The Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) stated that the implementation of the Population Identification Number (NIK) policy as the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) has reached 53 million data.

Director General of Taxes Suryo Utomo said that this amount was a recapitulation carried out until the beginning of this year, precisely until January 8, 2023 ago.

"Our target is an integrated NIK with NPWP to reach a total of 69 million data," he said during a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday, January 10.

According to Suryo, the government's efforts to determine the NIK as the NPWP are also intended to expand the tax base in the country. In addition, it is also a mandate of Law Number 7 of 2022 and Presidential Decree 83/2022 and PMK No.122/2022.

"We support the one-data policy in Indonesia through the inclusion of single identity numbers that are administratively and integrated, including in terms of taxation," he said.

Suryo added that his party is still collaborating with the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs to be able to complete the target of 69 million.

"NIK as NPWP can be the same primary key in producing policy analysis to make it more optimal," he stressed.

Meanwhile, for people who have undergone data changes after or before the NIK is integrated with the NPWP, it is hoped that they will immediately update the information through the applicable official channels.

"The Directorate General of Taxes urges taxpayers (WP) of domestic private persons who have registered to match NIK as NPWP through the DJPOnline portal on official websites," concluded Suryo.
