Completing the Main SPT Form<\/h2>\n
The Main Form is the core of the filing process. At this stage, you answer questions related to business type, bookkeeping methods, and certain transactions.<\/p>\n
Your answers will determine which attachments must be completed. Ensure the company identity data matches the deed and official documents.<\/p>\n
Completing SPT Attachments in Coretax<\/h2>\n
SPT attachments in Coretax are far more detailed. Reconciliation of financial statements is the main focus, including positive and negative fiscal adjustments.<\/p>\n
In addition, Coretax requires completion of capital lists, debts, affiliated receivables, gross turnover, as well as asset and liability lists with acquisition values and year-end fair values. Accuracy at this stage is critical to your final SPT results.<\/p>\n
Upload Documents and Verification<\/h2>\n
After all forms are completed, upload supporting documents in PDF format. Conduct a final review, as Coretax will notify you if any data is inconsistent.<\/p>\n
We recommend saving the draft before final submission.<\/p>\n
Payment and Submission of the SPT<\/h2>\n
If there is underpaid income tax, the system will issue a billing code. The tax must be paid before the SPT is submitted.<\/p>\n
After payment, proceed with electronic signing and submit the SPT. An Electronic Receipt will be issued as official proof of filing.<\/p>\n
Deadlines and Risks of Late Filing<\/h2>\n
The Annual Corporate Tax Return must be filed no later than March 31 of the following year. Late filing is subject to a fine of IDR 1,000,000, as well as potential interest penalties if the tax has not been paid.<\/p>\n
With the integrated Coretax system, even minor errors can be easily detected.<\/p>\n
