The government through the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) is encouraging the public to validate the Population Identification Number (NIK) as the Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). This is in line with Law No. 7 of 2021, which is followed up by Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2021. As for the implementation time, the government officially postponed the use of NIK as a TIN from January 1, 2024 to July 1, 2024. This is as stated in Minister of Finance Regulation No. 136 of 2023 concerning Amendments to PMK No. 112 of 2022 concerning NPWP Individuals, Corporate Taxpayers, and Government Agency Taxpayers. Thus, the deadline for matching is also adjusted until the middle of next year.
Purpose of Matching NIK to NPWP
The matching of NIK to NPWP aims to optimize tax administration services and provide convenience for taxpayers in fulfilling their tax obligations by using a single identity. This step will provide significant efficiency for taxpayers. That way, all tax transactions will use NIK as a single identity, with an integrated NPWP. This change will apply permanently. Expert Staff of the Minister of Finance for Tax Compliance, Yon Arsal explained that taxpayers who do not match NIK into NPWP will face certain consequences. One of them is that taxpayers will experience difficulties when accessing tax services, such as Annual Tax Return (SPT) or Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) activation. “If the taxpayer’s NIK is invalid because data matching has not been carried out until that date, the taxpayer cannot carry out taxation rights and obligations and cannot use administrative services by other parties that require the use of NPWP,” the DGT wrote in its social media account @DitjenPajakRI. As for the Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations of the DGT, Dwi Astuti explained that as of December 7, 2023, there were a total of 59.56 million NIK-NPWPs that had been matched. A total of 55.76 million were matched by the system and 3.8 million were matched by taxpayers. The number reaches 82.52 percent of the total Domestic Individual Taxpayers.
Then How to Match NIK to NPWP?
To match NIK data to NPWP can be done easily online. You can first check the status of the NIK whether it has been integrated with the NPWP on the official DGT website. Here’s how:
- Open the tax.go.id website
- Click on the Login menu on the top right
- Enter your TIN, password, and security code, then click login.
Well, if the login is successful, it means that the NIK has been matched with the NPWP. However, if the NIK is not yet linked, you can match it independently with the following steps:
- Log in to the djponline.pajak.go.id page
- Enter NPWP and password for online DGT account
- Fill in the security code
- Click Login
- Select Profile and Profile Data
- Enter NIK, check validity by selecting Validation
- Click Change Profile
- Logout and login again using your NIK
- If the NIK is listed with a valid status, then the NIK to NPWP matching has been successful.
After the NIK status is valid as an NPWP, then you as a taxpayer can complete other data such as residential address, telephone number, and email for DGT tax administration. There is also a Business Classification Data menu. Make sure the status is valid, by filling in the main job and other jobs correctly.
