aviation, oil & gas drilling services, etc. |
Monthly SPT Masa PPh Unifikasi process and deadlines
At month-end Coretax aggregates all Bukti Potong issued per article. The user reviews, adjusts for voids/amendments, generates a **Kode Billing**, pays, then returns to attach the **NTPN** (Nomor Transaksi Penerimaan Negara) and lodges the SPT. Statutory deadlines (unchanged by Coretax): SPT Masa Unifikasi due by the **20th** of the following month; payment by the **10th** of the following month (UU KUP). PPh 21 deadlines live in `id-payroll-pph21`.UU KUP
