Survey: Most Trusted E-Commerce & E-Wallets to Pay Taxes Online

Digitalization makes things easier, including in tax payments. We can pay taxes online through various platforms, such as e-commerce or digital wallets.

Jakpat conducted a survey to find out public perceptions regarding digital tax payments. The report, which involved 2,036 respondents, shows what digital platforms are for paying taxes, why they choose them, and how satisfied they are with using them.

The survey results stated that respondents who had paid land and building tax (PBB) through digital platforms in the last 1 year admitted to paying other types of taxes digitally, namely vehicle tax/PKB (71%), income tax/PPh (77%), and local taxes & retributions (76%).

“One of the impacts of the pandemic is the development of digital platforms that help people carry out various activities online, one of which is the payment of PBB and PKB taxes. In the end, this habit carried over until now, and has proven to be able to help people become compliant taxpayers, without sacrificing a lot of energy and time in the payment process,” said Head of Research Jakpat, Aska Primardi.

“This is in line with digital behavior in the general public who need super apps that can meet all their needs, from finding information, shopping, interacting, to paying taxes,” he added.
