Holds Tax Class, Surabaya Karangpilang Accelerate NIK-NPWP Matching

The Surabaya Karangpilang Tax Office (KPP) held an online tax class today (Thursday, 26/1).

Today's inaugural Tax Class in 2023 discusses several interesting issues currently being discussed. One is related to matching the National Identity Number (NIK) with the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP).

Individual taxpayers must update their main data by 31 March 2023. Then, updating data other than the main data criteria can be done up to 31 December 2023. The main data is NIK, name, place, and date of birth. Meanwhile, data other than the main data includes cell phone numbers and email addresses, business field classification (KLU), and family member data.

To make the NIK-NPWP matching program successful, the Surabaya Karangpilang Tax Office is committed to disseminating information and providing a good understanding of the benefits of matching this NIK-NPWP. One of them is through routine dissemination related to NIK-NPWP validation.

In his opening remarks, Eko Radnadi Susetio, The head of the Surabaya Karangpilang Tax Office said that the taxpayer profile data in the old DGT administrative system would be transferred for further use in the CTAS (core tax administration system). The data transfer or migration can only be carried out if the main data of the individual taxpayer has valid status.

To speed up the matching of NIK-NPWP, the Surabaya Karangpilang Tax Office also sends notification letters for updating NIK-NPWP to taxpayers and provides reminder messages via blast messages and informs them of the procedures for matching NIK-NPWP through tax classes to make the NIK-NPWP program successful.

The use of NIK as NPWP is part of the tax reform currently being carried out by DGT. There are several pillars of tax reform: organization, human resources (HR), information technology and databases, business processes, and laws and regulations. This has also been stipulated in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) 112/2022 as implementing rules for the use of an identification number (NIK) as a taxpayer identification number (NPWP). Referring to the consideration section of PMK 112/2022, the NPWP arrangement for individual taxpayers aims to provide justice and legal certainty in using NPWP in connection with NIK as NPWP.

DGT has been actively working with the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration to match taxpayer profile data with population data. However, the matching results have yet to produce a fully valid status for all individual taxpayers.

In today's tax class at the Surabaya Karangpilang Tax Office, Novan Andy Nugroho, the Tax Extension Team, explained that taxpayers need to prepare some personal data before carrying out the matching process for NIK as NPWP independently, such as KTP, family card number, telephone number, and email.

Novan Andy also explained that the steps for conducting validation were very easy and concise. First, taxpayers must log in to DJP Online by entering their NPWP, password, and security code. After that, taxpayers can access the DGT Online main menu and select the Profile menu.

On the Profile menu, taxpayers can validate data based on the information listed, namely Needs to be Updated or Needs to be Confirmed. Apart from that, taxpayers on the Profile menu must also enter data in the NIK/NPWP16 column.

After all, the data is filled in, and the taxpayer must press validation so the system can match it with data at the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Later, the taxpayer will receive a notification if the data is valid.

DGT will also prepare technical rules regarding data matching clarification between NIK and NPWP. The clarification is carried out as a follow-up to the invalid status for taxpayers on the DGT Online website.

This tax class also explains implementing regulations for corporate taxpayers, government agencies, and individuals other than the resident.s who will be given an NPWP in the 16-digit format through an application for registration by the taxpayer himself or by position.

Then, at the end of the dissemination, it was also explained that the arrangements for branch taxpayers who would be given an identification number for their place of business activity (NITKU) and still be given a 15-digit NPWP format could still be used until 31 December 2023.
