The Taxpayer Identity Number (TIN) is one of the important documents for citizens, both Indonesian citizens and foreigners working in Indonesia. It does not only function for tax matters but also as one of the administrative requirements. Taxpayers are not only individuals but also corporate taxpayers. For individual taxpayers, it consists of office workers or employees, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, corporate taxpayers consist of government entities and private entities. In the current digital era, not only through Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP), we can also make TIN online through the DJP website to get a digital one.
With our service, we can help you obtain your Taxpayer Identity Number in Indonesia which is a necessity when doing business in Indonesia. We can also help you in relinquishing it once you cease your operation in Indonesia.
Taxpayer Identity Number or Tax Identification Number (TIN), known as Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP) in Indonesia, is the number given to the taxpayer, or Wajib Pajak (WP) in Indonesia, for tools in tax administration as identification or identity of the taxpayer in fulfilling his rights and obligations. Besides Taxpayer’s Identity, TIN or NPWP has the function of maintaining discipline and compliance with tax payments as well as supervision of the tax administration of taxpayers.
One taxpayer only owns one NPWP. The NPWP consists of 15 digits; the first 9 are taxpayer code information, and the last 6 are administrative code information.
According to NPWP’s type, an individual and/or business entity owns a Taxpayer Identity Number.
A Taxpayer Identity Number is an important document for tax and administration requirements. Below are the purposes of taxpayer identity number.
Indonesian residents are required to have a Taxpayer Identity Number by the Indonesian Tax Office (Direktorat Jenderal Pajak). People can apply for NPWP online or offline.
Taxpayers must register at the Tax Service Office or KPP (Kantor Pelayanan Pajak) in their city of residence to get their Taxpayer Identity Number offline. Expats who reside in Jakarta must register with the Tax Office for Foreign Bodies and Expatriates or Kantor Pelayanan Pajak dan Orang Asing (KPP BADORA). After completing the registration form, taxpayers have to prepare several documents, which also depends on the type of taxpayers.
After the KPP receives all registration application requirements, the KPP issues a Letter of Receipt (Bukti Penerimaan Surat). KPP issues NPWP Card and Surat Keterangan Terdaftar (SKT) no later than 1 (one) working day after the Letter of Acceptance is issued. NPWP and SKT are sent by Registered Post.
People can use the https://pajak.go.id/ website to register for an NPWP online by creating an online DJP account first. Taxpayers must register via https://ereg.pajak.go.id/daftar by using an active email, then complete the requested data such as the type of taxpayer (personal or corporate), name, email address, mobile number, password, and others. After activating the account, the DJP account has been created.
After activating and creating the account, taxpayers must complete the registration form and upload the documents on the website. Then, when the NPWP application form is complete, taxpayers can Request a Token and Send the NPWP application. Once the application is complete and registered, the taxpayer will get a digital NPWP sent to the taxpayers’ address.
Taxpayers (Wajib Pajak) are individuals or entities with the ability to pay taxes, withhold taxes, and collect taxes and have rights and obligations related to taxation under applicable regulations. Every citizen or business entity can obtain Taxpayer Identity Number. People or companies can register to get a Taxpayer Identity Number or NPWP anytime. Individual applicants can register when they are 17 or 18 (having an ID Card or KTP).
Some people are not old enough (adolescents) but have income above Penghasilan Tidak Kena Pajak (PTKP), such as child actors, child singers, or models. Everyone who meets the Objective and Subjective requirements is obliged to carry out his tax obligations. Subjective requirements are if you have been born into the world and resided in Indonesia for more than 183 days within 12 months. Then the objective requirement is if the person has income above PTKP. According to the UU PPh No. 36 Tahun 2008 Pasal 7: “The income of an immature child from whatever source of income and the nature of the work is combined with the income of his parents in the same tax year.”
