JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has removed administrative sanctions or fines for motor vehicle tax (PKB) and motor vehicle name change tax (BBNKB) delays for three months. This policy is valid from June 1 to August 31, 2026 in the context of the 499th anniversary of the City of Jakarta.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) Lusiana Herawati said the policy was determined through the Decree of the Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Bapenda Number e-0018 of 2026 concerning the Release of Administrative Sanctions on a Job for PKB and BBNKB.

"Through this policy, the public can pay their vehicle tax obligations without being subject to late interest. The release is automatically granted through the Regional Tax system without the need for a request," said Lusiana in his statement, Monday, June 1.

Through this program, taxpayers who have PKB or BBNKB arrears only need to pay the principal tax due. Administrative sanctions in the form of interest due to late payment or tax deposit will be automatically removed by the system.

According to Lusiana, the fine exemption facility is given to taxpayers who make tax payments or deposits in the period from June 1 to August 31, 2026.

"Thus, the public has the opportunity for three months to complete the obligations of PKB and BBNKB without being charged late interest," he said.

Bapenda emphasized that the public did not need to apply for a special application to obtain this facility. The elimination of fines is done by department so that there is no additional administrative process that must be taken by taxpayers.

"One of the things that makes this policy easier is that the exemption mechanism is carried out by post. This means that taxpayers do not need to make a request letter, come to apply for the removal of fines, or undergo additional administrative processes," said Lusiana.

In addition to providing relief to people who are behind on vehicle taxes, this policy is also aimed at increasing compliance with local tax payments while encouraging the optimization of digital-based tax services.

"This policy is one form of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's support for the community, especially for taxpayers who want to return to administrative order but are constrained by the burden of late fines," he said.

Lusiana invited the public to take advantage of this momentum to complete vehicle tax obligations before the program ends at the end of August.

"Just make the principal payment of vehicle tax within the program period, then the local tax system will automatically adjust the applicable sanction exemption," he concluded.
