Can Taxpayers Deactivate or Revoke NPWP? – Each country generally implements or has an obligation for every citizen to be able to carry out tax payments in accordance with the policies of each country. This obligation is carried out by all taxpayers, both individual taxpayers and corporate taxpayers.
The tax payment itself is a manifestation of state obligations and the participation of taxpayers/society. In accordance with the philosophy of tax legislation, paying taxes is not only an obligation, but is the right of every citizen to participate in the form of a role to encourage growth and national economic development.
Programs that provide health, education, infrastructure, and other services are essential to achieving the common goal of a prosperous, functional, and orderly society.
The government needs a sustainable source of funding for social programs and public investments. The government designed a tax compliance system that would not discourage taxpayers from participating.

Deactivate Tax/NPWP
When having a NPWP, a person has tax rights and obligations that he must fulfill, one of which is reporting taxes through the Annual SPT. If they do not report, the taxpayer will be subject to a fine, which is IDR. 100.000.
However, if a taxpayer no longer has income or no longer works, then he can deactivate his own NPWP.
The rules for deactivating NPWP so that they become non-effective taxpayers (NE) are based on SE-27/PJ/2020 which states that non-effective taxpayers are taxpayers who no longer meet subjective and/or objective requirements but have not removed their NPWP.
NE taxpayer status itself can only be carried out by the KPP (Tax Service Office) or DGT.

Based on PER-04/PJ/2020, there are several conditions under which the DGT can give approval for a taxpayer to become a NE taxpayer. Here below:

The Difference Deactivating & Revoking NPWP
Deactivating the NPWP is not the same as Revoking the NPWP. NPWP abolition taxpayers are taxpayers who no longer meet subjective and objective requirements and have deleted their NPWP. In other words, the taxpayer’s identification number is not valid, aka ‘dead’ permanently. If the taxpayer wants to turn it on again, must make a new NPWP.
While Deactivating the NPWP means that the taxpayer’s identification number is only temporarily inactive. Taxpayers can activate it again by going through the applicable procedures.
Closing
Based on the explanation above. In fact, taking care of deactivating NPWP is not too difficult for taxpayers. And taxpayers who have not met the subjective or objective requirements, can also manage/submit an application for revocation of NPWP. Both can be done in writing to the Tax Service Office (KPP) where it is registered directly or online.
