Tax office trials “prepolulated’ SPTs
Individual taxpayers, particularly employees, could enjoy the convenience of having their annual tax returns (SPT) filled out by the tax office in the near future, as the tax authority continues to improve its services as part of sweeping tax reform. Under the new system, taxpayers can approve and sign SPTs filled out by the tax authority or revise them accordingly. Tax collection from employees’ income tax (PPh21) stood at Rp30.39tr in the 1Q18, a 15.73% yoy growth. The figure reversed a 0.12 yoy contraction in 2017.
