Indonesia’s Directorate General of Taxes has announced the recruitment of tax volunteers for activities in 2027.
Interested university students may wonder whether this is simply an educational program or a position that involves providing actual assistance.
Because the application deadline is listed differently across reports, it is especially important to review the official notice again before applying.
3-Line Summary
1. The Directorate General of Taxes is recruiting tax volunteers for 2027
2. The program is open to university students, professors, and educational staff
3. Deadline listings differ across reports
The program is open not only to university students but also to professors and educational staff
The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) under Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance stated that it is recruiting again for 2027 participation in the Renjani program, meaning “Tax Volunteers for the Nation.” Reports by DDTCNews and Ortax said the program is open to university students, professors, and educational staff affiliated with various higher-education institutions in Indonesia. A detikFinance report also quoted the Directorate General of Taxes’ guidance as requesting participation from university students, professors, and educational staff.
The program does not state that it is limited to people majoring in taxation. According to the guidance provided, the key points are whether the applicant’s university is one of the various higher-education institutions and whether the applicant falls within the categories of university student, professor, or educational staff. The Directorate General of Taxes explained that participation can broaden one’s range of knowledge and personal network, while developing an attitude of helping citizens and leadership.
However, this wording describes the program’s objectives and expected benefits as presented by the Directorate General of Taxes. It should not be interpreted as meaning that any particular qualification or compensation is guaranteed for participants. The procedures specifically confirmed in the reports involve applying, verification, training, and account activation.
Verification and training follow the application
The application route identified is the Renjani portal. Applicants must accurately and completely fill out and submit the personal-information form there. Each tax center—a tax education and support hub—then screens and verifies the application information.
The system sends verified applicants an email containing an activation link. Applicants reset their passwords through that link and then log in again with the new password. They must also complete all registration steps and the training course before their Renjani account is activated and available for use. In other words, activities do not begin immediately upon submitting the form; the process includes passing verification and training.
Ortax explained that tax volunteers help citizens fulfill their tax obligations. The scope of assistance includes help preparing documents and explanations of tax regulations, rights, and obligations. This does not mean that volunteers make tax decisions on citizens’ behalf. The role confirmed in the published reports is to assist and guide citizens in preparing relevant documents and understanding basic regulations.
The start date is consistently August 31, but the deadlines differ
All three reports list August 31, 2026 as the recruitment start date. However, the deadlines differ. DDTCNews and Ortax reported that applications would be accepted until October 2, while detikFinance reported a deadline of September 2. Because the end dates do not match among materials covering the same recruitment, it is difficult to declare either date as the confirmed deadline.
The Directorate General of Taxes announcement number cited by DDTCNews and Ortax is PENG-49/PJ.09/2026. Anyone considering applying should compare the schedule and registration status shown in that announcement and on the Renjani portal directly, rather than deciding solely on the dates stated in the articles. This does not mean that the recruitment itself is uncertain; it means only that the deadline listing conflicts among the provided reports.
Ortax reported that, to date, 2924 tax volunteers have participated in the program, with support from 557 tax centers and 34 regional offices of the Directorate General of Taxes. It also said that volunteer activities totaled 331 million 2514 thousand cases. These figures do not represent the number of people to be selected in the 2027 recruitment or the amount of activity by any individual. They should instead be understood as showing the scale at which the existing program has supported tax services and education for citizens.
The clearest points in this announcement are the eligibility categories and the application steps. By contrast, the deadline varies by article, so the latest listing on the official portal should be the basis for deciding whether to apply. Separately from the fact that the observed search market was Indonesia, the recruitment eligibility and program scope discussed in this article are based on the participation criteria for people affiliated with Indonesian higher-education institutions as specified in the provided reports.
