JAKARTA - The Ministry of Finance has spoken out regarding reports regarding Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa who is said to have a shortfall of Rp50 million in the Annual Income Tax Return (PPh).
Responding to this, the Head of the Communication and Information Service of the Ministry of Finance, Deni Surjantoro, said that the Minister of Finance Purbaya as a taxpayer had reported the Annual Income Tax Return for the 2025 Tax Year in a timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations.
Deni explained that in the taxation system, the condition of underpayment is something that can happen, especially for taxpayers who have income from more than one source.
"All of these incomes are combined in the tax calculation, while the tax deductions by each employer are carried out separately," he explained in his statement, Friday, March 27.
According to him, this condition can create a difference between the taxes that have been deducted and the taxes that are owed, including as a result of the application of progressive tax rates.
He added that to support ease and accuracy of reporting, the Coretax system has integrated tax data automatically (prepopulated), including proof of deduction, so as to help taxpayers fill out the Annual Income Tax Return correctly, completely, and clearly in accordance with the provisions.
"The Ministry of Finance appeals to all taxpayers to continue to carry out their tax obligations in an orderly and timely manner," he explained.
