To implement the Coretax System, the government has released Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 81 of 2024 to ensure its implementation is more transparent, effective, efficient, accountable, and flexible.
This regulation, which will take effect on January 1, 2025, results in the revocation of 42 outdated tax regulations, as they are no longer relevant to the Coretax system's implementation.
The regulation spans 642 pages and is divided into six chapters. It specifically covers several key areas, including the following.

Increasing Tax Revenue
According to Dwi Astuti, Director of Extension, Services, and Public Relations (P2 Humas) of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), the issuance of PMK Number 81 of 2024 is a follow-up to Presidential Regulation Number 40 of 2018.
She further explained that the implementation of Coretax aims to increase tax revenue and support the national economy. "Therefore, it is necessary to restructure tax regulations in a fair manner that provides legal certainty," said Dwi in her statement.
Previously, as part of the Coretax system implementation, the government had also introduced the use of the Population Identity Number (NIK) as the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). However, the use of NIK and other TIN formats consisting of 16 digits will be implemented gradually. (ASP/KEN)
