Jakarta, March 17, 2026 – PT Indonesia Digital Identity (VIDA), a trusted Electronic Certificate Authority (PSrE) appointed by Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance under Decree No. 584/2022, reaffirms its commitment to supporting the implementation of the country’s core tax administration system, Coretax. Through this role, VIDA ensures that taxpayers can use legally recognized and secure certified digital signatures when filing their Annual Tax Returns (SPT). This effort is further strengthened through an educational campaign titled “Lapor Coretax: Jangan PaNIK, Cukup Pakai NIK.”
As Indonesia’s Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) advances tax modernization through Coretax, ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and security of every electronic document becomes critical. VIDA’s certified digital signature, integrated with the National Identity Number (NIK), serves as a key solution to meet these requirements.
“We want to make tax reporting simpler while ensuring strong legal validity and data security,” said Niki Luhur, Founder and Group CEO of VIDA. “With a verified NIK, taxpayers can use certified digital signatures that are fully recognized by law. VIDA’s appointment as an official PSrE by the Ministry of Finance reflects the government’s trust in our digital identity services. Certified digital signatures carry the same legal standing as handwritten signatures under Indonesia’s Electronic Information and Transactions Law, while strengthening compliance and protecting taxpayer data.”
As an Electronic Certificate Authority, VIDA focuses on three key areas in supporting taxpayers:
1. Structured identity integration for smoother processes
By leveraging verified NIK data, VIDA simplifies the digital signature workflow while ensuring identity accuracy in every tax submission.
2. Legal certainty and regulatory compliance
As an officially appointed PSrE, VIDA guarantees that every certified digital signature meets regulatory requirements and holds the same legal validity as a handwritten signature.
3. Accessibility and contribution to digital transformation
VIDA plays a key role in accelerating Indonesia’s digital transformation, particularly in the tax ecosystem, by making standardized and secure digital signature solutions accessible to all taxpayers.
For taxpayers who are still unfamiliar with Coretax, VIDA provides a short tutorial video to guide users through the process of filing their Annual Tax Returns digitally.
Through this initiative, VIDA encourages all taxpayers to adopt certified digital signatures as part of their Coretax reporting, helping build a more modern, efficient, and trusted tax ecosystem in Indonesia.
