YOGYAKARTA - When it comes to the comparison between a gasoline car and an electric car, of course the price is different, electric car is much more expensive nowadays. But is an electric car tax much more expensive too?

Actually, even though the price is higher, it is proven that four-wheeled vehicles are subject to a fairly cheap tax fee from the government. Check out the explanation below.

The four-wheeled vehicle tax is basically always adjusted to the price of the four-wheeled vehicle itself. The amount of tax costs is taken by a certain percentage of the vehicle price. This also applies to four-electric wheeled vehicles.

In Indonesia, there are two types of electric four-wheeled vehicles that can be obtained, namely Tesla and Hyundai electric cars. The following is a tax list for the two four-wheeled vehicles.

The method of calculating the tax for four-wheeled vehicles is electric

To calculate this tax, there is a formula that you can follow. By modeling this formula, you can calculate tax costs more easily. Here are the formulas for calculating PKB or Motor Point Tax:

PKB = Motorized Selling Price (NJKB) X 2%

For example, if you buy four-wheeled Tesla Type 3 electric vehicles at a price of IDR 1.5 billion, therefore the tax calculation is as follows.

IDR 1,500,000,000 x 2% = IDR 30,000,000

However, don't forget that the government provides incentives for taxes on four-wheeled vehicles. Thus, four-wheeled vehicle owners only need to pay 10% of the PKB point.

This means that if you have four-wheeled Tesla Type 3 electric vehicles with PKB of Rp. 30,000,000, therefore all that needs to be paid is only:

10% x IDR 30,000,000 = IDR 3,000,000. So, the final tax points that need to be paid are IDR 3,000,000 and later added with the SWDKLLJ contribution of IDR 143,000, so the total is IDR 3,143,000.

Government regulations regarding four-electric wheeled vehicle taxes

Policies regarding tax payments and incentives from the government have been legally controlled. This regulation is stated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 1 in 2021 articles 10 and 11. For article 10, the regulations contain:

Paragraph 1, the PKB tariff for electric motorized vehicles is 10% highest, for battery-based vehicles

Paragraph 2, BBNKB tariffs for electric motorized vehicles on battery-based vehicles are at the highest 10%

Paragraph 3, PKB and BBNKB KBL for vehicles that use batteries, both in people and goods in paragraphs 1 and 2 are incentives from governors

Then, the regulation also proceeds to Article 11. For article 11, the things that are limited in it include the following provisions:

Paragraph 1, the PKB tariff for electric motor vehicles on public transportation that uses batteries, is 10% higher

Paragraph 2, the BBNKB KBL tariff on public transport vehicles that use batteries, will be subject to a tariff of 10% for the highest tariff

Paragraph 5, the rules for the imposition of PKB and BBNKB for public vehicle KBL that uses batteries, are incentives from the governor

From the regulations above, we can know that the government provides quite a large incentive to pay the four-wheeled vehicle tax. Therefore, it can be concluded that the tax on electric motorized vehicles is not expensive, in fact, tends to be really relatively cheap.

Then, why is the tax for four-wheeled electric vehicles not expensive? The answer is because the government supports the increase in production of four-electric wheeled vehicles.

VehiclesRoadFour electricitys are relied on can be a solution to solving pollution and other environmental problems. Therefore, the more users of four-wheeled vehicles can contribute to the decline in environmental problems.

The government also wants people to compete more to produce four-electric wheeled vehicles. This motivation will increase if there are also more fans of four-wheeled electric vehicles.

The provision of tax incentives for electric motorized vehicles is one of the government's efforts to support this.
