E-invoicing in Indonesia

Live Confidence: medium Checked 21 Jul 2026
ModelCTC clearance · Coretax DJP (which absorbed the legacy e-Faktur system). Channels: Coretax portal, PJAP certified providers, e-Faktur Client Desktop, host-to-host.
Required formate-Faktur XML (DJP proprietary schema — not UBL, not Peppol). DJP returns a QR code; the serial number (NSFP) is auto-generated by Coretax. PKI digital certificate required.

Who is in scope

B2B, B2G and exports — all VAT-registered taxpayers (PKP), i.e. above the IDR 4.8bn annual turnover registration threshold (voluntary below), plus qualifying non-resident digital service providers (PMSE VAT collectors). This is a VAT tax-invoice regime, not a general commercial B2B e-invoicing mandate: non-PKP and pure B2C retail receipts sit outside it.

Key dates

  • 1 Jul 2016 e-Faktur mandatory nationwide (Java-Bali from 2015)
  • 1 Jan 2025 Coretax DJP goes live as the central platform for VAT reporting and e-invoice clearance; serial numbers now auto-generated
  • 12 Feb 2025 KEP-54/PJ/2025 reopens e-Faktur Client Desktop to all PKP as a fallback after the troubled Coretax launch (excludes transaction codes 06 and 07); desktop invoices sync to Coretax at H+2
  • 22 May 2025 PER-11/PJ/2025 (with PER-8/PJ/2025): upload deadline moved from the 15th to the 20th of the following month; revised serial/transaction codes
  • 8 Nov 2025 DJP stops migrating cancellation/replacement statuses from e-Faktur Desktop into Coretax — a known desync trap
  • 31 Dec 2025 e-Faktur formally superseded by Coretax for almost all PKP (secondary sources only)
  • 1 Jan 2026 Coretax is the primary interface for VAT operations; reportedly only PKP issuing ≥ 10,000 invoices/month retain Desktop/H2H (secondary sources only — NOT confirmed against DJP)
What practitioners get burned by

Indonesia has NO separate B2B e-invoicing mandate — what exists is the decade-old VAT tax-invoice (Faktur Pajak) regime, now cleared through Coretax. Trackers that bill this as a 'new 2025 B2B mandate' are mislabelling a platform migration. Indonesia is NOT a Peppol jurisdiction; vendor claims that Coretax needs Peppol connectivity are wrong. The hard commercial deadline is PER-11/PJ/2025's 20th-of-following-month upload cliff: miss it and the BUYER loses input VAT, which makes supplier upload discipline a buyer's problem. The H+2 desync trap: since 8 Nov 2025 cancellations/replacements made in e-Faktur Desktop no longer propagate to Coretax. Desktop-channel invoices have a '9' injected at the 5th digit of the NSFP, which breaks AP matching keyed on serial format. The 2026 channel rules (Desktop retirement, ≥10,000-invoice carve-out) are secondary-sourced only — verify with DJP before designing a channel strategy.
