        "content": "<p>A member of Commission III of the West Java DPRD, Tina Wiryawati,\nviews the motor vehicle tax (PKB) discount policy rolled out by the West\nJava Provincial Government as a concrete form of support for the\ncommunity. In particular, it lightens the economic burden ahead of Eid\nal-Fitr 2026. The 10% discount programme for annual vehicle tax payments\napplies from 18 March to 24 March 2026 and can be utilised by West Java\nresidents. \u201cThis is a policy that deserves appreciation. The government\nis present to provide ease and relief to the community through vehicle\ntax discounts. Amid rising needs during Lebaran, this is certainly very\nhelpful,\u201d Tina told Republika on Thursday (19\/3\/2026). According to her,\nthis policy not only impacts the economic side of the community but also\nencourages increased tax compliance. With the incentive, the public is\nexpected to become more aware of the importance of fulfilling tax\nobligations on time. \u201cTax payment awareness must continue to be built.\nWith this discount, the community has the opportunity to fulfil their\nobligations more lightly. This is a strategic step by the government,\u201d\nshe said. Tina emphasised that the vehicle tax paid by the public\nultimately returns in the form of regional development. She mentioned\nthat the West Java Provincial Government is currently focused on\nboosting infrastructure development in various areas. \u201cIt needs to be\nunderstood that the tax paid by the public does not disappear. Those\nfunds return in the form of development, such as road repairs, bridges,\nand other public facilities. This must continue to be socialised,\u201d she\nstated. She also urged the public not to miss the opportunity,\nespecially since the payment process is now increasingly easy through\ndigital services. \u201cThe public can utilise various online payment\nchannels that have been provided. So there is no reason to delay tax\npayments anymore,\u201d she said. Previously, the West Java Governor, Kang\nDedi Mulyadi (KDM), stated that this PKB discount policy is an effort by\nthe government to provide convenience while encouraging the public to be\nwiser in managing expenses during the Lebaran momentum. The 10%\ndiscount, said KDM, applies specifically to online payments, either\nthrough KiosK Samsat at all main Samsat offices, the Sapawarga\napplication, or Signal (National Digital Samsat). \u201cRather than the money\nbeing spent on Lebaran, it\u2019s better to pay the tax and get a 10%\ndiscount,\u201d said KDM on Wednesday (18\/3\/2026).<\/p>",
