JAKARTA - The Ministry of Cooperatives (Kemenkop) together with the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) are committed to building an integrated, valid, and interchangeable cooperative data ecosystem.

In order to encourage the fulfillment of NPWP ownership, the legal standing obstacles of cooperatives in carrying out business activities can be overcome through NPWP ownership which is the official tax identity for cooperatives as cooperative legal entities.
