Gotrade News - Indonesia's Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) extended the corporate annual tax filing deadline to May 31, 2026. The previous deadline expired on April 30, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- DJP pushed the corporate income tax (PPh Badan) filing deadline by one month.
- About 4,000 corporate taxpayers had requested formal relief.
- Indonesia's tax revenue growth remained above 18% as of April 29, 2026.
Director General of Taxes Bimo Wijayanto announced the extension on Thursday (30/04). He spoke at the Menteng Dua Tax Office in Jakarta.
The relaxation applies to the SPT Tahunan PPh Badan, Indonesia's annual corporate income tax return. The filing window now runs through May 31, 2026.
"Yes, the relaxation runs until May 31," Bimo said. He confirmed an official circular detailing the extension would follow shortly.
Why DJP Extended the Deadline
Roughly 4,000 corporate taxpayers submitted formal petitions for the deadline relief. Additional requests came from tax consultants and industry associations.
Technical issues with Indonesia's Coretax filing system added pressure for an extension. Bimo said he sought guidance from Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa earlier that morning.
The Finance Minister directed DJP to weigh extending the reporting window. The relaxation followed quickly after that ministerial guidance.
Payments and Revenue Outlook
DJP has not yet extended the PPh Pasal 29 corporate tax payment deadline. Bimo said the office continues to analyze that option internally.
Revenue performance shaped the cautious stance on payment relief. Tax collection growth stayed above 18% through April 29, 2026.
DJP recorded 12.7 million returns filed against a 15 million target by April 30. The current realization rate sits near 84% of total expected filings.
Investors with Indonesian business operations should note the extra month for corporate compliance. The change does not affect individual taxpayer deadlines, which closed earlier.
