Jakarta waives vehicle tax penalties until December 2026

The Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) has announced a waiver of administrative sanctions for late payments of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fee (BBNKB). The policy, effective from November 2, 2026, until December 31, 2026, allows taxpayers to settle outstanding obligations without incurring late fees.

According to Bapenda Head Lusiana Herawati, the waiver is granted automatically through adjustments to the regional tax management information system, meaning taxpayers do not need to submit formal applications. The initiative aims to provide flexibility for citizens to manage their tax obligations amidst varying economic dynamics and to support Jakarta's regional development through increased tax compliance.
