Indonesia vehicle tax policy and compliance initiatives

Overview

In late September 2026, regional authorities in Indonesia implemented vehicle tax relaxation programs to improve taxpayer compliance. The Central Java Provincial Government launched an initiative running from September 21 to December 28, 2026, which includes the waiver of administrative fines and progressive taxes for owners of multiple vehicles. This program aims to address a tax backlog and increase the current compliance rate, which stands at 54 percent. In Pati, the UPPD Samsat is targeting Rp179 billion in vehicle tax revenue for 2026. As of late September, realized revenue reached Rp106.7 billion, leaving a deficit of over Rp70 billion. To combat high arrears, local authorities are utilizing fine waivers for taxpayers with arrears of one year or more and a five percent tax discount available since February 2026. Additionally, ownership transfers have been simplified, allowing name changes via a statement letter without the previous owner’s ID. By early October, the scope of relief expanded across eleven provinces. In Banten, programs include a 5 percent discount on PKB for timely payments and significant discounts on vehicle transfers. East Java has also launched a two-month amnesty period, waiving administrative fines and providing a 20 percent reduction on PKB arrears from 2025 and earlier. By mid-October, accessibility efforts continued through various mobile and stationary services. In the Bantul Regency, residents can access ten service options, including Samsat Corner and specialized services. In the Jadetabek area, Polda Metro Jaya has deployed Samsat Keliling mobile units to facilitate annual tax payments. In early November 2026, the Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) announced a waiver of administrative sanctions for late payments of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fee (BBNKB). Effective from November 2 until December 31, 2026, the policy allows taxpayers to settle outstanding obligations without late fees.
