Tips and Guide for Managing the PPh 21 Tax Code for Salary Deductions

In order to optimize tax administration in a simple way, the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) is now trying to utilize technology called e-billing. The billing system will make it easier for the tax administration to manage billing codes and publish them electronically.

• The first step, you can access the online DJP portal and enter your NPWP (Taxpayer Identification Number) using a password and security code.
• After entering the DJP Online "Dashboard" menu, users can immediately switch to the "Pay" option to select "e-billing".
• Before getting the PPh 21 tax code, users will be directed to fill out an electronic deposit letter. The NPWP section can be filled in with accurate information, including "Name" and "Address".
• Determine the "Type of Tax" you want, then select "PPH Article 21" using code 411121. You can directly select STP using code "300".
• Include details regarding "Tax Validity Period", "Taxation Year", and "Deposit Amount".
• Users also need to enter the "Determination Number" from the STP issued by KPP.
• Issue “Billing Code” to enter “Security Code”. Click "Submit" to see information regarding the electronic deposit letter which will be processed by the authorized tax agency.
• Make sure all the data you have entered is correct, then tap "Print" to download the billing code printout. Users need to pay "Tax Fines" using "Billing ID".
• The classification of PPh 21 can be done based on the object of deduction, for example the private sector is for private employees, while the government sector is specifically for civil servants (PNS).
