Indonesian provinces offer vehicle tax amnesty programs

Nine provinces in Indonesia are currently conducting vehicle tax amnesty programs, with several deadlines approaching on October 31, 2026. The participating provinces include Banten, Lampung, South Sumatra, West Kalimantan, West Papua, Bangka Belitung Islands, North Kalimantan, Riau Islands, and South Sulawesi.

These programs offer various incentives for taxpayers, such as the elimination of late payment penalties, discounts on the principal Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB), reductions in arrears, and exemptions from Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fees (BBNKB) for specific categories.

In Banten, for example, the provincial government is offering the removal of PKB fines and mandatory road accident fund (SWDKLLJ) fines from previous years. Additionally, taxpayers who settle their obligations before the due date may receive a 5 percent discount on the principal PKB.
