JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said he would soon improve the Coretax system to address the practice of reporting the Annual Notification Letter (SPT) of taxpayers as widely offered on social media.
According to him, the emergence of jockeys is inseparable from the gap in the taxation system, which is then used by certain parties.
"That is, if in the economy, if there is an opportunity, there must be someone who enters there. But, in the future, we will betulin so that Coretax does not need to use joki anymore," said Purbaya in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, April 7.
According to him, the design of Coretax has weaknesses so that it actually makes the platform less user-friendly for the general public, which then creates opportunities for intermediaries in the form of jockeys who bridge users with web-based tax service systems.
"It turns out that it is designed to be a little difficult for ordinary people to use, so there is a jockey or software interface that can connect Coretax with ordinary people," said Purbaya.
He said that for now, the time was too short to improve the tax service system in one platform. Moreover, it was less than a month since he knew about the problem.
The phenomenon of Coretax jockeys is rampant offered on social media. A number of accounts on the social media platform Threads openly offer the services of reporting the Annual Notification Letter (SPT) of taxpayers, even at relatively cheap rates.
These accounts generally target taxpayers who have difficulty using the Coretax system.
As is known, the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) recorded that as of April 5, 2025, the number of taxpayers who have activated the Coretax account reached 17,710,824.
Of this amount, 16,643,707 are personal taxpayers, 976,261 are corporate taxpayers, 90,629 are government agencies, and 227 are traders through the electronic system (PMSE).
