In his presentation, he highlighted the importance of understanding CoreTax as the newest tax administration system being implemented by the government. According to him, CoreTax has various advantages, including increased efficiency in tax administration and easy access for taxpayers to fulfill their tax obligations.

“CoreTax is an innovation that aims to simplify the tax process and increase taxpayer compliance. “With this system, it is hoped that tax administration will become more transparent, accurate and efficient,” said Mr. Wirawiweka in the material presentation session.

The participants showed high enthusiasm during the event, especially when the discussion and question and answer sessions opened.
