DGT: As Of August 2023, 58.7 Million NIKs Have Been Integrated With NPWP
The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) noted that 58.7 million Population Identification Numbers (NIK) have been integrated with the Taxpayer Basic Number (NPWP) as of August 2023.
This amount is equivalent to 82.3 percent of the total 71.3 million private taxpayers.
"There have been 58.7 million NIKs installed with NPWP. So, it's around 82.3 percent of the 71.3 million NIK-NPWP that we have to match before the implementation of the core-tax. So it's quite progressive," said Director General of Taxes Suryo Utomo in a press conference for the September 2023 edition of the KiTa State Budget, quoted from Antara, Thursday, September 21.
Suryo said the DGT had collaborated with various parties in efforts to match NIK and NPWP, including the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil), banking, to local governments (Pemda).
In addition, DGT also makes matchings with taxpayers who give workers who cut PPh 21.
The integration of NPWP with NIK is a tangible manifestation of the reforms carried out by DGT in providing convenience to the community in carrying out the task of paying taxes.
The matching is carried out by sharing data and information about the Indonesian population from Dukcapil with information related to taxpayers in the DGT.
Thus, it is hoped that data in the two agencies can be immediately integrated so that there are no problems during the implementation of the NIK as the NPWP.

The collaboration between DGT and Dukcapil also includes the use of NIK, population data, and Electronic Identity Cards (KTP) in DGT services.
This collaboration aims to continue to improve the convenience for taxpayers in accessing and receiving tax services through the integration of data between the two agencies.
Integration of population and tax data will also further strengthen efforts to enforce tax compliance because population data is source data used by many government agencies and non-governmental institutions, so as to increase the effectiveness of tax compliance monitoring.
