The policy of the Population Identification Number (NIK) becoming a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) is intended to make it easier for people to access tax services. The Directorate General (Ditjen) of Taxes of the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) began implementing this policy on July 14, 2022.
New NPWP Format
There are several new provisions that KH pals must consider so as not to make mistakes when managing tax services in the future. Currently, three new NPWP formats are applied, namely:
- Individual taxpayers who are residents will use NIK as NPWP. Residents themselves refer to Indonesian citizens and foreigners residing in Indonesia.
- Non-resident individual taxpayers, corporate taxpayers, and government agency taxpayers will use the 16-digit NPWP format.
- For Branch Taxpayers using the identity number of the place of business activity.
However, the new format is still under development and can only be used on a limited basis in tax administration services, so currently the old format still applies.
The new format will be fully effective on January 1, 2024 when Coretax is operational. Therefore, the new NPWP format will be more effectively applied as a whole, both for all DGT services and other parties’ administrative interests that require the use of NPWP.
Technically, if an individual taxpayer who is a resident and already has an NPWP, the NIK automatically functions as a new format NPWP. Meanwhile, for taxpayers other than individuals, they only need to add the number 0 in front of the old NPWP or 15-digit format. Branch taxpayers will be given an identity number for the place of business activity by the Directorate General of Taxes.

After understanding the new format of NPWP so NIK, KH Friend must also know how the provisions for activating NIK into NPWP. The provisions that apply to taxpayers who do not yet have an NPWP are for individual taxpayers who are residents, their NIK will be activated as an NPWP.

Meanwhile, corporate taxpayers, government agencies, and individuals other than residents are given a TIN with a 16-digit format through registration applications by the taxpayer himself or in office.
Meanwhile, Branch Taxpayers will be given an identity number for the place of business activities, and will still be given a 15-digit NPWP format that can be used until December 31, 2023.
