The government has launched a new webpage as an alternative site to obtain an Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN). The new webpage to obtain EFIN can be accessed online via the link efin.pajak.go.id starting Tuesday, 23 March 2021.

The government has launched efin.pajak.go.id webpage as many taxpayers have inquired about how to obtain EFIN. Further, this page has also been released to provide taxpayers with the best services. In connection with the launch of efin.pajak.go.id webpage, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), through its official website, has released Announcement No. PENG-4/PJ.09/2021 regarding New Services to Obtain EFIN (PENG-4/2021).

Through this announcement, DGT informs taxpayers that they must prepare and ensure three things to access these services. First, the Taxpayer Identification Number (Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak/NPWP) must be valid. Second, the Single Identity Number (Nomor Induk Kependudukan/NIK) must be valid according to the data available at the Population and Civil Registry Office (Dinas Kependudukan dan Catatan Sipil/Dukcapil). Third, the taxpayer's photo is included in the Dukcapil data and is in accordance with the taxpayer’s current condition, either he wears glasses or not. If otherwise, the taxpayer can contact Dukcapil.

Having ensured the availability of NPWP, NIK, and photos, taxpayers may subsequently access the efin.pajak.go.id webpage. The taxpayer must then allow the right of access to use the camera on a cell phone or computer. The next stage, taxpayers are required to fill in NPWP data and take photos through a cell phone or computer camera.

Upon data completion, the taxpayer will receive a notification that the EFIN data has been sent to the taxpayer’s e-mail registered in the DGT’s database. The EFIN data is received by taxpayers in Portable Document Format (PDF). To open the EFIN data, taxpayers require a 6-character password which represents the 4^th digit to the 9^th digit of the taxpayer’s NPWP.
