Set up Tax DTP for Indonesia payroll so your employee can receive DTP incentive in Payroll PPh21 calculation.


This guide will cover the following:


Set up PPh21 DTP

  1. Go to Settings > Payroll > click on Tax DTP field > Select PPh21 DTP 2025/2026

  2. Under Other Fixed Income, select the pay items that should be counted for DTP eligibility. Exclude basic salary pay item from Other Fixed Income. The pay items you select here directly affect DTP eligibility results.

  3. Set Payroll Cycle Cut-Off Date. Payroll cut-off date affects DTP in two key ways:

    1. It determines the reference month used to assess DTP eligibility.

    2. It affects resignation month mapping, which can change whether PPh21 is TER or Annualized in that payroll month.
      Example with cut-off date = 25:

      1. Join date 24 June or 25 June: reference month is June.

      2. Join date 26 June: reference month is July.

      3. Resign date 24 June or 25 June: June payroll is treated as final-month logic (Annualized).

      4. Resign date 26 June: June can still be TER, and Annualized shifts to July final payroll logic.

  4. Click Save.

Important notes:

  1. DTP eligibility is calculated when payroll is generated/recalculated for the first time for the employee.

    1. For existing employee: DTP eligibility is calculated in January payroll

    2. For new joiners:

      • If the join date is on/before cut-off: system uses the join month as reference.

      • If the join date is after cut-off: system uses the next month as reference.

    3. Eligibility check uses:

      • Wage + selected Other Fixed Income <= Rp10,000,000

  1. The employee's Nett Addition column in payroll list.

Q: Why is DTP not applied for some staff?

A: PPh21 DTP applies to employees of employers in qualifying industries (including labour-intensive manufacturing and, from October–December 2025, tourism) who:

  1. Have a valid NPWP or NIK registered and integrated with the Directorate General of Taxes system

  2. Receive gross income within specified limits.
