JAKARTA. The Directorate General of Tax (DGT) has implemented a deployment system of online application, as a follow-up to the expansion of tax incentives provided by the government to taxpayers (WP) affected by Covid-19. Deployment system is carried out to accommodate industrial fields which were not previously included in the list of recipient facilities.
Thus, taxpayers included in the expansion criteria can already access the requirements through the DGT website online, starting on 2 May, 2020. As it is known, the government has expanded the scope of tax facilities provision for companies affected by Covid-19 by issuing Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) number 44 / PMK.03 / 2020, which revised and revoked the previous regulation, PMK number 23 / PMK.03 / 2020.
