        "summary": "A new regulation from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Permendagri No. 11 of 2026, classifies battery-based electric vehicles as taxable under motor vehicle tax (PKB) and motor vehicle ownership transfer tax (BBNKB), ending their automatic tax exemption. Provinces now have the flexibility to set their own incentives, such as rate reductions or partial exemptions, based on local fiscal policies. In Central Java, the provincial government through the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) will implement these rules, with the specific tax policy for electric vehicles still under determination, impacting ownership costs and adoption rates in the region.",
        "content": "<p>SEMARANG, KOMPAS.com - Through Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation\nNumber 11 of 2026, battery-based electric vehicles are now designated as\nobjects of Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer\nTax (BBNKB). With this new regulation, electric vehicles no longer fall\ninto the category of automatic tax exemption. This means that, under the\nregulation, electric vehicles remain subject to PKB and BBNKB, although\nthe rates do not have to be the same as for conventional fuel-based\nvehicles. Provincial governments now have the leeway to determine the\namount of incentives, ranging from rate discounts to partial tax\nexemptions, in accordance with each region\u2019s fiscal policies. Deputy\nHead of the Registration and Identification Sub-Directorate of the\nCentral Java Police Traffic Directorate, AKBP Prianggo Malau, emphasised\nthat the regulation still refers to the central government, but its\nimplementation is carried out by the regions. \u201cFor PKB and BBNKB as well\nas the treatment of electric vehicles, the regulation is governed by the\nMinistry of Home Affairs. Then, the implementation in Central Java is\nhandled by the Provincial Government through the Provincial Revenue\nAgency,\u201d he told Kompas.com on Tuesday (21\/4\/2026). In Central Java, the\nimplementation of these rules falls under the Provincial Government\nthrough the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda). Meanwhile, the electric\nvehicle tax policy in Central Java is still in the determination stage.\nThis decision will greatly influence the cost of ownership as well as\nthe direction of electric vehicle adoption in the area. Not only the\nvehicle price, but also annual tax components and ownership transfer\ncosts are now heavily influenced by the policies of the region where the\nvehicle is registered.<\/p>",
