Indonesia expands Coretax system and seizes assets over tax arrears

Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) is strengthening its digital tax platform, Coretax, which will be fully operational by 2025 and is now linked to external systems such as the state electricity company PLN, banks, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and the civil registration agency (Dukcapil). Director General Bimo Wijayanto said the integration enables real‑time data sharing, including synchronising ID numbers and tax IDs, and allows the tax authority to use data like electricity consumption to assess tax compliance.

In a separate enforcement action, DJP's Jakarta South II office blocked two bank accounts of PT AG, seizing funds worth Rp33.49 billion after the company failed to pay overdue taxes of Rp24.86 billion. The seizure followed a series of warnings issued since September 2024, a formal demand in October 2025, and coordination with Bank BNI to ensure orderly execution on 10 June 2026. The authority affirmed that such measures demonstrate its commitment to enforce tax laws fairly and efficiently.
