VAT Refund Processing for Foreign Passport Holders During Coretax Downtime

  • The DJP Coretax system will have downtime from Friday, June 5, 2026 at 18:00 to Monday, June 8, 2026 at 05:59 WIB, affecting tax services.
  • During the downtime, retail PKP taxpayers cannot issue tax invoices through Coretax, and foreign passport holders’ VAT/PPnBM refund applications cannot be processed normally.
  • For tourist refunds, if the taxpayer could not show a tax invoice for purchases made on June 5–8, 2026, the refund may still be processed by transfer, provided the retail PKP later issues the invoice.
  • This exception applies to refund applications submitted from June 5 to July 8, 2026.
  • Refunds are still generally paid in cash for amounts up to Rp5,000,000 and by bank transfer for amounts above that, with transfer fees charged to the tourist.
