What Is the Unification Income Tax Period SPT?

The Unification Income Tax Period SPT is a tax reporting system that consolidates several types of Income Tax (PPh) withholdings into a single electronic form. This innovation by the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) aims to simplify tax administration for tax withholders such as companies and government institutions.

Reporting is done through the e-Bupot Unification application available on DJP Online.
