JAKARTA - Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Dwi Astuti, said that prepopulated is not a new way of reporting Annual Notifications (SPT).

"Prepopulated is a filling method in providing convenience for taxpayers in filling out Annual SPT, where data on cuts and/or tax collection by third parties (tax collectors) is automatically presented in the concept of an electronically filled taxpayer Annual Taxpayer (e-filing)," he explained in his statement, Monday, November 18.

Dwi conveyed that based on the data that had been presented, Taxpayers only had to confirm the truth.

Thus, annual SPT filling can be done more quickly, easily, and accurately.

Meanwhile, prepopulated has been implemented several years ago, but the coverage is only limited to the Cut Evidence of 1721 A1 and 1721 A2. In the future, the scope of prepopulated cut evidence will be expanded to other types of taxes. This expansion will certainly make it easier to fill out the Annual SPT.

Dwi explained that the purpose of this arrangement is to provide convenience for taxpayers whose net income is less than a year of PTKP, simplicity of tax administration governance, and legal certainty for taxpayers.

He added that this does not negate the obligation to report Annual SPT, but is a filling method that makes it easier for taxpayers to fill out their Annual SPT electronically.

Meanwhile, taxpayers whose net income for a year is less than Non-Taxable Income (PTKP) are exempt from the obligation to report Annual SPT.
