JAKARTA - Member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Budget Agency, Suhud Alynudin, questioned the decision of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) to reduce the revenue target of parking service taxes in the draft 2025 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) changes.

In the revised document, the DKI Provincial Government cut the parking tax target of IDR 50 billion, from IDR 350 billion to IDR 300 billion.

"Receipts from levies have actually decreased in the revised APBD," said Suhud in his statement, Tuesday, July 8.

According to him, the potential income from parking in the capital city should be maximized. Moreover, in the 2024 APBD, the revenue target from the same sector was set at IDR 330 billion.

"Even though we hope that the provincial government can increase revenue from this levy," said Suhud.

He also asked for an explanation from the local government regarding the reasons for the reduction in the target. As of July 4, 2025, the realization of parking service tax revenues was recorded to have reached Rp156.8 billion or around 44.80 percent of the initial target.

"It is necessary to explain from the provincial government why the retribution target was lowered," he said.

Suhud added that the DKI DPRD is currently forming a Parking Special Committee (Pansus) to fix the problem of parking management in Jakarta. One of the steps is to revise Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 5 of 2012 concerning Parking.

The chairman of the Parking Special Committee for the DKI DPRD, Jupiter, explained that the revision of the regional regulation will regulate parking management in various locations, including overcoming illegal parking practices that are often accompanied by levies outside the official tariff provisions.

"The change in the regional regulation will regulate how illegal parking is carried out by collecting prices that do not meet the tariff," said Jupiter.
